Get inspired - Kitchens in Scandinavian colors
To choose the right kitchen color is one of the hardest decision when it comes to build a new kitchen. The contemporary Scandinavian color palette targets classic colorways and sophisticated hues. Earthy neutrals create a soothing atmosphere, while also being simple to decorate with.
Choose beige for your kitchen
Beige is a calming color, featured in most Nordic living spaces. Although of neutral character, beige adds warmth, particularly in darker shades. If targeting our kitchen space, beige and wooden surfaces makes an extraordinary pairing. Both follow a similar color scheme, easy to elevate or tone down through opting for warmer or colder shades. If you mix both, you get a subtle contrast in the kitchen without feeling overwhelming. Get inspired by more beige kitchens.

Greige kitchen ideas
Greige is a hybrid color, merging harmonic beige with contrasting grey. This hybrid is a popular choice for entire kitchen solutions as well as wall paint and smaller detailing. Other neutrals, grey in particular, suit well in a greige kitchen. If you’re browsing a warm kitchen color with a sober essence, greige is your choice.

Grey kitchen ideas
Grey adds sophisticated flair to our kitchen spaces, both through cold shades and dark, pepper-like hues. The light palette is easy to integrate in a white and beige dominant space, while darker shades of gray add contrast. Beside beiges and whites, grey works well with uplifting colors too, from soft pastels to vibrant light yellows. While it is popular to solely opt for grey kitchen cabinets or walls, grey-painted doors are on the rise. See more grey kitchens.

Calming green kitchen space
Similar to beige, green is a calming color, yet with a blossoming touch and natural connection to nature. These soothing traits makes green a bedroom favorite, but the color is just as suitable in your kitchen. A lighter shade makes the space feel bigger, while a darker option boosts energy flow. Combine green kitchen cabinets and storage with fresh green plants and herbs for a playful styling. Get inspired by more green kitchens.
