Wood
Natural wood brings warmth into contemporary minimalist kitchens. Whether you choose dark mahogany or lighter ash option, avoid a rustic finish where you can. Varnished or painted wood add a sleek and streamlined feel.
Minimalist Kitchen Ideas Buying Guide
Bring together simple style and elegant aesthetics
Minimalist kitchens bring together simple style and elegant aesthetics. With a focus on pared-down design, clean lines, and an airy ambience, they are the perfect choice for those that love contemporary design.
If you are planning a kitchen renovation project, we’ve put together a range of minimalist kitchen ideas to help you achieve a beautiful space. From how to choose the right materials to accessorising your design choices, there are plenty of tips and tricks to help you get started.
Selecting your minimal kitchen accessories
Like with any kitchen design trend, the materials you choose are essential to achieving the ambience you want. Think about the minimalist style you like, as well as the lifestyle requirements of your home. For example, if you enjoy busy family life, durability should be at the top of your list.
Considering the layout of your minimalist kitchen
Whether you have a large space or a compact kitchen, your layout is always an important consideration. Minimalist kitchens often favour space and an uncluttered feel, which is why you should prioritise innovative storage and multifunctional furniture. It’s also a good idea to think about your lifestyle requirements. Whether you love hosting dinners or want plenty of space for family, your social needs will dictate your choices (along with the amount of space you have available).
With this in mind, you may want to consider including:
- A kitchen island
- Breakfast bar
- Dining table and chairs
- Moveable trolleys
- Plenty of innovative storage
If you’re planning a small space, keep your countertops and floor clear with smart storage ideas and multifunctional furniture. These can help you achieve an uncluttered look.
Choosing your minimalist style
Minimalism is all about choosing high-quality materials and items that put clean lines, simplicity, and functionality at the forefront. Avoid fussy or complicated designs in all your choices to help your minimalist kitchen look its best.
