Modern features for your kitchen

Neutral color palette Neutral tones and textures keep a kitchen warm and inviting and allow feature elements to shine.

Natural or soft light: Natural light is ideal, so incorporating glass doors or windows can add an open-air feeling to your space. If natural light is inadequate, light fixtures with dimmable bulbs can create a softly lit environment while strategically placed spot lighting is ideal for the main work areas.

Clean cabinetry: Keep your countertops clutter-free with sleek custom cabinetry to conceal your coffee maker and other appliances. Modern kitchen accessories such as creative cabinet hardware will add a distinctive flair to your modernised space.

FAQ

What are examples of modern kitchen technology that I can incorporate?

Equip your kitchen with touchless faucets for germ-free cleanup; smart ovens, induction cook tops and refrigerators that can be remote controlled with your phone ; even a smart coffee maker for your personalised blend to start the day.

How can I get creative with lighting?

The island is the focal point of your kitchen. And in a modern kitchen, island lighting sets the tone for your kitchen’s overall look and feel. While modern design prioritizes natural lighting, sculptural light fixtures above your island or dining table create a beautiful and subtle impact.

Can I create a modern kitchen while keeping certain elements of my current kitchen?

Of course! There is no need to reinvent the wheel here. Instead of redoing your entire kitchen, start by choosing a few things you want to contemporize for a modern look. Your Renovation Consultant has connections with tradespeople who can incorporate beloved elements, like cabinets or ceiling features, into your remodelled kitchen’s fresh look.
