I agree that voile rollers will give you privacy and still look modern, and Romans on top will give you blackout and bring colour to the room. We got voile rollers at the front as we are overlooked and they are brilliant.

Lovely big windows! As others have suggested lightweight light coloured curtains wouldn't have the bulk of thick curtains, so wouldn't take up too much space on each side but they would help frame the windows. They would also still let some light in. If you had white or another light colour they would bring further brightness into the room. But you might only want them either side of the window. Also thought these examples of bay windows with roman blinds and simple curtains, still letting light in as the roman blinds could be in a voile like material or a neutral colour. That way you close off where privacy is needed and then have everything open the rest of the time. Hope that helps.

I apologise if you’ve done this already but if you look on the Houzz photos section and select kitchens and then under area select “all Denmark” you will see lots of beautiful kitchens that I think capture the look you are trying to achieve. I’m going to have to agree with Jonathan and Sonia that very few of them are navy or grey. The Scandinavian look is about lightness and natural materials and so wood and white feature very strongly. I think that wood gives great warmth and interest in a kitchen and it is certainly on the way back but you can only really have wooden floor and units if there is a substantial difference in the colour tone. E.g a darker wood unit with a paler wood floor. Combined with white, it could look very timeless. If you did opt for a wood floor and some (maybe not all) white units, you could then go a bit darker with your worktops. Happy browsing!

Hi Aisling There is a lot of good advice here and the only thing I would add is that when I re-did my kitchen I asked myself a couple of basic questions; the first being did I intend to stay in the house - in my case the answer was yes, the second question was how often was I going to 'do' the kitchen. Given the expense, enviromental considerations etc I estimated I wanted my kitchen to last 15/20 years. With this in mind I had to decide if a two tone kitchen would date and simply look mis-matched in 5 years time as trends moved on. For me the choice was simply I decided on one colour, in a classic design and added 'modern'' touches/colour via lighting, handles, tap, applicances i.e. kettle, toaster which are less expensive to change if you want to ring in the changes. Ps. a great place to purchase handles of all sorts is More Handles Limited, they have two showroom where you can browse, an online website and brilliant customer service. Good luck with the re-do.
