17 Gorgeous Modern Kitchens

January 20, 2019 By Andi Leave a Comment

Sleek finishes, clean lines, inventive color schemes, and creative materials make these kitchens stand out.

Add a jolt of color

Add a jolt of color

Black, white, and stainless steel look even more modern with a pop of color—in this case citron-green stools (made of easy-to-clean vinyl). Concrete flooring keeps the look cool.

Let tiles do the talking

By painting the cabinets, walls, and window trim the same color—charcoal gray—this couple put the focus on the dramatic floor tile. The gray in the tiles ties the room together, while the blues add shock value. Tiles: Hexagon 8 tiles in Original Blue, from about $20/sq. ft.; kismettile.com Paint: Smoked Glass RLUL225; ralphlaurenhome.com

Balance cool with warm

Streamlined blonde wood cabinetry and globe lights are hallmarks of modern design; the tomato-red stools and blue-green add friendliness.

Open up

Open up

This kitchen operates with very little closed storage, so dishes double as visual accents in the room. Glassware lines a long open shelf and a custom island holds a collection of modern dishes.

Think texture

Think texture

To create visual interest in this prefab kitchen, the designer incorporated textured elements, including cork floors and a wild-edged, reclaimed walnut table.

Let nature in

Let nature in

The kitchen walls slide aside to access a 450-square-foot deck that includes a barbecue station, effectively doubling the room’s square footage. The ipe flooring flows from indoor to out, creating a cohesive look between the spaces.

Rough things up

Rough things up

This kitchen room may have the clean lines of a modern space, but the materials add a rustic vibe. The cabinetry is made of reclaimed barnwood and the backsplash is corrugated metal siding.

Keep it streamlined

Keep it streamlined

Flat cabinets with simple hardware and sleek countertops give this kitchen its distinctly contemporary look, while an oversized window over the sink makes the most of the view.

Make it livable

Make it livable

Because this kitchen is part of a great room, it needed to fit in with the rest of the home’s modern style without looking utilitarian. A butcher block-topped island, dark cabinetry, and a herringbone-patterned floor help the cooking area blend in with the other living areas.

Play with contrasts

Play with contrasts

Ebony-stained kitchen cabinets serve as a counterpoint to the white walls and light-colored flooring. The black-and-white tile ties it all together, while the brass hardware adds a touch of glamour.

Serve up the unexpected

Serve up the unexpected

Many of the surfaces in this kitchen are sleek, from the glossy table to the concrete floors. But on the cabinets, flakeboard (similar to plywood, but made with wood scraps) adds an unexpected texture–and is economical too.

Marry different styles

Marry different styles

Varying finishes and styles give the kitchen character. A dark green La Cornue stove contrasts with light oak cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, and bright yellow artwork.

Go blonde

Go blonde

This island was made from a stainless-steel and butcher block workspace from a restaurant-supply store that the couple covered on three sides with plywood, to help it fit in with the rest of the light wood in the space.

Let your décor style lead

Let your décor style lead

In this open kitchen, walnut cabinetry visually links the room to the dining and living spaces around it. The large kitchen island acts as a casual spot for family meals—an alternative to the more formal dining table.

Make every inch count

Make every inch count

In designing this tiny kitchen, the couple went through their cookware dish by dish to come up with the right division of space. Hanging racks hold glassware and pots; the island includes custom spice drawers, a pullout chopping block, and shelves for cookbooks.

Apply one bold stroke

Apply one bold stroke

A brick-red island is the star of this kitchen. For a sophisticated look, pair one colorful object with neutral tones. Here, dark-wood surfaces and stainless steel appliances do the trick.

Add instant personality

Add instant personality

In this eat-in kitchen, large-scale artwork (actually vintage bus signage) makes a statement and temporary peel-and-stick wallpaper upgrades standard-issue kitchen cabinets. Gio silver, $85/double roll; tempaperdesigns.com

Andi quickly discovered our parameters and made sure we didn't waste time looking at properties we wouldn't be interested in and stay within our budget.
~ Trulia Reviewer

Andi has a keen instinct for smart marketing and is very responsible to her clients. She is a committed Real Estate broker and has a very sunny disposition. No matter what your needs are, be it finding a home or selling your current real property, her years of experience in the field are a huge asset!
~ T.W.

It has been a pleasure working with Andi. She always has a smile and a positive attitude. She put a lot of time and effort into selling my house and I couldn't have happier with anyone else.
~J.M.

Selling a house is STRESSFUL. There are so many things to do and so many cracks to slip into. Thanks to Andi, there were no cracks with her timely checklists; she showed me that selling doesn’t have to be so stressful. A good selling experience is possible! She is the broker to keep in your back pocket.
~ Rose W.

Andi was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with her was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. All throughout the negotiations and closing she was there quickly handling any issues that may have risen. We would recommend her to anyone. If the time ever comes when I will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who my Realtor will be!
