Scandi kitchen designs are hugely popular in Australia and there is plenty of great information out there on the design. My purpose today is to help someone who likes the modern Scandinavian style for their kitchen but just wants to be told in basic terms how to make it happen.

Firstly what even is the Scandi style I speak of.

We talking are about clean lines, muted colours and minimalism for this timeless style of renovation.

To make this as simple as possible I will break it down into three simple aspects of a kitchen design to help.

• Simplest Tones and Cupboards For A Modern Scandi Kitchen
• Best Splashback Materials For A Scandinavian Kitchen
• Easy Feature To Add To Finish The Look

Where Do I Start Making My Modern Scandi Kitchen

Firstly a modern Scandinavian kitchen incorporates a minimal color palette.

We are talking whites and neutral hues blend with light, natural wood tones, while pops of blue and green bring the colours of the outdoors inside. The simple palette provides a clean backdrop

Without a doubt, a modern Scandinavian kitchen is a pleasure to behold.

It brings together all the strengths of Nordic interior design schemes to turn a conventional space into one that demands attention.

Let’s start making it easy for you with WHAT TYPE OF WOOD FINISH SHOULD I USE for scandi kitchens

Below are the FOUR most popular woods to use.

So the most simple style to break it down is the mostly white kitchen cupboards with accent of timber finishes for the modern Scandi kitchen.

Below are a few images of what I am talking about to help you get the visual.

These stunning but simple kitchens all have three key elements for anyone trying to create a warm but modern Scandi kitchen,

• Mostly White Cupboards With One or Two Timber Finishes Around Tall Cupboards Or Shelves
• Beautiful Wood Floorings To Set Off The White
• Island Benches With Scandi Wood Stools That Set Them Off

For me, these three elements really are the simplest way to create that Scandinavian-looking and feeling kitchen without overthinking it,

What splashback do you install for a modern Scandi kitchen renovation?

If you have a Scandi-style kitchen you often stress about what type of splashback you should install well I am here to help you with the best two Scandinavian splashbacks.

Subtle White On White – Scandi splashbacks are often muted so when you do a white tile you can lay them in any shape or angle but it almost always is grouted white creating a subtle finish.

Organic Finish – With any natural or relaxing space continuation is import. Running a benchtop into the splashback or a wall finish into the splashback are both subtle but organic feeling splashbacks.

By nature, splashbacks in Scandinavian kitchens are not the feature they are there to serve a purpose and not distract you.

Add Features To Your Modern Scandinavian Kitchen

Firstly TAPWARE choices are unlimited now but the most common you will get for this style of kitchen is the brushed brass finish.

Anything brushed when it comes to tapware has a calming warm feel to it that combines so well with those timbers and concrete finishes.

Previously the most popular finish for this Scandi kitchen was the matt black which still looks beautiful but just not as popular these days.

Finally, we have the most fun and most popular time in the whole Scandinavian theme designs I am talking about the STOOLS.

Along with the decorative lights the stool choice is super important as they often will be the loudest part of your modern Scandi kitchen.

However, this is the fun part and the most unique part of making this kitchen design work and the best part is you can get as creative as you want.

Unlike the cupboards, these bad boys can be changed at any time so you can take a bit of risk.

Final Thoughts

Like all renovations, the functionality of your kitchen should be of prime importance but secondly to simply get this kitchen style underway start with white walls and wood flooring and gradually build upon that clean aesthetic to maintain the minimalism that is key to a Scandi kitchen.

Keeping it tonal and simple while trying to get lots of light in your space will be the most simple way to get that natural Scandi feel to your space.

Finally, the biggest reason this style of kitchen booms is we all love the idea of being in a calm and relaxing space and Scandi-style kitchens bring that.
