Practical Design Ideas For Contemporary Kitchens

Be A Show Off

Show off your appliances with an unusual extractor hood. This design looks like something from a futuristic space pod and we love it! In matt white lacquer, it’s designed by the same team who created the kitchen. Schiffini’s Mesa kitchen and extractor, DesignSpaceLondon.

Huge islands really come into their own in an open plan space. They can be used for practically everything, from chopping veg on the granite top to cooking on the built-in hob and washing up in the integral sink. Think carefully about what you’d find most useful then ask your kitchen supplier to fit it in.

Modern With A Period Feel

Oak kitchens don’t have to equal traditional cabinets. For a modern twist, think freestanding units and open shelving. Sonoma kitchen, Marks & Spencer.

Make It Match

Attention to detail is everything in this kitchen with matching fuchsia pink splashback, cabinets, cushions and even placemats, too. The contrast works perfectly with the walnut furniture. Walnut & Silver kitchen, Smallbone of Devizes.

Fit A Curved Island

Take the curvy trend to its ultimate conclusion with a show-stopping curved island unit. Mixing materials is also the done thing these days so use wenge cabinets topped with ivory quartz worksurfaces for maximum impact. Peninsular curve, Metris.

Build In Appliances

Appliances should be built-in for a sleek, seamless look. If you love entertaining at home, treat your guests to a chilled bottle of bubbly from your very own wine cellar. Wine storage with refrigerator drawers, Sub-Zero.

Choose Steel For Modern Looks

Stainless steel looks enduringly modern and can be very inexpensive, especially if you choose freestanding pieces. Dacke range, Ikea.

Modern Kitchen Color Scheme: Orange Kitchen Cabinets

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:46:01 +0000

Color is an important consideration in kitchen design since it influences our moods. A good combination of kitchen colors in the scheme of your decoration can make your kitchen look livelier and more appealing.

Orange radiates fun, flamboyance and energy. Orange is considered to be an extreme colour and sometimes tend to evoke a ‘love it’ or ‘hate it’ attitude from people. Orange, like red, is also said to be appetizing. Scroll down to see orange colored kitchens from some of Europe’s top kitchen makers.

A kitchen should primarily be painted in shades of yellow, orange, cream or even beige. Apart from choosing the correct shade for the walls, the lighting of the kitchen also plays an important role in creating positive energy.
