“Contemporary Modern Kitchens encompass modern elements with a smooth feel. Traditional designs are encased in neutral lines, bold colors, and unique accents. These spaces often display an open concept from the feel of the room to the opening shelving storage. Walking into a contemporary modern kitchen gives the audience a clean yet homey feel without all the clutter. Below are five must-haves to create your contemporary modern kitchen. ”
Unique Island Centerpiece
The island of the kitchen should be an accented centerpiece. Some ways to accomplish a unique island is the addition of waterfall countertops, a contrasting bold cabinet color, or a hidden backsplash interior just below the bar stools.
Lighting Accents
It’s the lighting that brings the final touches all together. A unique lighting piece serves as the perfect conceptual element. Lighting can entirely change the feel of the room based on the style you choose. It is just as important as the furniture and paints color selections. Popular lighting elements include simplistic pendants and modern chandeliers.
Open Shelving
Open shelving has a long history in the American Kitchen. Its design was created for easy access with a decorative element. American kitchens were assembled piece by piece while adding additional storage as needed. Open shelving is not only a great storage option but also serves as a decorative showpiece to display anything from spices to glassware.
Unique Cabinet Colors with Modern Hardware
Newsflash - The 90’s style colored cabinets are coming back in new, fresh, and muted tones. Remember Monica’s blue kitchen from the sitcom Friends? Well, it’s like that but even better. There is nothing like a bold cabinet color to change the entire feeling of a space. Popular cabinet colors range from bold blues, soft sage greens, deep sea teal shades. Modern hardware in brass, gold, or matte black adds the final touches to create your dream storage space.
Butler Pantry
Butler Pantries were originally used to store and display fine china and antique silver. Nowadays, these pantries serve as a supersized version of a walk-in pantry. They are the ideal space for food prep featuring countertops, open shelves, cabinets, and a sink. They are a must-have for designing the kitchen space of your dreams.
