What is minimalist design?
So what is minimalism, and how can it be applied to the kitchen? Well, minimalist design is all about simple designs that do not create visual clutter or distractions. And in fact, all the physical clutter needs to be removed too, for minimalism to work.
Minimalist design tips for your kitchen
So what does that mean for the kitchen? Well, here are some tips for minimalist design for your kitchen:
- choose plain, un-decorated cupboards and fixtures that are not embellished in any way. Slab cabinet doors can work well for this.
- remove physical clutter by using a range of inventive storage solutions and keeping your kitchen clean and tidy
- opt for handleless cupboards to streamline your design further and remove the visual distraction of the handles themselves
- choose plain tiles or paint that acts as a blank canvas for the rest of the features in the kitchen otherwise any patterns or bright colours will detract from the minimalism
- stick to only two colours to reduce the amount of visual distraction in the kitchen
- both matt and gloss finishes can be very effective for a minimalist design. Matt finishes work well for drawing attention to the small details, while gloss finishes can be very effective when combined with the right lighting.
