About The Modern Kitchen Style
An important element of a modern kitchen is for the design to suit and adapt to the practical needs of the user. Ample storage that is thoughtfully placed to facilitate everyday efficiency while not compromising on the sleek aesthetic. Intentionally designed around you, we can create a kitchen that entertains, that serves, that prospers.
Simple and effective storage solutions make modern kitchen designs the perfect choice for open concept living spaces where cluttered benchtops are transformed into clean, inviting surfaces. Your designer can incorporate the storage elements for life to flow seamlessly, so you can focus on what life is all about–living.
Modern Style Colour Palette & Design Choices
Many modern kitchens lean into eye-catching palettes with monochromatic tones. Imagine crisp-white spaces that evolve with you, or rich, darker spaces of black or charcoal with a never-fading charm. Imagine timber elements in the flooring or feature shelving simultaneously add a warm, organic feeling into the room. Thanks to this intentional use of reliably neutral tones and colours, modern kitchens retain their relevance for a long time and resist the tendency to date like so many trending colours and themes.
Defining Features
Modern kitchen designs are known for their sleek lines, recessed finger pulls and push to open technology make this possible without impairing functionality. Large windows are often highlighted in modern spaces allowing light to stream in and make the open plan style of the space even larger.
Cabinetry
Laminates are a great choice for many modern kitchen designs, as they are hard wearing and come in a variety of finishes including timber textures and ultra matt, anti-fingerprint options. Soft close hardware is a must for every modern kitchen and a clean aesthetic is often achieved by including additional drawer storage behind cabinet doors or even inside tall drawer fronts
Benchtops & Splashbacks
While laminate, stone, timber, porcelain and stainless steel finishes can all feel at home in luxury modern kitchen designs, the key is in selecting a sharp colour. Concrete like tones, crisp white stone or smooth stainless steel all give a cool modern feel to the space. Steering away from overly patterned or veined marble can be a clear direction to a modern kitchen. However incorporating some warm timber can breathe life into an otherwise harsh space.
Appliances & Sanitaryware
Top of the line technology built into the appliances is the way to go for our modern kitchen design lovers, paired with a black or stainless steel exteriors for sleekness. Induction cooktops, integrated rangehoods and undermount sinks are all popular selections for modern kitchens for their form and function.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should a modern kitchen look?
The modern kitchen embraces subtlety and surprise in its design, being minimalist without lacking in anything. It combines discreet–if not invisible–handles with soft-close inner drawers tucked behind solid tones and sleek lines.
How do you make an outdated kitchen look modern?
An outdated kitchen can always benefit by replacing the benchtops and cabinet faces with clean, sleek materials, though many are surprised how cost-effective and advantageous ripping out and reconstructing the space can be over surface-level changes and hours upon hours of labour working on restoring the bones of an older kitchen.
What countertops never go out of style?
Lightly-patterned engineered stone countertops will stand the test of time, as they remain an inviting focal point for the whole kitchen without detracting anything from the character around. This material will harmonise so effortlessly with any element we feature elsewhere in the space.
What colour kitchens are timeless?
So often, a modern kitchen will use a black, white or timber as its base. Then, we can either pair them together to create a powerful combination, or with another solid colour or tone to feature a more unique charm. The modern kitchen celebrates the details; details that work together to create a kitchen greater than the sum of its parts.
How do you layout a perfect kitchen?
The perfect kitchen will always be the perfect kitchen for you and your lifestyle. Do you like to entertain? Do you need a family space for nights scratching our heads over homework, or slow Sunday morning brunch? The perfect kitchen will tailor its storage solutions to you, and create an inviting space that serves you every single day.
