Bold and balanced. A unique kitchen pendant light dramatically drops a supended orb at the centre of a balanced walnut and white kitchen installation. The white light fixture is perfectly contrasted by an isolated walnut volume that’s mounted intentionally behind the piece.
Another eye-catching kitchen island lighting installation dominates this contemporary kitchen design. Wall cabinets are subtracted from this layout completely to allow the oversized light fixture its due space.
In this simplified kitchen design, a wall of open kitchen shelving provides all of the visual interest. By changing up the pantry jars and the ceramics that are displayed there, it’s possible to change the entire vibe of the kitchen.
Cork stools and a chunky wooden dining table evoke a modern rustic aesthetic in this high-end kitchen dining space. A grey marble countertop transforms one end of the wooden table into a functional island with a kitchen sink.
White, bright, and nature kissed. White marble and glossy white kitchen units form a luxuriously pristine look here, whilst indoor plants, matching green kitchen bar stools and emerald green upholstered dining chairs add uplifting colour.
The Midas kitchen. This taupe kitchen design is given the Midas touch with a stunning metallic gold kitchen backsplash, plus a matching shelf, gold hardware, and a coordinated tap.
Create interesting spaces with curves. Fashionable curves, arches and racetrack motifs are seen all over the interiors scene right now, and this shapely kitchen is no exception.
An all-stone kitchen design creates a look of luxury and of permanence. This white marble kitchen is given an unexpected shake up with darkly contrasting, unique kitchen pendant lights. The upholstered bar stools provide comfortable seating.
Microcement walls offer more opportunity when it comes to curves in the kitchen. This smooth stucco curves gently away from a wall of open shelving to complement rounded kitchen units.
Create layers of contrasting colour with double banked wall cabinets. This outer boundary of cool blue-grey kitchen cabinets effectively frames an inner core of silvery stainless steel wall units and an equally reflective backsplash. A black island countertop and matching wooden dining chairs lay dark anchors.
This marble kitchen backsplash creates an understated backdrop with a sparse vein. A white kitchen island continues the clean look, along with an all-white sculptural pendant light.
A solid red kitchen and colour-matched backsplash make a punchy, colour-blocked statement. It also helps that the counter is so clean without any messy plates, dishes or knife holders!
Pattern and more pattern. Just because you have patterned tiling on the floor doesn’t mean that you have to go plain on the walls. Have the courage to go all-out.
Spending time in the kitchen doesn’t mean that you have to toiling away over a hot stove. Install a hammock across a sunny kitchen window as a place to dream and drool over those recipe books, or to simply revel in the delicious aromas of what’s already cooking.
Connect with Mother Nature. This natural stone kitchen island feels at one with a glorious view of the outdoors. An edge-to-edge window maximises the peaceful link.
Dark and mysterious. Shadowy, dark grey kitchens benefit from colourful infusions, like this attractive teal light installation. See more inspiration for grey kitchens.
Wall colour can change everything. Imagine this same space with a gallery white backdrop and you’ll experience a completely different vibe from the stark black island and mid green main units. Unique wall colour choices inject character and personality.
Kitchen bar stools are another ideal place to establish individuality. They can also be changed out easily and relatively inexpensively compared to fitted units.
If you’re on this colour journey for the long haul though, then why not invest in some colourful appliances like this red oven and yellow Smeg fridge?
