Contemporary Kitchens
Contemporary style kitchens are a very popular choice for homeowners around the globe. Sleek and sophisticated, they incorporate modern and trending styles alongside minimalistic and chic appeal. Clean fresh lines, together with stylish focal points, make these kitchens a popular addition to any modern home.
Contemporary-themed kitchens started to come into vogue as more families wanted to integrate the traditional “boxed-in” kitchen design into an expanded entertaining space within the home. Inviting the home cook to become part of the socialisation and allowing the space to become open and functional was the ultimate goal.
The contemporary kitchen boasts an openness and flow, while allowing great space for entertaining and cooking. They showcase a range of modern features and implement different textures and finishes, while incorporating the very best in functionality and modern flare. This kitchen design style is enhanced with trending appliances, sleek finishes, stylish fittings and a fresh, functional layout.
Common Characteristics
This kitchen design is known for its sleekness, symmetry, and modern style. They combine state-of-the-art appliances alongside integrated design and feature floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and push-to-open doors, including clever storage solutions and the latest and greatest kitchen features.
Contemporary kitchens utilise a range of design concepts and a fresh approach to material selection to make a statement within the home. Think polished concrete floors, statement colours, and different textures of wood. Contrasting colours through cabinetry or focal splashbacks set the modern scene while helping to create interesting and flowing focal points.
Storage is very important in a contemporary kitchen. To keep with the sleek lines and flow, kitchen clutter is cleverly hidden behind ample modern cabinetry. If space is no issue; some contemporary-style kitchens also incorporate hidden storage options and a scullery or butler’s pantry, allowing all of your everyday bench clutter to be carefully concealed.
With a contemporary-style kitchen, you can add all the elements you like without having to compromise on functionality. With so many options to choose from, and so many different textures and colours to consider, you can create the modern kitchen of your dreams.
Suitable Homes
The contemporary kitchen design can be adjusted to suit any space. From large sweeping kitchens that can house butler's kitchens and large sleek island benchtops to smaller abodes that need clever storage solutions for maximum functionality, there is a design concept to suit any space.
When it comes to contemporary kitchens, they are best suited to modern homes. Traditional homes and federation-type builds do not typically suit this style unless the entire home also boasts a modern flair and concept. This design is all about flow, seamless design, and chic appeal, making them a great option for many homes around Australia.
Choosing a contemporary kitchen style will add value and appeal to your modern home. They are stylish while staying incredibly practical and functional. With clean fresh lines, they provide a visual focal point to your home, while remaining warm and inviting. Adding a splash of wood and natural textures can allow these spaces to come to life. Clean, clutter-free, and simply breath-taking – it is no wonder these masterful creations are so popular in large and small kitchen spaces alike.
For sophistication, modern appeal and beauty you simply can’t go past a contemporary style kitchen.
