Designer Kata Walters Shares Her Scandinavian-Inspired Kitchen Secrets

At CabinetNow, we take pride in helping customers bring their vision to life—and few do it with more heart and style than Kata Walters, owner and operator of Hinuera Properties. A powerhouse in the real estate and design space, Kata has carved a name for herself through her ability to blend function, form, and feeling.

Since 2016, Kata has worn many hats—landlord, self-manager, house flipper, and now a full-fledged developer. But it’s her creative eye and personal investment in every project that truly set her apart. Kata chooses her projects carefully and pours intention into every detail. For her, every home is more than just a structure—it’s a canvas.

Kata Walters’ Scandinavian Kitchen Design Collection 

Kata’s design approach is bold yet balanced, often pulling inspiration from minimal, modern aesthetics with a Scandinavian twist. Clean lines, light-filled spaces, and natural materials are a hallmark of her style—but she’s not afraid to mix textures or tones to bring warmth and soul to the spaces she creates.

That’s what made CabinetNow’s Modern Thermofoil Turino cabinet doors a perfect fit for her kitchens. The sleek slab styling and durable thermofoil finish offer the crisp, streamlined look she gravitates toward, while the broad selection of finishes gives her the creative freedom to bring her unique vision to life.

The Fusion Maple + Stratus SuperMatte

In one of her latest projects, Kata designed a Scandinavian-inspired kitchen that feels both modern and inviting. She combined two CabinetNow finishes—Fusion Maple and Stratus SuperMatte—for a dynamic, dual-tone look.

• Fusion Maple brings in soft, woodgrain warmth that echoes Scandinavian nature-driven design.
  
  
• Stratus SuperMatte, with its smooth, matte finish and cool tone, creates striking contrast while keeping things grounded.

The pairing results in a kitchen that feels open, airy, and elevated. The modern slab profile of the Turino cabinet doors enhances the clean lines of the layout, while minimalist hardware completes the look.

This space reflects Kata’s ability to blend efficiency with emotion—offering tenants or homeowners something that’s not only functional but truly beautiful.

Mid-Century: Pairing Dolce Vita with Stratus SuperMatte

Before this Scandinavian build, Kata completed another memorable kitchen with CabinetNow products—this time channeling a mid-century modern aesthetic. Clean lines, warm wood tones, and moody contrasts defined the space. She once again turned to our same Modern Thermofoil Turino door style but opted for a deeper palette: Dolce Vita paired with Stratus SuperMatte.

• Dolce Vita offers rich woodgrain detail and a darker hue, adding drama and depth.
  
  
• Paired again with Stratus SuperMatte, the kitchen maintained Kata’s signature clean aesthetic while adding a bold, high-end feel.

This previous project highlighted just how versatile the Turino door style can be. Whether in lighter tones for soft Scandinavian charm or deeper tones for moody elegance, the consistent element is Kata’s attention to detail and clear vision.

When asked why she returns to CabinetNow for multiple projects, Kata cited the quality, customization, and modern styles we offer.

“The Turino doors have become one of my go-to choices. The finishes are beautiful, the quality is consistent, and I can always find a combination that fits the unique personality of each project,” she shared.
