Danish kitchen design & tradition

The style of Danish kitchen design is known for its simple, functional and minimalist aesthetics. The Danish design tradition emphasizes functionality, durability and aesthetic appeal. Here are some of the distinguishing features of Danish kitchen design:

• Clean and minimalist aesthetics: Danish kitchen design is characterized by a clean and minimalist style, where the focus is on simplicity and elegant lines. Smooth surfaces, clean colors and discreet handles or grips are often used. You can create a personal and organic look by adding textiles and "soft" design to your kitchen. Make use of tea towels in beautiful shades with artistic prints. Put a tray with nice plants and your favorite things on it and or hang a wall textile on the wall.

• Quality materials: Danish design emphasizes the use of quality materials that are durable and aesthetically pleasing. It can be woods such as oak or walnut, stainless steel, marble or granite for table tops and ceramic tiles for walls. Add personal photos and beautiful art posters in frames that match your kitchen, for example natural oak frames or a brass frame.

• Functional layout: Functionality is an important part of Danish kitchen design. Emphasis is placed on creating an efficient and intuitive work flow in the kitchen. Storage solutions, such as drawer organizers and smart corner cabinets, are used to maximize space and make it easy to organize kitchen utensils and ingredients. Here you can again use tea towels and eco friendly cloths to create a personal look, full of functionality and elegance.

• Integrated white goods: In Danish kitchen design, there is a tendency to integrate white goods such as ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers in the kitchen cabinets to achieve a seamless appearance. This contributes to a clean and minimalist aesthetic.

• Natural light: Great emphasis is placed on utilizing natural light in Danish kitchen design. Large windows and glass doors allow plenty of daylight to flow into the room, creating a light and airy atmosphere. TIP: Use mirrors to create air and light. Let them reflect the natural light that comes in through the window, or mirror your favorite corner or your art favorites on the wall.

• Cozy and atmosphere: Although Danish kitchen design is minimalist, there is also a focus on creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. This is achieved through the use of soft textiles such as curtains or cushions, live plants, lighting and personal touches. Use our trays in birch veneer or tapas board to make cozy and elegant "still lifes" with. They also look great with lights, plants and spices on them.

• Sustainability: Danish design tradition has a strong commitment to sustainability. There is a tendency to choose environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient appliances. Reuse and reuse of materials are also important principles in Danish kitchen design. At Mette Handberg.com all our kitchen products are produced in Sweden with local material such as birch veneer. They are all eco friendly, and last a long life full of use.

Overall, the style of Danish kitchen design is characterized by simplicity, functionality and aesthetic appeal. It's about creating a kitchen that is beautiful, practical and comfortable to work and live in. And don't forget the personal touch, which is always the finishing touch.
