Bright and White With a Dash of Colour

If a definition was needed for a Scandinavian style in the kitchen it would have to be something along the lines of clean and simple with plenty of white and light.

White walls and ceiling reflect any artificial as well as natural light and that’s something you cannot get enough of in the kitchen. Maybe the connection with this fact and Scandinavia is that great chunks of that part of the world undergo 24 hours of darkness in mid-winter.

The contrast of light and bright kitchens must be a reminder that come the summer the exact opposite occurs with 24 hour daylight,

Whatever the reasons a Scandinavian style kitchen also conjures up a picture of solid reliability. No cheap Formica or chipboard here. Just solid oak and polished steel comes to mind.

A true handmade kitchen is hard to find. Most firms that advertise the fact that their kitchens are hand-made are stretching the truth. If hand-made means measuring the kitchen and then cutting the right length of work-top from a bigger piece of chipboard and fitting the standard size cupboards then where does that leave the genuine article?

This company takes the trouble to make at least one or two home visits to help the client plan the kitchen to their individual liking. The kitchen is measured to within a millimetre to ensure that when the fittings are put in place there is no gap at all. And no bodging with seals that are seen in cheaper kitchen work tops.

The wood is all prime oak from the Swedish forests and dove-tailed to create a very pleasing finish. This genuine hand crafted and fully worthy of being called made to measure kitchen is one that anyone would be proud to own.

With a kitchen that gives so much joy for the eye to behold it’s only logical that it becomes a pleasure to work in. This encourages adventurous food preparation and cooking. And it’s also the reason the kitchen and diner is the heart of the house and place where friends and family spend quality time.
