Minimalism is the ideal design trend for the kitchen, where cleanliness, organization, and functionality are the holy trinity. It allows for clear, clutter-free surfaces and sleek and stylish materials. And minimalism definitely doesn’t have to look unfinished or boring. With the right approach, minimalist kitchens will still be full of personality and style.
By definition, minimal spaces call for a de-cluttered aesthetic. Yet, a kitchen is probably the one room that is as messy as can be.
Unless of course, you have designed it in the most functional manner, in order to make it work harder for you. And a good way going about that is by making best usage of all available space, while keeping it neat and user friendly.
A kitchen island is another great feature to consider in the design. It serves as a multi-purpose piece, but its functionality is dependent upon its size, position and placement.
Usually, minimalist kitchens follow a linear design layout, so the island is no different. Moreover, they may have a monolithic appearance with hidden handles and commodities, endorsing that minimal clean line look.
In order to avoid that stark feeling that may be brought on by a minimal aesthetic, aim to use natural materials in your kitchen design i.e. wood and/or limestone. A smart solution could be to use veined marble, a favorite, natural material that can easily disguise cooking spills and stains.
Moreover, consider using a neutral color palette. It is a super safe way to keep your stylish minimal kitchen from looking dated. Hence, you won’t have to keep updating it. Besides, it’s far easier to add on bold, bright, vivid colors as pops of colors via décor, plants, and fresh flowers.
In overall, the best minimal kitchen design is the one that works hardest for you. It should cater to your lifestyle needs, be easy to clean and tidy, while it looks sleek and smart. Obviously, it must also make it easy for you to prep food for yourself and your loved ones. But then again, that’s true for any well designed kitchen.
