Whether you are doing up a whole new kitchen or looking to refresh a tired looking one, a modern kitchen design combines many components, from the layout, cabinetry, and finishes to appliance choices.
2020 was the year where “living kitchen” truly came to life, bringing together practicality, aesthetic, and technology to make life somewhat easier, but what will our future kitchens look like? In this blog, we walk you through 7 modern kitchen ideas for your next renovation.
Rough Stone Splashback & Wooden Touches
Assimilating natural elements such as stone and wood into a kitchen design has always been a go-to. Pairing natural elements with a white minimalist theme is not only stylish, but adds to the overall homely, rustic feel of the room.
Adding black furniture and appliances is an eye-catching touch and forms a lovely contrast, making it easy on the eyes in a modern home.

Shaker style kitchens are known for being effortless, classic, and adaptable. Modern kitchens take advantage of this design as they can be dressed up or down, according to your needs and taste.
This grand, open plan kitchen features white Shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances and hardware, finished with a white benchtop.

Keep Calm and Choose Black
Modern kitchen designs often feature a neutral palette. This modern black kitchen showcases matte black cabinetry, wood flooring, black appliances, and an understated yet stunning light choice.
Black-themed kitchen designs are flourishing due to their modern-day, elegant feel, while adding to the mood of your kitchen.

Crisp White Cabinetry and Countertops
White-themed kitchen designs have always been a favoured, sound choice. Neutral colours such as white or grey feel muted and can be combined with textures such as wood, stone, or marble.
White cabinetry and countertops leave a kitchen feeling crisp and modern. Forever a popular colour choice for renovators, white kitchens also offer a relaxing atmosphere.

Industrial Design
Modern black and white design, what’s not to love? Industrial-themed kitchens are very practical and aesthetically pleasing. Industrial themes feel minimalistic and give a sharp, edgy feel to your kitchen.
This is an example of an open plan kitchen with black cabinets, quartz benchtops, white splashback, and stainless-steel appliances.

Eat-In Bar & Seating
In recent times we are spending more time in our homes, therefore, your kitchen should be designed as a space that you can work, relax, eat, and entertain in.
Kitchen designs that include custom tables with benches and chairs, plus island seating and breakfast bars contribute to an al-in-one, living room feel. You can even integrate clever storage solutions to hide your kitchenware and work-from-home office supplies.
