What You Need to Know When Designing a Minimalist Kitchen

Clean, well-organized spaces are known to reduce stress and anxiety. Besides improving your mood, they can also boost your productivity by eliminating clutter that can distract you from your tasks. These are among the many reasons the minimalist design continues to grow in popularity.

Incorporate minimalist elements into the heart of your home using these tips from a trusted kitchen renovation company.

Get Rid of Clutter

Decluttering is one of the first things you must do when creating a minimalist kitchen. It’s an incredibly important step if you have limited storage space. Put away appliances, tools and glassware that you rarely use. Only keep things that can contribute to the efficiency of your daily routine. When it comes to decor, select a few thoughtfully curated items that don’t overwhelm the room.

Select a Neutral Color Palette

Minimalist kitchens tend to shy away from bright and dark colors. If you are designing one, you want to create a color palette of soft neutral hues. Light colors can make a room look more spacious and positively affect your mood. You can add contrast and pops of color through decor, curtains and furniture.

Choose Sleek Cabinetry

You can achieve a minimalist aesthetic by incorporating sleek cabinetry in your kitchen remodel. Recessed and integrated handles are a great option because they aren’t that obvious. If you prefer to have cabinet hardware, choose sleeker options like a simple bar or pull.

Hide Appliances

Often, homeowners place small appliances on countertops for convenience. Unfortunately, these devices can make your kitchen appear cluttered. They can also leave you with limited space for meal prep. To give the room a cleaner look, conceal daily appliances behind cupboards. Aside from making your kitchen look neater, it will free up space in your counters, making cooking and cleaning easier.

Designate a Space for Everything

Each item in your kitchen must have a designated space. Dedicate drawers for small items like silverware and cooking utensils. Keep glassware and food containers in cabinets. Select a convenient location for your frequently used appliances and put seldom-used or large items in cupboards. An experienced contractor can help you design an efficient storage system for the heart of your home.
