Ring In Cozy Fall Vibes With These 5 Romantic Nordic Kitchen Looks By Realtor.com

This time of year always makes us think of cozy interiors—and how to re-create designs filled with warmth and simplicity in our spaces.

Whom better to turn to for inspiration than the Scandinavians? With their nights stretching up to 20 hours during the heart of winter and bone-chilling cold that can dip well below freezing, they’ve mastered the art of creating comfort.

So, how can you bring a touch of that Scandi-hygge vibe into your home? Start by incorporating more elements of Nordic design. Think minimalist looks with plenty of warm wood features, amazing mood lighting, and a few old-world touches like sheepskins and bronze metallics.

If the beginning of this fall season makes you ready for a more Nordic-inspired space, keep reading. We’re bringing five fresh-baked ideas from Instagram to help you reimagine your kitchen with all the romance of classic Scandinavian interiors.

1. Sheepskin barstools

If you want to transform your space with a touch of Scandinavian design instantly, look no further than these wooly bar stools from @amethyst.home.

“The use of sheep’s wool on Scandinavian home furnishings has been a classic through the ages. But today, it’s seen in fresh, new furnishings such as bar stools,” says designer Susan Serra. “The choice on bar stools is perfect to not only add warmth and comfort, but it adds an unexpected, natural texture to any interior design.”

2. Hammered bronze anything

Another unexpected and delightful Nordic look we love in kitchens? Hammered bronze details, like these pendants featured by @vision_by_milstead_and_hayter.

“A sultry blend of browns and gold, hammered bronze brings dimension to your typical smooth dome pendants,” says Joyce Huston, lead interior designer and co-founder of Decorilla. “The style is reminiscent of ancient metallics, adding a touch of luxury and charm that often looks even better with age.”

Speaking of vintage looks, we love how this candelabra chandelier from @kitchen_posts_daily brings romantic Nordic vibes to an otherwise austere kitchen design.

“Scandinavian design has always been obsessed with beautiful lighting,” says Serra. “This popular type of lighting fixture has it all: It’s oversized, yet light and airy; traditional in design, yet its size clearly makes it a modern design statement.”

4. Light-wash wood cabinetry

You’ll see a smorgasbord of light-wash woods in just about every Scandinavian kitchen, which is one reason this gorgeous cabinetry from @2711_interiors makes our list.

“Light-hued wood for your kitchen cabinet provides that soothing feeling desired by fans of Nordic interior design,” says designer Courtney Wollersheim, of FLOOR360. “A neutral color palette is the main characteristic of the style. Select a simply designed set of slim Shaker-style or flat-panel cabinets in white oak or light maple.”

5. Backlit open shelving

Statement lighting isn’t the only kind of glow found in Nordic-inspired kitchens, and the proof is in this understated yet centralized backlit shelving from @laurahammett.interiors.

“Layering soft glowing light from many sources is a great way to create a Scandinavian-inspired, warm and inviting kitchen,” says Wollersheim. “One way to do this is with indirect lighting positioned in cabinets or under cabinets, then use it to feature items like cutting boards, books, greenery, and stoneware.”
