Modern kitchen design styles are often misunderstood for stark, cold and functional spaces. However, the soul of the idea of modernism isn’t functionality, but clean, open, calming spaces painted in the personality of the owner. On contrary to the stereotypical black and white modern kitchen design, we here at Creatalog bring to you an assortment of pretty, fun and lively variations of the modern interior design style for you to experiment with and apply to your beautiful kitchen.
1. Experiment with Different Glossy Colors
Modernist design style trends generally gravitate towards whites, blacks and steel, each heavy on the gloss. However, deviation from this towards glossy golds, silvers or even rich reds will bring about a sense of elegance, grandiose and even flamboyance, if you brave it.
2. Let the light pour in
Simplicity and neat, well defined lines are the cornerstone of any good modern design kitchen interior. However, lack of natural and artificial lighting severely impedes the appeal. To avoid this, make sure your windows are big, well situated and as transparent (minimal light obstruction) as possible.
3. Bring warmth through controlled contrast
As tempting as it might be to design in trendy complete black and white, when going for a contrasting theme try using warm chocolate browns instead of black. Warmer shades, especially with marble or granite textures, create a more welcoming and intimate setting. This covers up a weakness in modern design styles, where sometimes they feel too steadfast and intimidating.
4. Sprinkle your kitchen with some playfulness
We spend a majority of our time at home, so why not make it fun? Decorate your beautiful kitchen with playful matte shades of primary colors. Go for geometric designs of red, blue, yellow, green and other playful colors to make your beautiful kitchen feel lively and fun.
5. Make your extended living room into an invisible kitchen
Cover your entire kitchen interior in a uniform shade of white. Everything, including walls, doors, appliances, cabinets, counters and countertops. This way, when your kitchen is not in use, it will blend softly into the background while you enjoy an open, peaceful dining space.
6. Bring warmth and peace through light wood texture
Light, warm wooden textures on your cabinets and counters will bring a sense of warmth and comfort in your beautiful kitchen interior. Light wooden designs blend perfectly into the openness and tranquility of a modernist interior to create a zen aesthetic - a simple trend to bring peace in our busy lives.
7. Experiment with Asymmetry
Asymmetrical design styles can be applied quite freely in a kitchen following the modernist trend. Replace half of your cabinets with shelves or hanging storage, experiment with contrasting colors to both sides of your kitchen, etc. Asymmetry is one of the few things that doesn’t break the modernist ideal of clean, clear lines while at the same time making a place feel more family-friendly and lived-in.
