Modern Kitchens

Coming up with modern kitchen ideas isn’t easy when kitchen design isn’t your specialist area. After all:

• What is a modern kitchen?
• What features do modern luxury kitchens contain?
• Are there standard modern kitchen appliances?

While each modern kitchen is different, as long as your kitchen contains a minimalist design, flat slab doors and gadgets, it’s a modern kitchen.

Homeowners commonly come to us with the assumption that white and grey are the only modern kitchen colours. But modern doesn’t have to mean clinical. Indeed, there’s nothing stopping you using charismatic colours, oak cabinets or colourful, modern kitchen backsplashes. Modern kitchens can be as colourful as your personality.

Modern kitchens can contain traditional features like pantries. They just tend to sport a more minimalist style. For instance, you can use classic kitchen doors but not pair them with crown moulding. Similarly, rather than opting for a traditional pantry and larder setup, you might choose sleeker options like our Hathaway pantries and MagnaSpace pull-out larders.

Modern kitchens with islands are impressive and practical. Not only do islands accentuate lines, making spaces look bigger, but they also offer well-needed surface area – perfect for entertaining. Modern ones are paired back to their basic shape. That still leaves you with lots of opportunities for creativity, though. Take, for instance, this fixed Amalfi island or this freestanding Oxwich one.
