Your kitchen renovations in Oakville / Mississauga are crucial to the overall look of your home, as a clean and fastidious contemporary kitchen can greatly tie your home together. The kitchen is something of a hub or central access point for your entire home, and it’s very important that the layout is cohesive enough not to be distracting, but at the same time distinctive enough that it creates a sense of nurturing or solicitude to all who may work or visit there.
Utilize Up-to-date Furnishings and Appliances
From concept to creation, modern appliances are essential for a contemporary and up-to-date kitchen. Sleek, ultra-modern, and functional contemporary appliances complete the look of your working space. It wouldn’t fit the design sensibility to have a bulky freestanding oven or other appliance, but the idea is to hide or integrate your furnishings and appliances so that the kitchen looks less like a working kitchen and more like a work of art or high fashion. That said, be very cautious not to go too extreme with modern kitchen technology. With the current rate of technological advancements, what was once state of the art can quickly become yesterday’s news. The key is to keep your kitchen ageless, efficient, and purposeful.
Fun with Textures
Contemporary kitchen renovations in Oakville/Mississauga will often come down to how the materials chosen are used, and not what the material is physically. A solid timber island could look boring or traditional, but used well it looks modern, and this is because of the detailing of the island we would provide, and the contrast created in the space remaining.
Texture can be one very crucial element of your kitchen design. In one finished bench surface, the timber would be contrasted with the black stone in varying breadths, adding interest and depth to the overall design.
Contemporary kitchen designs are often minimalist in terms of form and the function it follows. Texture is often used well to create interest in a contemporary kitchen. Texture can be found in applications like cabinetry doors, the finishing counter, the shelving, polished flooring etc. Adding texture will increase the visible and tactile appeal of your modern kitchen.
The Importance of Clean and Open Space is Paramount
The best and most well designed modern kitchen should both look and feel spacious and welcoming. The team at Kitchen and Bath in Oakville/Mississauga will focus to the form and its related function of the kitchen, but also the empty and negative space between furnishings and appliances.
The design of a modern, contemporary kitchen is sleek and uncluttered, allowing its textures and colours to breathe. In many cases, cabinetry is kept to a bare minimum to keep the space open concept. Unobtrusive wall cabinetry and open format islands are a consistent feature of this contemporary and ultra-modern style. Oftentimes, the dining and living space are combined together so that the kitchen itself becomes the fulcrum of the floor plan around which other living spaces revolve.
Creating space and harmony within this stylish but fully functional kitchen is vital and in some cases storage areas may be sacrificed for the greater good. For instance, islands that have a table space incorporated into them implies that the space underneath isn’t used for storage. Building voids and cavities into the design itself is visually striking and artistically bold, and optimizes harmony within this modern look.
