Colours that make it work

Three soft colours that sit at the heart of Scandinavian design, all warmed up with wood. Schüller’s lacquered ranges come in 29 colours, and its wood looks bring the natural side in.

Soft white#F1EDE4

Soft whiteWhere simplicity meets sophistication

Soft white is the starting point for most Scandinavian kitchens. It is a touch warmer than pure white, so the room feels open and bright without feeling cold. It makes a calm backdrop for wooden tables, steel appliances and the food on your worktop.

Pale grey#CFD1CD

Pale greyUnderstated and elegant

Pale grey is quiet and refined. It reflects light well and seems to shift through the day, cooler in the morning and softer in the evening. It looks lovely with wood floors, stainless steel and a marble worktop.

Sky blue#A9BFCF

Sky blueThe Nordic sky, brought indoors

A soft blue brings a bit of the outdoors into the kitchen. With crisp white it feels light and airy; next to darker tones it adds a little drama. Try it on an island, a run of base units or the walls.

Questions
Scandinavian kitchen FAQs

Short answers to what people ask us about scandinavian style kitchens.

What is a Scandinavian style kitchen?
One built around light, natural materials and calm. Think soft white, pale grey or gentle blue doors, plenty of pale wood, simple handles and clear worktops. It is minimal, but warm rather than stark.
How do I add wood to a Scandinavian kitchen?
Wood is what makes the style feel homely. Use it as an accent, such as oak open shelves, a worktop or a dining table, or go further with wood-effect doors and wall panels. Pale oak looks most at home, and a darker oak adds warmth.
How do I stop a Scandinavian kitchen feeling cold?
Choose warmer whites and greys rather than bright white, add wood, and bring in soft textures like linen, wool and plants. Warm lighting under wall units and shelves makes a big difference in the evening.
Which kitchen ranges suit a Scandinavian style?
Schüller Modena and Lineo bring the wood looks, Salona and Matera have soft matt fronts in calm colours, and Biella comes in all 29 satin colours. Nobilia Natural living is a great value alternative. You can see door samples of every range in our Cardiff showroom.
How much does a Scandinavian kitchen cost?
The style does not change the price much; the size of the room, the range and the appliances do. Complete kitchens with us start from £12k. Try our kitchen price estimator for a guide.
