The look
What makes a Scandinavian kitchen
Scandinavian kitchens use a light palette of white, pale grey and birch or oak, flat or simple cabinet fronts and minimal hardware. Warmth comes from wood, ceramics and textiles rather than color, and the counters stay clear.
It suits small kitchens and rooms with limited daylight, since pale surfaces bounce light around. Add one soft accent color, like blush, sage or dusty blue, if it feels too plain.
Bright, functional beauty. Colors: white, grey, blush. Materials: birch, wool, ceramics.
- Flat or simple cabinet fronts in white or pale grey
- Birch or light oak for the counters, shelves or flooring
- Slim handles, finger pulls or push-to-open doors
- Pale tile or a simple painted wall for the backsplash
- Pendant lights in white, wood or paper

Before you build
Worth knowing first
- Light wood counters need oiling; a pale quartz or laminate gives the look with less upkeep.
- Plan good task lighting under the wall cabinets; pale kitchens still need it.
- Keep the clutter behind doors. The look depends on clear surfaces.
Each design can come with an estimated cost range for your zip code, so you get a rough idea of the budget before asking for quotes. How the estimate works
How much changes
