This is the other view of the kitchen from my previous post. Ahhh…
To my eye, this is one elegant kitchen! Simple, modern, a very warm, comforting pattern on the wall, a natural skin rug and the warmth of wood legs on the chairs. The copper lighting fixture is perfect. I feel like I’m looking at a painting.
Stone, stainless, white, mushroom…neutrals with a cool/warm combination read fresh, modern, and warm. A touch of tradition via the shaker door style, yet it all works together and is a very pleasing look.
Interesting golds and bronze tones within a very modern wood kitchen. Paired with plain and light colored floors and a table, as two horizontal elements, it’s a look for a kitchen that is different than we normally see. It’s very warm.
An industrial Scandinavian kitchen combines white, stainless steel and natural wood cabinetry with a touch of nature in the antlers set above the window. It’s a warm industrial look to my eye.
A green Scandinavian kitchen - green tiles and trim create a flow. I love the shelves, the medium toned wood and the simple walls. I don’t love the floor tile. Simple is good. From Maison Interior - a Scandinavian magazine.
Simple, elegant details in Scandinavian kitchens speak volumes. Note the thin, but elegant, wood countertop cutout surrounding the sink and the thinner than normal drawer front…a very modern look to a traditional framed cabinet. Stunning. Last, interesting door/drawer configurations and a think corian countertop with a super thin sink cutout. Elegant. Simple. Functional.
That’s what I call authentic! Maybe not the most beautiful or logical in a design sense, but real and authentic. It is deserving of a respectful feeling for the interior. From www.maloblogg.blogspot.com
I like to look at images I’ve taken in Scandinavia and translate colors, textures, and styles to our interiors for design inspiration.
First, I love the combination of the softest white/gray walls combined with charcoal, white, brown and a color accent such as the green or yellow seen in the plants. Serene and calm to my eye, see below:
Wow, below is another inspiring combination, unexpected too…orange/terracotta color paired with soft gray with a blue/green undertone and dark blue accent. I can visualize a floor painted the soft blue/gray color in a kitchen with bright melon walls or isolated accents such as painting the backs of glass cabinets.
And yet another group of traditional Scandinavian colors which can surely be placed into a modern interpretation. Warm oyster gray, soft blue/gray, white and terracotta, perhaps again, as accents. Any combination can be used as kitchen design elements.
via www.digsdigs.com The soft shade of gray makes me calm. The fresh, rich, colors of food makes it all so appealing. It’s a virtual monochromatic look which helps the look flow.
It’s a mix of several design elements, as many Scandinavian kitchens are…a little industrial, a little (a lot) modern, a little furniture-like, a little real rustic, and definitely minimalist/simplistic with the shapes and forms telling the story. And let’s not forget white!
So much inspiration below, which can be interpreted into your kitchen design, as seen in and around Copenhagen, photographed by me.
Neutrals…light wood mixed with deep gray, white, black. Think light wood cabinetry, deep charcoal floors, stainless appliances and countertops and white walls.
Red mixed with terracotta and touches of purple/gray with white or cream. Gray cabinetry throughout…white countertops, red walls and red/purple/terracotta accessories. Imagine..
More inspiring colors seen in the architecture in Copenhagen. The black and green shades are perfect; imagine using those colors in a kitchen design, with accents of blue, like the door, or soft gray. Green walls in the home, or this fresh green color as countertops over black or gray cabinetry…lots of variations on the theme
(via thatkitchen) Great example of a fresh, colorful Scandinavian kitchen - a pleasant burst of color and pattern in a scale that makes sense to my eye.
A trash can as sculpture…
