Bring out the dust sheets for your laminate kitchen worktops and find your paintbrushes, it’s time to bring new life into your kitchen! Nothing looks fresher than a dash of contemporary style, keeping your look up-to-date and creating a clean, stylish space. But knowing that you want a modern renovation and actually coming up with design ideas are two very different things.
If you’re struggling for style inspiration, our team at Savoy Timber are here to help. We’ve put together some of our favourite contemporary kitchen designs to get your project started. Who knows where these ideas will take you?
When you’re dreaming of a contemporary kitchen, it’s good to know what that aesthetic actually looks like. In essence, contemporary kitchens are all about minimal, sleek design, stylish colouring, and practical features that enhance your lifestyle and the function of the space. If you’re not clear on your vision, try putting together a mood board of looks you like and get to grips with your ideal design vibe.
If your kitchen island is looking a little shabby and dated, a quick fix is to tile the side surface. Use laminate tiling to cover wear and tear, update your look, and still keep your sides easy to clean. Some contemporary kitchens suit patterned tiling, creating a central design feature of your island, but you can just as easily get the modern look with an all-over bold colour.
Monochrome is the contemporary colour-scheme choice of the moment. In a kitchen, monochrome designs work really well as a blank canvas that you can build on, too, adding splashes of colour with your appliances and decor. You can also add more interest to a monochrome colour scheme by incorporating patterns into your designs, such as on your kitchen backsplash or your floor tiles.
Even if your colour palette is on the darker side, lighting is an incredibly important part of modern kitchen design. A light, bright space is both practical and adds to the contemporary feel of a design for a spacious, open setting. Incorporate central overhead lighting, whether that be pendant lights or spotlights, as well as spotlights or striplights beneath your cabinetry to illuminate your workspace.
Contemporary cabinets are clean and simple. Many interior decorators opt to remove handles completely for an ultra-minimal look with push-to-open doors for that sleek-chic vibe. If you don’t want to replace your cabinets, a quick coat of paint can go a long way, with black doors and dark wood finishes ideal for an upscale look – just remember to focus on your lighting to brighten up your space.
Sprucing up your kitchen doesn’t have to be complicated. A quick switch of your colour palette and upgrading your lighting could be all you need for a more modern look. Don’t forget, too, that our experts at Savoy Timber are always ready to help with your interior design projects. Whether you’re looking for laminate kitchen worktops or monochrome edging strips, get in touch with our friendly team at 0333 272 7985 and we’ll make your refurbishment easy.
