It’s okay to buck tradition – and for some homeowners, this means trading their classic kitchen for a more streamlined and modern look. Contemporary kitchen design has been around for a long time, evolving into something almost as timeless as a black-and-white kitchen. And getting the look is easy! DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of West Collin County, a premier home renovator in the area, shares some of the essentials that make for a contemporary kitchen.
- Engineered materials. Steel, concrete, glass, laminate and other manmade materials developed in the 19th and 20th centuries take center stage in contemporary kitchens. They contribute to its crisp, industrial look, but can also make your kitchen look too cold and impersonal. For this reason, try to incorporate a few natural touches, such as wood and stone, into the room. These materials can make a huge difference in the overall vibe of your contemporary kitchen, making it warmer and more inviting.
- Neutral palette. Contemporary kitchens are recognizable by their simple lines, open layout and access to natural light. To get the look, you’ll need to pick the right colors for your space. The safest choice is, of course, white. It can give your kitchen a clean, more spacious look by allowing light to reflect throughout the space effectively. To add depth to the room, make sure to use different shades of white, or match it with other neutral colors like gray, taupe, beige and brown. You can anchor the space by picking a darker hue for the floors. If these aren’t enough, you can pepper the room with pops of vibrant color. For the best combinations, consult a reliable kitchen remodeler like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of West Collin County.
- Simple cabinetry and lighting. Visual clutter has no place in a contemporary kitchen. That’s why cabinets are free of embellishments, with the preferred door design being slab. Cabinets are paired with simple hardware in metallic finishes such as gold, chrome and polished nickel. The same goes for lighting, which is generally recessed or track, with a few pendants in the appropriate metallic finish. “Less is more” is the way to go in a contemporary kitchen.
