Kitchen Design Ideas & Inspiration

Statement lighting and bright white walls open up to a sunroom, letting natural light flood the contemporary kitchen. Whitewashed wood cabinets lend warmth to this Scandi-inspired space, subbing in for stark white cabinetry. Mixed with the warm tones of the wood floor and a colorful vintage rug, this Scandinavian kitchen is bright, airy, and prepped for guests with a beverage fridge and plenty of prep surfaces.

KITCHENS DESIGN

This design looks sleek, without being boring, thanks to the many textures from the backsplash to the stools, and caning on the upper cabinet doors. This kitchen unapologetically boasts French country charm courtesy of the stone veneer, candelabra-style chandelier, antique-inspired stove hood, and cabinetry details. If you have a theme in mind, stick to it from the wall treatments to the appliances. Straight out of your vintage dreams, this kitchen incorporates vintage pieces, like the tile and midcentury pendant, with influences of yesteryear, like the avocado-green cabinets. The kitchen features bright blue units that contrast with shiny gold backsplashes and slender handles on the tall cabinets.

Creating your design

You have to make practical choices in your kitchen – something that is hardwearing and easy to clean. That means hard flooring is the best option – wood flooring, vinyl, tiles, and so on. Herringbone flooring is very on trend at the moment, and it adds a subtle hint of pattern, which we like. If you are looking for a budget-friendly way to get this look, they are loads of really authentic-looking vinyl options our there that will achieve a very similar look. Use soft nature-inspired colors to freshen up a small modern kitchen.

A minimalist kitchen can also make unique accessories stand out, as with the unique kitchen stools and the fancy kitchen island lighting in this space. A good minimalist kitchen design maximizes the space available, as evidenced in this simple, wood kitchen. In this simple design, bits of color in the way of natural wood, yellow, and red manage to shine through.
