The nordic modern kitchen

How do you make a minimalist kitchen with stone feel soft and warm? And how do you manage to make stripped cupboard doors feel homely? It's all about the layout and color choice!

In a beautiful apartment on Östermalm in Stockholm, we have created an exclusive and functional kitchen that at the same time feels welcoming and cozy. Despite the fact that the doors are stripped in their design and that the worktop is in a elegant marble, the kitchen feels soft and cozy thanks to the color choice and how the kitchen is arranged.

Many kitchens, especially in apartments have limited space and therefore require that you place a tall cabinet near the window, which darkens the rest of the room. If you have space, it is very nice to let an uninterrupted line like this climb along an entire wall. The light from the window casts beautiful streaks of light on the arabescato marble.

The few details that have been added all have a timeless design that is both simple and expressive. Among other things, the Louis Weisdorf's Multi little lamp from 1972 over the kitchen island and the bar stools of Danish OEO studio for Brdr Krüger. The chairs pick up the colors nicely in the kitchen, with seats in warm gray leather and legs in oak, which can be found inside the cabinets.

By painting all the cabinets in a warm gray tone, a feeling of warmth and softness is created. Building the kitchen on site and ensuring that all lines harmonize with each other adds additional balance. The less contrasting details and interruptions in the design - the calmer it feels.

The entire apartment was completely renovated and the calm color scheme, the beautiful options and the well-thought-out feeling are consistent throughout the home. The oak parquet has also been treated so that it has a soft gray color. When you look into the kitchen from the adjoining room, it feels warm and harmonious.

Building and adapting your kitchen to the room and folding the hob and knob into the worktop gives a functional and well-thought-out impression. By peeling off and focusing only on three elements in the design choice - the enchantingly beautiful arabescato marble, the soft warm gray kitchen doors and the appliances from Gaggenau, the impression is refined and in this way you get an elegant and harmonious kitchen.

Despite the fact that there are no visible knobs on drawers and cupboards, the kitchen is super functional - partly thanks to the double grips and partly thanks to the large pull-out drawers that can easily store kitchen assistants, blenders and large pots.

The way we live and socialize today makes a larger kitchen with a kitchen island in the middle an excellent choice. The kitchen island is a perfect place to gather, socialize and work.

The Arabescato marble is beautifully in white with long gray streaks in an organic pattern.

To match the tone of the cabinets, the bright, reflective color Silver on the appliances from Gaggenau was chosen. In addition, the wine cooler was built in so that the door is in the same material and color as the rest of the kitchen. The floor and walls are also in the same and warm color scheme.

The design of the kitchen keeps a clear line. The marble, the warm gray kitchen doors and the appliances are in the center and the combination of the three has set the tone in the kitchen.

In the same way that the modern and minimalist kitchen has been married to the apartment's preserved turn-of-the-century details, there is also furniture from different eras. Magniberg's pink stool matches nicely with an ornamented pillar table and a modern work of art.

The inside of the cabinets are clad in beautiful oak and will age as beautifully as the rest of the kitchen. Giving the materials undivided space in the spotlight gives a very beautiful impression.

Few things are as functional as large pull-out drawers. That way, no unnecessary things will be hidden in the drawers.

The Arbescato marble has clear gray lines in the otherwise white stone. The pattern gives the kitchen a soft organic feeling and adds both a feeling of luxury and tranquility.
