Tips on styles and materials from the Sundling Kickén design duo The kitchen is typically a room you will live with for a long
time. That’s why a long-term approach is best when choosing materials, functionality and design. We think the kitchen should function in daily life while also matching the overall style of your home. This starting point may not make your choices any easier, but we will try to help you out along the way with our favourites.
Elin Kickén “A countertop with a concrete look has vibrancy that I really like. I would choose kitchen cabinets in a warm colour as a soothing base. Chrome details feel spot-on.”
Eva Lotta Sundling “The floor is the base of the home, and light-coloured parquet floors bring a feeling of lightness next to greige or chalk white walls. I choose chrome pulls!”
White is always white White cabinets will never go out of style and they match everything. That’s why flat-front white cabinets are our first choice. For a bit more interest, we would add the light laminate countertop that resembles white-stained wood; the wood grain brings a touch of vitality. For the finishing touch, we recommend chrome knobs, whose cool metal marries beautifully with the other materials. The walls will look wonderful painted in a colour from a natural palette, to frame the white kitchen and emphasise the countertop. Another good idea is to break away from the palette entirely and furnish the room with a dining set in dark or blackstained oak for a striking effect. Trendy and timeless If you want to take things a different direction, a nature-infused kitchen with plenty of wood may be right for you. Starting with flat-front cabinets and straight lines, you can create a timeless look that sets the tone immediately. By skipping tile and opting for a backsplash and countertop in the same colour and material instead, you can create a different effect altogether. The overall look is warm, trendy, timeless and easy to care for – resulting in a kitchen that withstands the test of time. Push-to-open cabinets give the kitchen a clean, pared-down look. Colour and textiles
Adding wall colour and textiles is always a wonderful way to soften up your kitchen and make it more inviting. We love a tone-on-tone look to create harmony and an elegant setting for your kitchen decor. This will also create a foundation that feels carefully considered and understated, allowing your kitchen to truly come into its own. With furniture and details that are easy to change, you can pull out all the stops with contrasting colours, and add a personal touch to your kitchen.
