Many people love having a contemporary kitchen in their home. We blame it on our architects who with their designs, create ultra modern living spaces at a pace that we can't keep up with.
Lets have a look at some of the designs in a modern kitchen today:
The buzz word in the designer circles is minimalist, creating a kitchen that has no space for unwanted clutter. Their designs include patterns which are geometric and one-dimensional to give us a smooth sleek and uninterrupted look. There is no objects that will protrude or catch the eye so to speak. What you see when you walk into this type of kitchen is one solid canvas.
The furniture and storage units which compliments this type of kitchen, is also designed with smooth surfaces in wood or in stainless steel. No external handles will protrude and the doors will be accessed with push and release mechanisms.
You cannot have too many colors in this kitchen, but if you do want some color, place a transparent glass vase somewhere that will catch the eye immediately. Here even your flowers should have a minimalist look. Choose long stemmed ones and only concentrate on one color at a time.
Lighting has also evolved with modern day kitchens. You could accentuate your room by using soft lighting in different shades of pastels. Again most of your lighting would be recessed to get that sleek uninterrupted look. Do remember that you need bright lighting where you prepare your meals.
Flooring is important. It is very acceptable nowadays to have a plain concrete floor treated with a strong and durable varnish and accentuated with a sparsely used one-dimensional pattern. Should your kitchen be small, break through a wall and let your kitchen breath. Take this same look into the next room and you will be surprise at the new found space you have in your kitchen.
A contemporary kitchen is not doubt the way forward as it is also low maintenance and totally practical - together with and an atmosphere of opulence, elegance and intelligence. - 30289
