6 tips for renovating your kitchen in Scandinavian style

 

 

In the world of interior design, Scandinavian style has become a favorite, especially in kitchens.

 

Originating in the Nordic countries, Scandinavian design quickly spread worldwide due to its focus on simplicity and functionality. Its main characteristics include the use of natural materials, neutral colors, clean lines, and minimalist design. In kitchens, this translates into creating a cozy, bright, and above all, practical space for everyday living.

 

If you're thinking about renovating your kitchen, discover how to bring that Nordic touch with Neolith sintered stone surfaces.

Choose neutral tones

White, gray, and beige tones are essential in Scandinavian design, creating a light and bright base that reflects natural light. This neutral background not only visually expands the space, but also creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

 

Neolith's wide range of designs offers options that perfectly fit this palette.

Incorporate Natural Materials

Using natural materials is another cornerstone of Scandinavian design. A perfect example is the kitchen of famous Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt and his partner Sanna Lundell, who paired Neolith Himalaya Crystal with dark wood, providing the space a serene identity.

 

 

On the other hand, complement your Neolith kitchen countertop with wooden accessories, plants, and organic textiles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Embrace Simplicity

When it comes to accessories, the Scandinavian mantra is "less is more." The few decorative elements should be carefully chosen and have a practical function.

 

Simple potted plants, wooden cutting boards, linen or cotton textiles in neutral tones, and a few well-designed kitchen utensils are all you need to personalize the space without overwhelming it.

 

This is the approach Norwegian influencer and designer Emilie Willoch took with her kitchen, also choosing Neolith Himalaya Crystal to add a touch of sophistication.

 

 

Emilie's kitchen stands out for its simplicity, pairing the Neolith countertop with small details that give the space a sense of openness.

Prioritize Lighting

Since winters in Nordic countries are long and dark, lighting is crucial. Maximizing natural light is essential, so large windows without heavy curtains are common.

 

If natural light is limited, complement it with warm-toned artificial lighting. Minimalist pendant lamps, recessed lighting, and wall sconces are excellent choices for evenly lighting the space.

 

In this kitchen, the island features Neolith Estatuario with a polished finish, allowing warm light to reflect off the surface and enhance the overall brightness of the space.

 

Focus on Functionality and Minimalism

Stick to straight lines and minimalist design. Neolith countertops, with their clean and elegant finish, are the perfect complement to this aesthetic. Additionally, smooth cabinet doors without visible handles are a great choice to maintain design continuity. Neolith offers solutions for cladding both walls and kitchen furniture, helping you achieve this distinctive style.

Commitment to Sustainability

Scandinavian design is also deeply connected to sustainability. This makes Neolith an ideal material for these spaces, as it’s an eco-friendly surface made from natural raw materials and fully recyclable.

 

 

Adopting Scandinavian style in your kitchen allows you to enjoy a space that is not only visually pleasing, but also functional and welcoming.

 

By combining a neutral color palette, natural materials, and minimalist furniture, you can create a kitchen that exudes beauty and tranquility. Best of all, this style is timeless, meaning your Scandinavian kitchen will remain relevant for years to come.
