How can I make my kitchen look modern?
You can start with the cabinet style to make your kitchen look modern. Slab-front cabinets as well as shaker counters promise you a perfect set-up for a modern look. You can keep the flat-front cabinets hardware-free or use lip pull notches that look very contemporary. As for the shakers, you can use black matte, brass, stainless steel, and chrome hardware which are also welcome in modern kitchens.
And you can support this kind of cabinet design with seamless backsplashes such as quartz, marble slab, and glass sheets. This will also save you from the trouble of sealing and worrying about the grout joins. Or better, you can even integrate windows as backsplashes since modern kitchens are based on maximizing natural light and embracing openness and brightness. And to complement them, using modern countertops helps a lot to take the modern look to the next level. At this point, you can utilize quartz, butcher block, marble, and soapstone countertops.
In addition to those, kitchen islands are key in making a statement about the overall style of the kitchen. For example, waterfall islands, cantilevered islands, marble-carved islands, curved-edge units, and two-tiered islands can elevate the kitchen instantly with a modern twist.
Modernize Your Kitchen with Well Thought Details
In modernized kitchens, you can also avoid upper cabinetry and trade it with long linear floating shelves to exhibit sculptural ceramic vases, biomorphic-shaped accessories, and modern abstract paintings. It is one of the best ways to inject a dose of personality into the kitchen.
And when it comes to flooring, recently concrete floor finishes have become very popular. Especially their colored and speckled-finish versions are used commonly in contemporary, modern-industrial, and Scandinavian kitchens. But you can also stick to parquet flooring if you wish.
But apart from those, the easiest way to give your kitchen a modern spin is to change the lighting fixtures, bar stools, and appliances. You can get linear pendants, LED pendants, and tracking spotlights to provide task and accent lighting for the island and peninsula. As for the counter stools, you can get swivel chairs, backless curved stools, and any stool that looks monumental and sculptural. Contemporary kitchens also love high-end appliances, including rounded range hoods that deepen the artistic mood of the kitchen significantly.
