20 Best Contemporary Kitchen Ideas

dark kitchen

Contemporary designs do not mean a futuristic look with dramatic architectural elements (although that certainly is an option), but you will see innovative ideas in color palettes, lighting, and appliances, as well as uniquely shaped furniture choices. You will see clean, flat front cabinets combined with earthy, natural stone countertops, light wood floors contrasted with a bold wall color or unexpected backsplash material, or maybe a coffee bar with hidden drawers and appliances. All can be modern, yet still warm and welcoming.

Keeping your kitchen organized feel like a challenge. But staying tidy in style isn’t as difficult as it seems. With the proper shelving, functional storage, and a thought-out plan of attack, your kitchen can transform into a space that is equal parts clutter-free and gorgeous.

Typically kitchens, without the right treatment, can be cold and clinical spaces, but the warmth of the beautiful oak in this kitchen counteracts this. The chalky, but confident wall color helps create a cosy feeling, while the paler units help keep the room light. The fabric shade pendants above the central island have been added to soften the space, and the artwork above the Aga adds character and personality to the space. The overall look is elegant but relaxed – its sociable layout allows for practical family living – something that I am often asked for by my clients.
