When designing a space that feels serene and functional, many homeowners gravitate towards Scandinavian design for its simplicity and neutral palette. However, there are other interior styles that offer a similar calm and minimalistic vibe without being explicitly Scandinavian.
Here are 4 lesser-known neutral interior styles for your service yard and kitchen.
1. Kanso
Inspired by Japanese Zen philosophy, Kanso emphasizes simplicity and the elimination of clutter. This design approach focuses on clean lines, natural materials, and a harmonious balance between function and aesthetics. Maintain a cohesive look with minimalist cabinetry, open shelving, and soft, neutral colours like beige, cream, and light grey. Add potted plants for a touch of nature and serenity.
Whipping up to 1, 200, 000cm3 of air volume coverage, the Steigen system’s 8-Wind Direction and powerful 33cm BLDC fan motors ensure zero drying blind spots when drying laundry. The strong hot wind reaches vertically down to 1.5m, drying the ends of long dresses or king size bedsheets.
2. Desert Modern
Desert Modern combines the earthy, rugged beauty of desert landscapes with modern design principles. This style embraces a warm, neutral palette, often incorporating shades of terracotta, sand, and stone. Choose materials like matte-finished countertops, rough-hewn wood elements, and ceramics in earthy tones to enhance the desert-inspired ambience.
Replicating outdoor drying conditions, the signature 60ºC Solar Drying technology of our Steigen automated laundry systems will thoroughly dry any laundry swiftly with zero UV rays. Rest at ease while your laundry dries 100% indoors be it rain or shine. And, it even operates remotely via the Steigen Home app.
3. Modern Spanish
Modern Spanish design is a contemporary take on traditional Spanish interiors, characterised by its use of natural materials, warm colours, and ornate details. Blend modern appliances with traditional elements like wooden cabinetry, arched doorways, and terracotta tiles to create a rustic yet elegant space. A colour palette of white, cream, and muted earth tones can maintain a serene and inviting atmosphere.
What tops serenity? Knowing that your clothes are free from odours and dust mites. Exclusively available on Solar Pro, the 2-in-1 Sol Ion™ releases bursts of positive and negative ions to provide odour and dust mite isolation. This feature is simultaneously activated when any drying features are switched on.
4. Tropical Modern
Tropical Modern design merges the lush, vibrant feel of tropical environments with sleek, modern lines. This style is perfect for creating a refreshing and lively laundry area. Use natural materials like teak or bamboo for cabinetry and shelving, and incorporate greenery through hanging plants or potted palms.
Nothing says modern more than ergonomic and customisable designs tailored to suit your needs. From 2m long extendable poles to drop height presets up to 1.3m, the Steigen systems can cater to multiple comfortable heights and various laundry sizes–think king sized bedsheets and big towels! When the system is not in use, the poles are retractable and collapsible, creating more legroom.
