Fresh kitchen design is one of the most exciting ways to liven up your home decor. There are plenty of styles to choose from when creating the kitchen of your dreams, and an important first step is picking the one that appeals to you. At Inspire Kitchen Designs, we love to help people discover a look they'll love, then make it come to life.
Of course, no decor style is static, and keeping the look fresh and updated is important. The perfect subtle adjustments make classic styles sing. Here are some of the styles we love to help you wade through the options and see how they work in 2023.
Embracing Modern & Contemporary Marvels
Modern and contemporary kitchens are all about sleek lines and a minimalist look. Overall, this gives them a sophisticated and uncluttered feel. You won't find knotty pine in these kitchens but polished modern materials such as Lucite, stainless steel, glass, slate, and concrete.
Today's modern and contemporary kitchens look elegant without being rigid. Asymmetrical details help create visual interest without detracting from the polished effect. Floating shelves, high-tech appliances, mid-century modern light fixtures, and simple color palettes work together to create a refined yet welcoming look.
In 2023, designers are focusing on reimagined islands, horizontal lines, and concrete flooring for the most updated modern and contemporary looks.
Transcending Time with Transitional & Timeless Designs
This style takes traditional decor and blends it seamlessly with contemporary style. The result is a kitchen with enduring appeal and versatility. In the hands of a skilled designer, transitional kitchens marry comfortable warmth with just enough contemporary styling to keep it sophisticated. Combining the two elements creates a space that's welcoming without being stuffy and sleek without being cold.
Designers can also bring in elements from other styles to amp up the impact of a transitional kitchen. To combine all these components without losing harmony, it's important to balance different materials and proportions carefully. The result is an enduring look.
Today's trends for a transitional kitchen include a mix of textures and custom cabinet details.
Rediscovering Tradition & Rustic Charm
Traditional kitchens are created to be warm, unpretentious, and functional. With a classic design that's softened with a patina of vintage details, this style is the quintessential family kitchen. These kitchens often include thoughtfully crafted cabinets and soothing color schemes.
The most up-to-date approach to a traditional kitchen includes latched icebox hardware, vintage light fixtures, and beautiful tile backsplashes.
Rustic style takes the look a step further into casual and cozy. With an eclectic look, rustic kitchens feature distressed finishes alongside soft woven textures to create a look that seems lived-in and well-loved. Although undeniably beautiful, these kitchens were still made to be used.
Rustic kitchens in 2023 tend to lean toward natural materials, handwoven tapestries, and wood finishes that emphasize the unique texture of the wood grain.
At Inspire Kitchen Design, we focus on making sure that these traditional elements come with modern appliances so the relaxed style of either traditional or rustic decor doesn't stand in the way of a functional, easy-to-use kitchen space.
