Kakelugn is a clean, Nordic light blue with gentle clarity
Kakelugn is a fresher take on Light Blue, with a cool, crisp undertone inspired by Scandinavian tiled stoves. It reads airy and calm rather than powdery, making it a great alternative to standard pale blues.
Pair it with warm whites like Slipper Satin or cooler neutrals such as Blackened depending on how crisp you want the room to feel.
Best rooms for Kakelugn
