How modern kitchen designs create a space for living

Modern kitchen designs set kitchens free from the confines of four walls and have transformed them from rooms that simply exist for the purpose of cooking food into something much more central to our modern lifestyles.

Even their positioning is changing, with more and more kitchens being located right in the middle of a home’s living spaces, enabling them to become the central point for eating, entertaining, doing homework and relaxing – and as a space that promotes that all-important indoor-outdoor flow.

Some modern kitchen design elements from one of our latest kitchen designs

  • Sleek, simple and uncluttered: The design of modern kitchens is all about creating a sleek, simple and uncluttered livable space that looks and feels spacious while providing all the functionality required – like the kitchen we designed and installed for Becks and Giovanni.
  • Smart storage solutions: A kitchen design that incorporates smart storage solutions will ensure the kitchen functions as it should.
  • Texture and colour: To create interest and increase the visual and tactile appeal of the modern, more minimalistic kitchen, simply add texture and colour. For example, note the texture provided by the shapes of the backsplash tiles and by the grain in the wooden flooring in Becks and Giovanni’s new modern kitchen. Also, the strikingly moody shade of colour applied to the sides and front of the island bench. These texture and colour features work together to take the minimalist look of their modern kitchen to the next level.
  • Organic accents: The organic flourish provided by the warm wood accents in the upper kitchen cabinetry in Becks and Giovanni’s modern kitchen are an elegant foil to the clean and crisp tones of the lower cabinets and work surfaces, and help tie in the cabinets with the flooring too.
  • Island bench: An oversized kitchen island benchtop not only gives you plenty of work and storage space but can also be used in place of the family dining table for relaxed dinners or for social gatherings.
