Our love of the pared-back, clutter-free, nature-inspired Scandi kitchen, with its beautiful clean lines and soft colour palette, isn’t going anywhere soon. We’re all still huge fans of their easy-to-live-with, relaxed aesthetic; however, if you’re after an updated and more dramatic spin on this much-loved style, you need to embrace your darker, edgier side and take a look at the growing trend for Nordic Noir kitchens.
The Nordic Noir kitchen look is inspired by the atmospheric moodiness of the cult Scandi crime thrillers that have been all over our screens recently. Nordic Noir kitchens have the same minimalist ethos, full of understated charm, but rather than a soft palette of pale woods and off white tones that we see with classic Scandi kitchen ideas you need to incorporate dark-stained wood cabinetry and sultry matt black surfaces together with richly textured natural materials.
