Nordic-style kitchens usually use soft tones such as light-colored wood, beige, and white, with simple and fresh designs. The Nordic style emphasizes the use of natural materials and a clean and tidy sense of space, so it is also very easy to clean.

Dark kitchen cabinets have a strong contrast with white countertops, which can create a modern and fashionable feel. For example, dark gray, navy blue or black kitchen cabinets paired with white countertops will produce a very visually impactful effect.
