Gray, white, beige kitchen
A better look at both sides of the neutral kitchen from 2 previous posts. Isn’t it simple and elegant? I’m crazy about the roll up shade.
So incredibly gorgeous, I’m nearly speechless……

This space makes me feel good.

A wonderful art gallery in Bornholm, Denmark. Perfectly Scandinavian - light, simple, clean, modern and warm at the same time. I love the feel of this space and I love the artwork too.
A simple, chic, Scandinavian kitchen all about warmth and contrast. It’s a warm minimalism. It is beautifully designed, even down to the dark cables attached to white pendants. A composition consisting of blocks of color and form. The Series 7 chairs are perfect - understated yet interesting.
Always fascinating to me to see style take the strong lead in a Scandinavian kitchen design. This is what I’m talking about - Scandinavian kitchen design is not focused on maximizing storage - it is the “dance” of storage and aesthetics, where storage does not win *by default* as it often/usually does in the US. Instead, the end is seen from the beginning, with an equal (key word) focus on style as well as function. This puts black appliances in a whole new light, so to speak! And, less wall cabinetry means a great, spacious feeling.
I also love the dining area…all about contrast, the chairs exploiting the light finishes of other elements.
An extreme eclectic kitchen. “Simple” works wonders. It allows a very few special pieces, or groups, viewed as one block, to communicate the style message. At first, I completely missed the straight lines of the table since it works so perfectly with the straight lines of the kitchen elements. What I am less enthusiastic about is the chandelier above the table. A bit of a fussy industrial look, its style, different than the uber traditional and sleek modern of the other elements, does not work for me. It seems to be trying to be a bridge between the two styles. Image from Bo Bedre.
A blending of a touch of minimalism, country, rustic, and modern speaks “style” quietly but in such an elegant way. It’s also about comfort, function and form. I think if there was one thing I’d change, it would be the cabinet below the artwork. I’d like to see another furniture piece there.
One of my most favorite, and very simple images, not even so very well shot. It shows a Scandinavian sensibility. It’s the entrance to an apartment (in my cousin’s building in Copenhagen). We see classic forms combined with natural elements and the cozy yet modern touch of the candle holders, and let’s not forget the rope heart. This is a very Scandinavian vignette and one which I think speaks to so many people. I love this image in all its imperfection (as shot). It clearly says “home” even before the resident walks through the door.
White, Gray, Warm Kitchen
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.
Kitchen Of Neutrals
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.
Industrial Modern Scandinavian Kitchen
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.

Wow…what an inspirational, highly personal, kitchen this is. It may not be for everyone, but it surely is one of a kind.

Scandinavian Design Inspiration
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.
