This elegant country kitchen combines rustic heritage, earthy tones, and classic forms with modern Scandinavian simplicity.
In the open, light-filled villa, oak, natural stone, and soft earthy tones come together to create a warm, timeless space.
A beautiful kitchen with a rustic character, balanced by Scandinavian design principles in a warm and harmonious composition. Painted in Nordiska Kök’s colour Desert Clay — a soft, earthy clay tone that brings calm and warmth to the space. The Lemon Ice granite worktop, with its subtle green hues, adds a sense of permanence, as if the kitchen has always belonged in the magnificent villa in Stockholm.
Along one side of the room, tall cabinetry with shaker cabinet doors, rise towards the ceiling, housing both fridge and freezer, while also providing generous storage. Minimalist brass handles enhance the cabinetry’s elegant expression.

At the centre of the kitchen sits a large granite kitchen island, lending weight and presence to the overall design. Centrally placed, it naturally becomes a place to gather, while functioning as a beautiful, freestanding piece of furniture in its own right. The solidity of the granite and clean lines, adds a contemporary edge, creating a subtle contrast to the traditional Shaker cabinetry.
The granite brings both weight and authenticity to the design — a natural material selected not only for its visual and tactile presence, but also for its durability.
Natural materials and subtle tones create a harmonious interplay that defines this kitchen.
Another focal point of the room is the statement range hood in copper. Both functional and sculptural, it introduces a sense of elegance while nodding to traditional country kitchens. The warm metallic finish sits comfortably alongside the clay-toned cabinetry and natural stone, creating a harmonious and balanced palette.
The presence of wood is evident throughout the house — in floors, windows, furniture and the kitchen — adding warmth and character to the home.
