Pale, warm, restrained

Scandi kitchen tiles

Scandi kitchens are built on pale warm tones and one continuous surface plane. A 600×1200mm or 750×1500mm matte porcelain in soft white, oat, or warm light grey across the floor — minimal grout, no busy veining — is the canonical move. For the splashback, either match the floor in the same tile, or run a slim kit-kat or zellige in a tone-on-tone warm white behind the cooker. The kitchen reads as one warm, light room, not a series of decorated surfaces.
