About The Project
We took inspiration from modern Scandinavian interiors which are celebrated for their natural textures, clean lines, and clever use of light. The space was envisioned as the heart of the home: open, calm, and beautifully integrated with the living and dining zones. The result is a tranquil yet practical sanctuary where form and function meet effortlessly.
The Design Concept
The materials are a celebration of understated Scandinavian elegance. A soft, natural palette of light oak, crisp white, and muted matte grey sets a serene, contemporary tone. Handleless cabinetry in satin finishes flows seamlessly through the space, creating a minimalist aesthetic that allows the beauty of each surface to shine. The concrete-effect laminate worktops wrap gracefully around the island, offering both durability and textural depth. To soften the geometry, the island features a ribbed panel detail—an organic touch that invites interaction and adds visual rhythm. Integrated LED lighting accentuates the clean lines and enhances the atmosphere from day to night.
The Result
The finished kitchen is a masterclass in refined simplicity. Every element feels cohesive and intentional. From the warm timber accents to the subtle interplay of light and texture. It’s a space that feels simultaneously calming and contemporary, inviting both quiet morning routines and lively family gatherings. Scandinavian by inspiration, but entirely tailored to the way this family lives, it’s a perfect harmony of design, craftsmanship, and comfort.
The Details
The open-plan space blends calm Scandinavian elegance with modern comfort. A deep blue velvet sofa adds a bold pop of colour, contrasting beautifully with the light flooring and soft neutral tones. In the kitchen, integrated Siemens appliances keep the design sleek and efficient, while natural timber cabinetry introduces warmth and texture. Together, these elements create a space that feels effortless, inviting, and perfectly balanced.
“Having Geddes involved in this design was invaluable—I couldn’t have achieved the look without them. Their vision and guidance made all the difference. When I finally enjoy a glass of fizz in my new home, I’ll raise it to the Geddes team!”
