Scandi & Japandi Inspired Kitchens
Calm, Functional, and Timeless
At Boyes Design, we create Scandi and Japandi-inspired kitchens that combine simplicity, natural materials, and thoughtful design. Crafted in our Nottingham studio, each bespoke kitchen balances clean lines, functional layouts, and warm textures — creating spaces that feel calm, contemporary, and enduring.
What Defines a Scandi Kitchen
Scandi design is rooted in light, balance, and everyday functionality. In the kitchen, this translates to:
Soft, neutral colour palettes — whites, pale greys, and muted natural tones
Honest materials such as ash, oak, and stone
Streamlined cabinetry with subtle detailing
Functional layouts that support modern living
The result is a kitchen that feels bright, uncluttered, and effortlessly welcoming — a space designed to be lived in, not just admired.
The Japandi Influence
Drawing on the simplicity of Scandinavian design and the serenity of Japanese aesthetics, Japandi kitchens embrace craftsmanship and restraint. We combine warm timber tones with smooth stone surfaces, layered lighting, and natural textures to create spaces that feel grounded, harmonious, and enduringly elegant.
Every Boyes Design kitchen is made in our Nottingham workshop, ensuring exceptional quality and a seamless design-to-installation process.
Bespoke Kitchens, Tailored to You
Every kitchen we create is truly bespoke. We begin by understanding how you live — from busy mornings to relaxed evenings — shaping a design that feels natural, functional, and timeless.
Our Nottingham workshop brings each concept to life with custom joinery and carefully selected materials. Every element, from the proportion of an island to the curve of a cabinet handle, is made to measure — ensuring a space that looks and feels beautifully balanced.
Sustainability in Scandi & Japandi Design
Sustainability is at the heart of both Scandi and Japandi kitchen design — and central to our approach at Boyes Design. We use responsibly sourced timbers, durable materials, and low-VOC finishes wherever possible.
By focusing on longevity, natural materials, and enduring craftsmanship, we create bespoke kitchens that are as sustainable as they are beautiful — designed to last for generations.
More Than a Kitchen
Our Scandi and Japandi-inspired kitchens often form part of full home interior design projects. By extending the same calm, refined aesthetic into living, dining, and utility spaces, we create homes that feel cohesive, balanced, and beautifully connected.
