Designing a Minimalist Kitchen
Minimalism – a word we have all heard repeatedly over the last 10+ years. What was once considered a fleeting trend is now an interior design choice for hundreds of thousands of people across the world. For those seeking a fresh and easy to maintain design style, minimalism may be the one for you. Minimalist kitchens are described as a space endowed with clean lines, neutral tones, hidden appliances with an overall sleek design that radiates a bright, fresh and tidy space to cook, host and live in.
But what features make a minimalist kitchen, and how do you know it’s the right choice for your space?
Does minimalism suit your lifestyle?
The first questions we will ask you when helping you decide on your dream kitchen are all about your lifestyle. Let’s take a few of the questions we might ask you and how this could impact the decisions we make:
Do you have any keen chefs in your household?
This helps us decide how easily appliances, spices, and cooking utensils need to be accessed. You can have a minimalist kitchen design either way, but we may need to consider various hidden storage options such as floor-to-ceiling cabinets, hidden spice racks, and drawer organisers.
Do you host often?
For the hosts among us, kitchens must be easy to clean, decorate and maintain. This allows us to know how much seating you might need, keeping appliances off of the countertops to make for easy wipe-downs, and how much floor space is required.
How big is your space?
Minimalist can be achieved on any scale, but the size of your space helps us decide on lighting solutions and colour combinations. Smaller spaces require the use of windows, more lighting and warmer tones to keep the space compact and stylish. However, larger spaces might suit marble effect with white or pale cabinetry.
Less is more
A staple in minimalist design is often the use of handleless designs and hidden storage. Through sleek designs, efficient storage
The key to having a minimalist kitchen that is practical to use is through using smart storage and organisation solutions. At Prestons we have hundreds of storage combinations to make sure that your kitchen functions perfectly for you. Whether you stock up on perishables, or cans, we have drawers and cupboards that work for you.
When it comes to finishing touches, sometimes less is more. We often finish our minimalist designs with handleless openings, pop up sockets and hidden chargers to maintain that simple look.
A touch of quiet luxury
Minimalism exudes a look of quiet luxury by itself but why not finish off your kitchen with a few luxurious touches? We work with a range of suppliers from Quooker, to Bosch, to Neff and more!
