Consider Bold Colours 

The modern kitchen allows you the freedom to experiment with colours that resonate with you. While neutrals are a conventional and flattering colour palette, consider bold colours to add personality and a touch of eclecticism into your space. 

Consider colours like purple, orange, green, or blue, and play with the hues or saturation to fit your taste. Acrylic and laminate finishes look especially great with bolder colours, introducing a sense of balance and elegant reserve despite the bright colour palette. For darker bold colours like midnight blue, emerald green, or maroon, you could also consider experimenting with a high-gloss finish.

If you are scared of dabbling with bold colours, try pairing them as accents to a more neutral colour palette. Playing with bold colours on your cabinets is definitely a fail-proof way to go. You can balance more neutral tones like cream, being, grey, or white, with bold statement hues on specific drawers or columns of cabinets to create a cohesive, fun, yet reserved modern kitchen.

Try Out Sleek Kitchen Cabinets without Handles

You don’t need to go all out with ornamentation and frills to make your space look elegant and luxurious. When it comes to the modern kitchen, elegance is all about clean lines and a minimalistic aesthetic. 

Foregoing handles and hardware on your storage units is a great way to accomplish this. Consider handleless slab doors and drawers on your cabinets to preserve the smooth flow of your kitchen design and its air of simple elegance. 

Use Tiles to Create a Luxe Backsplash

A backsplash instantly elevates the look of your modern kitchen, and the best way of doing this is through tiles. 

Today, there are innumerable designs and finishes to pick from for kitchen tiles. No matter your preference and the colour palette of your kitchen space, it is very likely that you will find a kitchen tile to meet your requirements. 

If you are looking for a snazzy and glam aesthetic, pick tiles with reflective finishes such as glass or metallic. On the other hand, if you are aiming for a more understated elegance, go for ceramic, stone, or marble tiles. 

You can coordinate the colours of your tiles to complement or enhance the colour palette of your kitchen. For instance, if you have a bright yellow and white kitchen, you can pick white tiles to balance out the brightness of the yellow, while tying it together with a panel of yellow accents. On the other hand, if you have a very neutral kitchen, use the backsplash to add some colour and personality to your kitchen. 

When in Doubt, Pick White

A white kitchen embodies luxury, elegance, and the spirit of modern minimalism. It’s a great colour for maintaining a clean and open aesthetic. Experiment with finishes- hi-gloss, acrylic, or even some marbled lamination on the storage units.

If you are worried your kitchen is looking too clinical or drab, add some life back to it using a bold backsplash!

The modern kitchen goes beyond just being a place for you to cook. Yes, it is a functional area, but with the right design to add oomph to the space, the modern kitchen can be a stylish retreat that makes cooking fun and not just a chor
