Bring Your Minimalist Kitchen to Life
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that light kitchen palettes are always in favour; they’re sleek, minimalist and extremely versatile.
But now more than ever, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker embracing the trend, people are turning towards a pristine, white and lighter design as their new kitchen of choice.
In our latest blog, the BCK team explores some important aspects to consider, if you feel this kitchen design style is for you.
Choose Good Quality Kitchen Cabinets
When pursuing white in the kitchen, we’d advise prioritising quality. Light kitchens are great for giving the illusion of light in a space, but they can quickly deteriorate if their quality was below par to start with, revealing wear-and-tear and damage.
Furthermore, because lighter kitchens demand meticulous cleaning, investing in durable furniture and robust worktops is imperative, so that this cleaning is quick and easy to undertake.
Choose Focal Points Wisely
In a white or light grey kitchen, every element has the potential to be a focal point, thanks to the uncluttered canvas.
It’s crucial to choose the right components to accentuate the space. Whether it’s a striking tap, an elegant island, eye-catching flooring, or stunning lighting fixtures, these choices are pivotal in elevating the kitchen’s aesthetics. Thoughtful detailing adds layers of visual interest, while ensuring the space is minimalist but impactful.
Choose Appliances Wisely
Selecting appliances for a white kitchen needs careful consideration. Seamless integration of ovens and microwaves, for example, creates a flush finish that will contribute to the kitchen’s sleek aesthetics. The addition of a downdraft hob not only eliminates the need for a separate extractor but also ensures a cohesive appearance. Coordinating the exposed appliances in the same colour creates a unified visual appeal.
Storing Gracefully, Decluttering Intelligently
Storage is a cornerstone of any kitchen and in the realm of minimalist, all-white or light grey designs, it takes on an even more significant role, with clutter and mess more obvious than ever. To achieve a sleek look, invest in bespoke storage solutions that will ensure your kitchen is organised and tidy, and will stay that way.
Embrace ingenious storage solutions to stow away appliances like coffee machines, toasters and microwaves, thereby maintaining an uncluttered worktop that draws attention to its aesthetic appeal. Also pay attention to other storage solutions like deep drawers, floor-to-ceiling larder units, and bespoke internal drawer fitments.
