Modern Kitchen Concepts L ast year saw a rise in the love for vintage home and kitchen décor. And while the nomenclature of “classics” stands for a reason, it may not be for everyone. For those who have already lived through eras now regarded as “retro,” a
contemporary spin may be what you need. If you’re looking for a modern take on your space, here are just a few ways you can achieve a gorgeous kitchen from this century.
Less is More The main component of modern home space is the practice of minimalism. Toning down the urge to fill the inches of counter space that meet the backsplash is a great place to start modernizing your kitchen. Declutter where and what you can, and instead opt for clean, open and neutral-toned surfaces and accents. If you’ve been thinking about adding an island to your kitchen, you may want to double-check the dimensions. Be sure to get something large enough to be functional in your home but small enough that it will not restrict movement or keep guests from socializing in the space with you.
Kitchen Plants Whether you’re looking for decorative, air-purifying or even a countertop herb garden, plants are a great way to decorate an otherwise minimalistic space. They also contribute to the growing (no pun intended) idea of increasing your connections with the outdoors. Keeping a few plants in your kitchen area is a great way to brighten up the room, especially for those in smaller, closed-off apartment spaces. This windowsill herb garden kit from Amazon is a great way to incorporate nature and flavor in your kitchen. Complete with seeds, reusable pots and bamboo labels, this is a great way to start with kitchen plants.
