We consider cuisines from Scandinavian countries and adopt the most spectacular and stylish techniques.

1 With projector 

In such atmospheric Scandinavian kitchens-living rooms as this, it is almost impossible to meet a TV, it does not fit at all with furniture, finishing materials and the general atmosphere. Aesthetic wooden furniture, an interesting mirrored cabinet and even an unusual rack for glassware is a pity to interrupt with black plastic. Here, instead of it, they hung a large projector in a light case, it almost merges with the walls and does not spoil the overall look of the kitchen.

What can be adopted

One of the most important style lessons from the Scandinavians is a careful attitude to the atmosphere and attention to detail. If the TV does not fit into the situation at all, but you want to watch a movie at a table or in a recreation area, you can hang a projector. A large screen will give a good overview from anywhere in the room, and when assembled it will be almost invisible.

2 With vintage accents

This cuisine in the traditional Scandinavian style immediately arouses interest. When there is no feeling that the interior was created yesterday from scratch, the same wow effect is created, even if in fact the house does not have a long history. A wooden table and chairs, a slightly worn velvet sofa, a crystal chandelier under the ceiling and paintings in vintage frames set the right atmosphere. 

What can be adopted

Scandi is perfectly combined with vintage and classic elements. If you like this aesthetic, but you prefer a modern interior, add decor and a couple of pieces of furniture in classic aesthetics to the renovated kitchen. Or for authenticity, something from the “grandmother’s” inheritance. If you don’t have such decor, look for it at flea markets or bulletin boards. 

3 With an accent chandelier

The first thing that catches the eye when entering this kitchen is an accent chandelier of impressive size. To make it look harmonious, the rest of the space was decorated quite minimally: in neutral tones and simple lines. The full-wall kitchen set doesn’t even have an upper row of cabinets, it would argue with an accent over the dining area. The table itself is large, for eight people. This size looks proportionally next to a large chandelier.

What can be adopted

Having successfully chosen one large and noticeable accent, you will immediately close the issue with decoration. It remains only to complement the main decoration and make sure that no other bright details will distract attention from it.

4 With chameleon kitchen set

Wow effect is not always associated with bright colors, accent wallpaper or large spectacular decor. The cooking area in this Scandinavian studio is a delight due to how harmoniously it fits into the space, remaining almost invisible. This is important, because otherwise residents will have the feeling that they are sleeping in the kitchen, while the main semantic emphasis of housing should be placed on the living area. Therefore, a miniature beige set was installed here and shaded with dark wooden shelves.

What can be adopted

Matte surfaces in the color of the walls will make any large furniture much less noticeable. This technique is great for small areas, so it can be successfully used in studios or small-sized ones.

5 With textured details

White Scandinavian cuisines like this are never boring. The secret is in the variety of textures and surfaces on which they are used. For example, there is a brick wall, a three-dimensional ceiling, an oblong tile on the apron, a smooth matte headset. All this involuntarily wants to be considered, so the space looks interesting and multifaceted.

What can be adopted

Before starting the repair, think about which surfaces will surround you. The more of them, the more voluminous and original the kitchen will be. Just do not forget to maintain the general style and color scheme (it is better to use calm neutral shades). An overabundance of colors, patterns and pronounced textures will have the opposite effect on such an interior it will be painful to look at.
