When redesigning a kitchen, it is tempting to add every new feature you can think of to ensure the kitchen looks and feels as modern as possible. Although it is ok for you to do this, the kitchen might end up being too busy and this is why a lot of people prefer a minimalist look and feel. In this article, we will explore some minimalist kitchen designs that you can incorporate into your kitchen during your next redesign.
Monochrome Palette
A monochromatic palette gives your kitchen a sophisticated look without having to work too hard. Start by choosing one base color and then two or three colors that are close to the base color but that are shifted slightly in their hue and brightness. This gives you a monochromatic look while still providing some contrast although you are largely using similar colors.
For a better look, you can also remove non-essential appliances from the countertops and stow them away. This way, the eyes will focus on the beautiful walls, countertops, and colors instead of being distracted by your appliances.
Use Popup Plugs
Electrical plugs can run the continuity of your countertops and backsplash surfaces. Using pop-up plugs helps eliminate this problem, leaving you with a sleek and clean look. If you can, try to have the plugs inside the cabinets and the wiring routed in a neat manner to keep the illusion going.
Matching Countertop and Backsplash
Having a minimalist design does not mean leaving out certain elements but instead means using the right amount if. This certainly applies to using matching the granite on your backsplash to that on your countertop. Doing so introduces a waterfall and seamless effect that makes it seem like your backsplash and countertop are a single piece. For the effect to be believable, it is important that the material used for the backsplash and countertop match. Talking to a business like World Stone Group that focuses on granite and quartz products should lead to the material you need to pull off this effect.
Make Everything White
For an ultra-minimalistic look, you can make everything white. This includes the walls, cabinets, and countertops. Just ensure that the paint and surfaces you use can be cleaned easily especially if you have kids.
The Kitchen Island
There is so much you can do with the kitchen island but one trend that is gaining popularity is using an extra-large top for the island. This gives the illusion of the island floating midair, which gives your kitchen a sophisticated, minimalist look.
Once you have the island set up this way, you can add colorful chairs to add some colors to the kitchen. In keeping with the minimalistic spirit, ensure the chairs’ color does not clash with the other colors used in the kitchen.
Use Integrated Appliances
Integrated appliances might cost a little more but the effect is breathtaking. These appliances should be integrated with the cabinetry in the kitchen to create a modern look. Doing it this way also makes the kitchen look a lot cleaner and streamline because everything works with everything else.
A minimalist kitchen is a great option for those who would like a clean, modern look. Because achieving such a look might be expensive, it is best to undertake the necessary changes when doing your next kitchen redesign.
