This spacious and airy Bay Area kitchen from Cathie Hong Interiors has a laid back, minimal, indoor-outdoor feel that embodies modern California living. Clean lines, light wood tones, leather accents, polished concrete flooring, contemporary lighting, and industrial-style black metal framed picture windows create a balanced mix of cool and warm tones. This black-and-white kitchen from Becca Interiors has a minimalist feel with its clean lines, sleek flat-front cabinetry, waterfall edge island, and two-tone cabinetry that runs all the way up to the ceiling. As an alternative to a double island, consider filling your kitchen with an extra-long island. There’s plenty of room for seating and working in this modern kitchen by Design Alchemy. Note the rounded white pendant lights with a gold interior, tall wooden cabinetry, and gorgeous marble backsplash with beige veining.
This moody green hue is so good, a minimal backsplash is all you need to tie the space together. Regardless of your design style or layout, kitchen walls are almost always reserved for cabinetry or open shelves. Rarely do we see a kitchen with open wall space, like this space, but we’re loving how open it looks.
Downsizing with Style – Small Kitchens That Make a Statement
You would be surprised what you can make work – use a chest of drawers to store pans, an old shelving unit for cookbooks, or a console table for your best crockery. You can make a kitchen island even more of a feature in your space by simply tiling it. Check out all the options of Etsy, they even have this exact pattern… Adding pantry storage into your existing kitchen or your new kitchen design is great if you have the space. Not only do pantries look lovely, but they are also really practical if you need plenty of storage and your kitchen cupboards just can’t hack the amount of stuff you have. Modern kitchens feature little luxuries like pot fillers over the range top or dedicated coffee stations like this one from Marie Flanigan Interiors that is hidden in a built-in wall of cabinetry.
