A modern kitchen may present a design challenge, but you can still have an amazing space that works for cooking, socializing, and relaxing.
After seeing these brilliant kitchen ideas, you will find nothing but opportunity when planning your own renovation.
I firmly believe that there is always a way to overcome the limitations in a space. With a little deep thought and these kitchen trends, any room can be reinvented to serve as a wonderful hangout spot or a cozy rendezvous.
Luxe Metallic
While materials like stainless steel, chrome, and silver have been kitchen staples for ages, the trend I’m absolutely loving right now is all about warmer metals.
Incorporating copper, bronze, and gold adds such a luxurious feel to the space.
Honestly, a kitchen with a little golden shine is a total showstopper and never fails to look stunning. It just elevates the whole room.
High Efficiency Pull Out Shelves
Current kitchen trends are all about making every tool effective, which means it’s worth investing in better cabinets and pantry shelves.
A modernized kitchen should help you get housework done more efficiently. You can save yourself a ton of kitchen stress by considering this awesome feature.
Modern Traditional Style
Here’s a trend that’s right up my alley. I love the idea of blending modern and traditional design elements, and it’s a very influential look in contemporary kitchens.
You get this ultra-sleek and contemporary vibe that also feels warm and homey, and I expect it will only become more popular in the coming years.
To pull this off, you can use a mix of materials like wood with stainless steel or even wood paired with marble.
Modern Kitchen Flooring
It’s amazing what a difference a new floor can make. It’s expected that high-end and more elaborate kitchen tiles will grow in popularity among households.
Porcelain is another fantastic option for creating amazing flooring. I’m seeing so many new colors, designs, and patterns being introduced to the market.
The picture above really shows how much of a role kitchen flooring plays in making a beautiful cooking area. It really grounds the space.
Industrial Style Lighting
Having a well-lit kitchen is so important when you’re performing culinary techniques on your dishes.
I’ve found that industrial-style lighting gives you high visibility in the evenings and it stays on trend for contemporary kitchen renovations.
To get this masculine style, think about materials like black steel, stainless steel, old-fashioned light bulbs, brass, and industrial hardware. It adds so much character.
Vertical Drawers
If you want to experience something new, why not switch from standard cabinets to vertical drawers?
There’s no rule that says homeowners can only build horizontal drawers, so you could try this fresh and space-savvy solution.
I love how these tall drawers don’t waste a single inch of space and can occupy the most unusual places in your kitchen. It’s a super smart way to maximize storage.
Bold Colour and Fixtures
You know I’m a big fan of drama in design! Using bold features is a great way to create a sense of excitement and luxurious drama in any room, and it has a fabulous effect in the kitchen.
Why not think about painting the cabinets in a bold shade? You could also incorporate larger light fixtures with colorful fabric to create a strong focal point. A little boldness goes a long way.
Floating Kitchen Ceiling
You may not initially think to look up, but some stunning kitchens will really make you do just that. This striking kitchen below was designed by Hardcastle.
The cabinets, wooden flooring, the row of clerestory windows, and the walls have all been cleverly positioned to create the illusion of a floating kitchen ceiling.
It’s such an unexpected and creative detail.
