The Scandinavian style, established in northern Europe at the beginning of the 20th century in countries such as Denmark, Finland and Sweden, aims to make maximum use of light. The result is a kitchen with cosy, well-balanced, peaceful atmosphere in which white is the predominant colour.
Scandinavian kitchens are distinguished by their wooden floors in warm tones. Wood adds a light, warm atmosphere to the room and to white furniture.
Another option is to use porcelain materials such as Dekton to obtain this texture, which does not need the special care required by natural wood.

As for the walls, neutral tones are recommended. Bright colours and risky contrasts should be avoided in atmospheres of this type.
The rest of the decoration in a Scandinavian kitchen may include enamelled white tones, paying special attention to the cooking area, which may be of a colour that matches the extraction hood.
White is the basic colour for the furniture in any Scandinavian kitchen. Creating an airy, luminous atmosphere is essential in a country where the days are short and there is little daylight.
Eat-in areas for breakfasts, lunches and suppers must be installed in the part of the kitchen with the most light.
Scandinavian kitchens
The Kensho colour belongs to this series. Due to its light grey tone, it is perfect for creating a balanced, elegant kitchen.
Haiku, an ivory colour inspired by the famous Japanese poems, converts the kitchen into a simple and peaceful area. Both colours can be used to replace white, or in combination with that colour.
The Yukon colour from the Silestone Rivers Series is another perfect white tone that has all the necessary characteristics to create a calm, peaceful, cosy atmosphere.
