4 Easy Ways to Design a Chic & Sophisticated Kitchen
Posted: Sep 14, 2017
Unlike fashion trends, a new kitchen must last for years. Your new kitchen will transform the way you live, cook and socialize, so it’s important to design it right to fit your taste and style.
Consider the timeless appeal of the chic and sophisticated modern kitchen that continues to evolve each year, but remains faithful to the principles of function and form.
Let’s take a look at 4 distinguishing ways to achieve a sleek, minimalist design:
- Monochromatic Gloss
Versatility forms the centerpiece of a modern American kitchen, and to incorporate it into your design, it’s important to play with texture and contrast.
We already know that single color white kitchens are the way of the future, but adding a high gloss finish to stainless steel trim can instantly add a classy touch to your monochromatic neutrals.
If you’re looking for something a bit more chic, consider adding black cabinetry, back splashes and kitchen islands to the mix.
- Geometric Lines and Sharp Texture
In the world of kitchen remodeling and design, it really doesn’t get more ultra-modern than minimalist textures.
Don’t be afraid to go avant-garde by using geometric lines and asymmetry to achieve a sharp and sophisticated look.
Progressive L-shaped kitchens are the epitome of modern design. And if you’re looking for a pop of color, consider pairing your white countertops with vertical wood-toned cabinetry.
Remember: Chic and sophisticated kitchens are all about simplicity and functionality. If you choose to play with color combinations, be sure to focus on balance.
- Wood-Toned Cabinetry
Your ultra-chic kitchen can’t possibly be complete without tailoring your cabinetry to punctuate the overall design.
Wood textures have proven time and time again to add a classic touch to contemporary cabinetry, be it off-white granite or any other natural stone.
When complemented by a linear design, deep wood finishes can be luxurious and elegant.
- All-White
This one’s a no-brainer but we’ve added it to our list anyway, because how can you talk about modern kitchen design and not mention white kitchens?
Besides being wonderfully chic and inviting, white kitchens bounce natural light in a way that most other color schemes simply can’t. If you’re looking for something modern and minimalist, white is a tried and true winner—and it pairs fantastically with marble countertops!
