"I would like to extend / remodel my kitchen which has Swedish wood cabinets. What color and what material to use for thecabinets and the countertop to go with the existing ones and give the kitchen a modern look? "

Swedish wood is a light colored wood with darker streaks and small pin knots. Over time, the color darkens to shades of red.

You can offer modern style to your kitchen by adding sleek and stylish new cabinets colored or white and appliances to blend with the old cabinets.

 You can choose any color, light or dark, depending on the size and brightness of your kitchen.

A dark gray or a dark inky blue color will highlight the Swedish wood of the exsting cabinetry and give a modern look in the kitchen.

If you like your kitchen simple and clean-cut choose white cabinets, which blend harmoniously with the Swedish wood.
