20 Minimalist Kitchens: Embracing Simplicity

20 Minimalist Kitchens: Embracing Simplicity

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s fairly impossible to keep it clean let alone minimalist! However, when we say minimalist, that doesn’t mean it should be bare!

You still need your plates, pots, and pans, but how you store them is what makes all the difference! Instead of a Morrocan tile, go for a simple smooth one!

The trick is to go for anything sleek and not too detailed!

Let’s dive into the world of minimalism and discover how you can turn your kitchen into a peaceful cooking zone!

1. Monochrome All the Way

If there’s anything more minimalist it’s the monochrome palette! Choose any color of your liking and stick with it throughout your space!

2. Matching Island and Backsplash!

Just because you have a minimalist kitchen, doesn’t mean it should be boring! Add more interest with a marble island and the same backsplash!

3. Choose a Bold Color

Your cabinets, decor, and overall vibe of the kitchen can be minimalistic, but if you want to add to it just a little bit of something, go for a bolder color!

4. Make a Statement

Since minimalist kitchens aren’t too decorated, every piece you choose has to be a statement piece so that your kitchen doesn’t look sterile!

5. Add a Breakfast Nook

Adding a breakfast nook won’t make your minimalist kitchen less minimalist! Choose a table and chair that fit your vibe and color scheme and you’ll have a perfectly stylish and functional space!

6. Hide the Hood

A hood is an essential part of a kitchen but bless them, they can look terrible! Hide your unit under your cabinets or create a custom hood!

7. All Eyes on the Sink

Place your sink into a central position on your island or countertop! This way you’ll have plenty of space around it and it centers the room!

8. Hide the Appliances

Opting to hide your whole kitchen and the appliances is another level of commitment to minimalism!

9. Opt for a Big Island

If you have the space, go for a large island, because it makes the room feel modern, sleek, and full at the same time, without appearing as too much!

10. Integrated Appliances

Go for integrated appliances if you want to achieve a sleek look with the same functionality!

11. Choose Sleek Appliances

If you’re not able to hide your appliances altogether, opt for sleek ones that may appear seamless on your countertop!

12. Hardware Goodbye!

Say goodbye to hardware and say hello to invisible hardware or push cabinets! Visible hardware can make your space look distracting and overwhelming!

13. Rich Colors

If you want the space to look more sophisticated and less hospital, go for rich colors and tones that will warm up your kitchen!

14. Contrast It!

A minimalistic kitchen is always one wrong step away from looking boring, so I would suggest using contrasting colors and materials to make it more interesting!

15. All-White Kitchen

White is a staple for minimalist kitchens and it will make any space look clean and sleek!

16. Open Shelving

Open shelving looks sleek and minimalistic when it’s not over-cluttered! These shelves give this kitchen an open and airy feeling!

17. Modern Industrial

Combine modern sleek cabinets with the industrial materials and color scheme and you’ll have a win on your hands!

18. Eliminate Wall Plugs

To create a sleek and stylish look, wall plugs must be eliminated! Opt for ones that can be installed into cabinets and leave your walls clean and bare, or opt for a window as in the picture!

19. All-Black Kitchen

Same as the all-white kitchen, black will make your space look sleek and sophisticated and most importantly, minimalist!

20. Prioritize Natural Light

If this is possible, prioritize letting in as much natural light as possible! This kitchen has an island in the center, which makes it possible to appreciate the entire kitchen!
