Natural and light color palette

Natural light is an the key element in Scandinavian interior design, and the supporting white color is the key factor in Scandinavian style. In a white home, natural light is maximized throughout the year, especially in winter when it's scarce. One beloved trend is to mix different shades of white in the same space to create layers and depth. In this modern white Ingarö Kitchen, four different shades of white are combined. Brass handles and faucet, as well as other gold-colored details add playfulness to an otherwise light space.

Mixing materials to create contrast 

Scandinavian interior design emphasizes the use of natural materials and neutral colors. Although Scandinavian homes are light in their surface material choices, nothing prevents adding edge with black or gray, for example. It's easy to create contrast in the kitchen by combining different materials. Chrome and glass reflect light, while natural materials like natural stone and various woods bring warmth to the space.
