The kitchen was the hub of any household as it has quickly been transformed. It needs to be useful, but also pretty, given their expanded function.

Keep things organized with streamlined shapes that are clutter free and highly space efficient. Glass refrigerator doors hold spills well and matte surfaces don’t get dirty as readily as gloss finishes.

Streamlined Designs
Kitchens are a variety of design but modern forms have always been the way to go. They feature functional storage space, modern cabinetry and even design conventions (upgrade upper cabinets to open shelving or use different hardware finishes).

Simple kitchen design will also consist of muted colors. This trend-right method can be especially helpful for contemporary kitchens since it also makes other important details such as ceiling and flooring visible, and it enables home owners to change paint or backsplash tiles at a moments notice.

One-wall kitchens are another good option for a streamline design. All workspaces can be connected on one wall to save corner space and speed up workflow by minimising separation between main work stations. There are also one wall kitchens that give plenty of room for seating – excellent for tiny kitchens!

Simplicity
Simple kitchen design is another case of less is more. When you decide to make room simple in terms of decor and furniture, then by making room it transcends style and becomes purposeful, clear and purposeful.

With slab fronts and minimal hardware, white cabinets are timeless. For this modern look, choose pulls and knobs that do not clutter your clean lines in your cabinets.

— Give your kitchen an accent wall for visual space. The same approach can also make the room appear larger.

Tumbled marble kitchen floor is also a hit this year. Pair it with other tiles or go it alone and you will enjoy the sleek, visually appealing design in any modern or classic kitchen.

L-shaped kitchens are very efficient and preferred, as they are the perfect fit for the working kitchen triangle (fridge, sink, and cooktop are all in a nice triangle). This configuration is for as much storage as possible and allows a quick workflow.

Gray is the New White
Gray kitchens are one that have been a part of kitchen trends for some time, being a good match with both modern and traditional design while still being open and airy. Also, the colour obfuscates fingerprints and scratches better than white, so cleaning is easy.

Think about using light and dark greys for your cabinets, and inject a little colour with a backsplash or countertop that goes well with this color – bespoke Only’s herringbone pattern is a good example of this, but other tones and tints might make it appear ombre.

Grays that can go well with neutrals like black is a great way to get high contrast that doesn’t go out of style quickly. Here, the chrome faucet by House 9 Interiors matches perfectly with the matte black hood for a classic and attractive kitchen that will go well with any décor.

Open Air Shelving
Many renovators opt for cabinetless kitchens due to their clean and affluent look. While full wall shelves are probably a bit bold for some, floating shelves in several different sizes will add extra storage space while keeping the room trendy.

Glass shelves are light, and triangle or full-circle corner shelving makes the most of wasted space. Also, farmhouse style shelves of reclaimed wood.

Open kitchen shelving is tricky, but it is beautiful if you do the design work well. Make a nice tablescape for your heirloom dishes and collectibles by preventing greasey display items from coming close to the stove where they may collect granular grime that is difficult to remove — this way you won’t be able to pull off what looks like a garage sale in your own kitchen! Plus it is so much easier to style when the shelves are in a similar color scheme or symmetrical
