Learn all about how Lisa's Scandinavian style kitchen came together.
When Lisa, a design consultant at our Cardiff Colchester Avenue showroom first moved into her 1970s bungalow, it wasn't long until she began designing her dream Scandinavian style kitchen.
One of the main changes she wanted to make was with the function of the kitchen - the original kitchen lacked storage and always felt quite disconnected to the rest of the house. Lisa wanted her new kitchen to have a large presence in the home and become the hub for socialising and entertaining friends and family.
When Lisa began designing she knew she wanted a handleless kitchen and loved the bold colour of graphite - especially when I matched it with the wood effect finish of Portland Oak. When these two finishes were put together, Lisa knew she had found the perfect match for her dream kitchen. One of Lisa's favourite trends at the moment is open shelving - it’s a fantastic way to add your personality to the kitchen, so she created bespoke open shelving unit which we love!
Mix and Match
The silky smooth finish of Sutton H Line Silk works beautifully when matched with the wood effect finish of Portland Oak.
Keeping it open
Open shelving is one of our favourite design features, no matter the size of your kitchen this feature will work for you.
Get social
Combining your kitchen island as space for food prep and a seating area brings everyone together during social gatherings.
The Scandi look
One of the biggest trends is the Scandinavian style and this can be easily achieved through using one of our many handleless ranges from our H Line Collection.
