2. Color palette - Think of Scandinavian design and consider a neutral color palette. A white, classic kitchen with a mix of natural wood elements is a great place to start. Use a variety of materials and textures and don’t be afraid to mix different woods, fabrics (cotton and wool), and metals. You want your space to feel warm and comforting with wooden details but also sleek and modern to stand out and create interest.

3. Floating Shelves (Open shelving) - Keep your everyday mugs, bowls, and dishes within reach and on display, since they are constantly being used, this means less dusting!

5. Butler Sink/apron-front farmhouse sink - A classic, apron-front farmhouse sink will instantly give your kitchen a “farmhouse” vibe. Plus, you’ll never go back! A farmhouse sink is deep and spacious, allowing plenty of room for dishes, baby or puppy baths, and it looks stunning!
