Clear lines, bright colours, natural materials: The Scandinavian furnishing style is one of the most popular living trends. It creates calm, has a minimalist effect - and is surprisingly cosy at the same time.
What characterises Scandi chic in the kitchen? How important are accessories? And does the style also work in a small space? We show you how to realise the Nordic look in your kitchen.

Well-placed Scandinavian decorative elements in the kitchen ensure cosiness and individuality. Sparingly used individual pieces such as candlesticks or planters create visual variety, Scandinavian dining and cookware in simple shapes is both useful and aesthetic.
Tip: A natural flair is simply part of the Scandinavian kitchen - ideally with wooden accessories, green plants and fresh herbs on the windowsill.
Do you like bright, discreetly furnished rooms, do you like spending time with family and friends at the kitchen table and enjoy the cosy atmosphere? Sparsely furnished surfaces and restrained, cosy accessories for clever accents are exactly what you like? Then you should feel completely at home in the Scandinavian kitchen.
The typical design features of the Nordic-inspired kitchen harmonise with open-plan living concepts as well as with classic kitchens in small rooms.

Less is more in the Scandinavian kitchen - and this also applies to the electrical appliances and elements such as the sink and extractor. For the desired calm overall look, built-in appliances are ideal, as they fit almost seamlessly into the line. A cooktop with an integrated extractor absorbs steam and odours directly where they are generated and creates a clean, elegant look. Sufficient storage space that is as enclosed as possible as well as a well thought-out arrangement of cupboards and appliances enables efficient use of space.
The BORA cooktop extractor systems effectively absorb odours and steam where they arise - and blend in visually with the cooktop.
