Contemporary kitchen design highlights flowing open spaces
Contemporary kitchen design incorporates neutral use of color, flowing lines and soft, rounded corners on countertops. The contemporary kitchen design also has an open floor plan, often times eliminating a formal dining area all together. In its place, the kitchen, dining room area, and family room are blended into a larger open space. The result is a space that is open, modern, and flows nicely from one area to the other.
An island is a necessary part of the contemporary kitchen design. These islands are oversized and typically have multiple functions including food preparation using the built in prep sink, cooking on the built in range or hotplate, informal dining at the overhang which hides a couple stools for seating, and regular life activities such as doing homework for kids, calculating bills, constructing projects, etc. Many islands in the contemporary kitchen design also have multiple cabinets and drawers for additional kitchen storage.
Lighting in the contemporary kitchen design
The lighting in a contemporary kitchen design is bright and functional. The island of the kitchen is usually lit by an overhead hanging light or by recessed cans in the ceiling. Cabinets will occasionally have under-cabinet lighting which illuminates the countertops creating a softly lit working surface.
Other features of the contemporary kitchen design
Clean lines are common in the cabinetry found in the contemporary kitchen design. Cabinets in this design can be solid wood or have glass fronts. Typical wood color is lighter and might include maple or oak. Hardware is simple but functional. Countertops can be either neutral or a little darker to offer some contrast in the overall design. Flooring can be either lighter hardwood or neutral to medium color ceramic tile.
