For so many families, the kitchen is a focal point of the home. Not only do parents spend hours each week cooking, children sidle up to the kitchen bar for after-school snacks or even to do homework. The importance of the kitchen in everyday activities means that it can feel uncomfortable to simplify the space so that it meets with minimalist aesthetics. After all, where is the warmth of a stark which countertop or a monochromatic kitchen island? Still, the kitchens featured in this post manage to not only incorporate the necessary appliances and seating that is required of a kitchen, they also ensure that each space is imbued with its own sense of style. Take a look and find some inspiration for your next simplification project.

The color white will be a theme throughout this post, starting with this first kitchen. White is an easy way to convey minimalism as it immediately feels clean and simple.

In an open floor plan like this one, a white minimalist kitchen design overflows into the rest of the public space, which also uses white on white as a unifying style.

Minimalist black and white kitchens are another common sight, with the contrast in shades adding a contemporary feel. Rustic wooden bar stools are an unexpected touch.

Of course, where minimalism is at play, the combination of white and wood cannot be far behind. Here, a white kitchen sets off a deep red wood dining table to great effect.

A white subway tile backsplash is very on trend. For more examples of stunning white on white designs, be sure to check out 30 Modern White Kitchens That Exemplify Refinement.

A minimalist kitchen does not have to be complete devoid of color. In this simple design, bits of color in the way of natural wood, yellow, and red manage to shine through.

This next example is even more colorful with deep sage green cabinetry and a mustard yellow refrigerator. Minimalist kitchen design, after all, is not about color but about clean lines and clutter-free organization.

In this lovely kitchen, minimalist shelving keeps kitchen necessities liked mugs and bowls tucked away neatly but also easy to reach when they are needed.

The furniture that’s used in a kitchen also plays a critical role in its overall style. Here, black minimalist kitchen stools match nicely with the simple kitchen island lighting for a modern, unified look.

A good minimalist kitchen design maximizes the space available, as evidenced in this simple, wood kitchen.

In another example of stylish white and wood kitchens, this space has a bit more square footage but still defaults to simplicity.

The use of levels is another minimalist design technique. Here, the kitchen is elevated above the living area and shelving continues the stair step effect.

A minimalist kitchen can also make unique accessories stand out, as with the unique kitchen stools and the fancy kitchen island lighting in this space.

Moving into some darker options, this copper and black minimalist kitchen is almost futuristic in its style.

But a white minimalist kitchen with high shelves and black appliances can have its own futuristic appeal, too.

Indoor plants are a welcome addition to white on white kitchen design, adding both color and texture.

In marble kitchens like this one, the cool, smooth surfaces and minimalist decor scream luxury.

In another colorful example, a bright yellow backsplash creates contrast and joy against the black minimalist kitchen design.

Another example of yellow accent kitchens that work is this, which uses white as its neutral contrast rather than black.

Among black and white kitchens, this one is particularly sparse in its design.

Against the white design, the large, unique dining pendant light becomes a centerpiece in this open home.

The geometric minimalist kitchen island in this design is extremely unique.

White and wood cabinetry in this kitchen create almost a dip dyed effect.

This white and wood kitchen also features an island and stainless steel appliances.

Some, but not all, Scandinavian style kitchens also have elements of minimalism like this one.

For an artistic minimalist kitchen design, it would be hard to do better than this white design with bright red and green accents.

Open cabinets force minimalist kitchens to stay clean while a red contrast shelving unit brings in a bit of brightness.

Some small minimalist kitchens are clean and simple by requirements, as this colorful but small space can attest.

And going even smaller is this narrow minimalist kitchen that no doubt sits somewhere close to a city center.

An all white design is how this narrow minimalist kitchen keeps from getting too cramped

The exposed wood beams in this kitchen give it a bit of a rustic feel, considering its otherwise minimalist style.

A window to the outside can also be quite helpful when designing for a small kitchen like this one.

Minimalist design does not have to preclude luxuries like an eat-in kitchen, as seen here.

When a kitchen is open to any visitor, simple colors like white and wood, plus cabinets that hide clutter, can be the best choice.

This minimalist kitchen with island is actually quite large, demonstrating that minimalist does not have to equal tiny.

Creative minimalist kitchen storage underneath the island in this design is clever and practical.

In another black on black design option, open minimalist shelving forces homeowners to pare down.

This dark kitchen appears to contrast with the rest of the house, going from black to white rather abruptly. The result is chic if a bit jarring.

Lighting underneath the cabinetry and inside the shelving gives this dark minimalist kitchen a rather ethereal feel.

And here, a final example of just how stunning minimalist black kitchens can be, particularly when they make use of natural wood elements as well.

Richard Powers

Since the kitchen is the workhorse of the home, it might be hard to even imagine having a minimalist take on one. But just because less is more when it comes to minimalist interiors, that doesn't mean the space has to be empty. Think of it as a covert operation--belongings need to be pared-down and concealed. The appearance should be clean but filled with luxe stone, sleek appliances, and gorgeous finishes. Here, a few of our favorite designers share their tips on designing a minimalist kitchen with maximum style.

Matching Countertop and Backsplash

"Minimalism is not the lack of something but the perfect amount of it, and when it comes to kitchens, this has never been more true," says Nina Magon of Contour Interior Design. "Use the same material as the countertop for the backsplash. This can create a beautiful waterfall effect and a nice simplistic and calming aesthetic."

Monochromatic Palette

"When I'm designing a minimalist kitchen, I remove non-essential appliances from the countertops and I always use a monochromatic palette," says New York-based interior designer, Joy Moyler. "It's less for the eyes to focus on and I'd rather see beautiful stonework than a clumsy waffle maker any day!"

Pull the Plugs

"Using pop-up plugs in the counters and inside the cabinets eliminates the need for all those unattractive sockets on your backsplash. This produces a sleek and clean look," says Magon.

Keep a Low Profile

"Using a low-profile cooktop that nests within the countertop leaves a smooth and continuous surface," says Karen Williams of kitchen design firm St. Charles of NY.

Make a Statement

"Our goal when designing a minimalist kitchen is to make sure that everything we incorporate is necessary for the space. If we're using just a few things, each piece needs to make a statement," says Los Angeles-based designer Breegan Jane.

All White Everything

"I love white in a kitchen and everywhere in a home for that matter. Even in a home filled with kids, white can be cleaned to perfection," says Jane. In this New York City home , the kitchen's lacquered cabinetry is custom made for a clean, modern aesthetic. It is echoed in style by the backsplash and countertop, made with Calacatta marble. The range is by Viking, the refrigerator is by Sub-Zero and the print is by Ellsworth Kelly.

35 Master Bedroom Curtains That Make a Statement

Minimalist kitchen design

Design features

Minimalism is a combination of modern trends and rational design. Due to the absence of unnecessary elements, it is possible to achieve very comfortable and functional ergonomics of space - both in an apartment and in a private house. The main design features of the style:

Colors

The hue range of the style has a small color spectrum, including light and cold tones that visually enlarge a small room.

The interior of a white kitchen is considered the standard of cleanliness. The snow-white wall decoration and the plain ceiling seem to merge into a single whole and add spaciousness to the room. In the design of the kitchen in the style of minimalism, gray colors are especially popular - from light ash to graphite shades.

Pictured is a minimalist kitchen-dining room done in warm beige tones.

The black kitchen has the most respectable and noble appearance. When choosing a dark range in a room, you need to think about high-quality lighting.

The classic black and white combination remains relevant for the style: a dark floor contrasting against the background of white walls or furniture.

Textiles

Both in the spacious kitchen and in the small-sized Khrushchev, windows are moderately decorated, window sills are not forced with vases and flower pots. The best option is plain blinds, tulle, Roman or roller blinds that blend in with the surroundings. The material used is synthetics - polyester, nylon or lavsan, which has a moisture-repellent impregnation.

Minimalism in kitchen design means the rare use of carpets, tablecloths and chair cushions. If textiles are needed, products with strict geometric ornaments are selected. You can complement the decor with a rectangular or square carpet with unobtrusive patterns and soft color transitions.

The photo shows a panoramic window in the kitchen in a minimalist style, decorated with transparent tulle.

Furniture and appliances

Items have closed glossy or matte fronts. In the design of a spacious kitchen, a set with an island and a work area, complemented by chrome details and modern plumbing, is appropriate. Chairs can be replaced with a corner sofa with textile or leather upholstery.

The dining table is finished with a thin sanded wooden top or made of plastic, MDF or safety glass. The minimalist wooden stools have seats upholstered in leather or leatherette in black, gray or white. For convenient placement of necessary things, the kitchen is equipped with drawers, corner shelves, special hooks and magnets.

The design of the minimalist kitchen is elegant and understated. Mostly there are closed facades without handles, which have a completely plain and neutral color. The most common are linear straight kitchens, as well as g- and p-shaped structures.

Household appliances are preferred in the built-in version, that is, hidden behind the doors of the facades. The room is equipped with a compact freezer, a hob with an extractor fan and an oven. The dishwasher is placed under the sink, the microwave is placed on a closed shelf or hung on a bracket.

Infrequently used appliances such as a mixer, juicer, coffee maker, food processor or blender are allocated space in closed cabinets. If there is a balcony in the kitchen, it is equipped with a dining area, a place of rest, a stove, a refrigerator or a bar counter are placed on it.

Finishes and materials

Minimalism in kitchen design is achieved through harmonious combinations of finishes. All coatings are easily combined with each other, emphasizing the simplicity of style.

The photo shows the interior of a modern kitchen, the floor of which is lined with a wide parquet board.

In a minimalist style, quality cladding is preferred. It is not recommended to use more than three or four different materials. Also, do not mix different types of metals.

The photo shows a minimalist design of the kitchen with a matte two-level white stretch ceiling.

When selecting finishing materials, special attention is paid to their properties, which must be fully suited to the conditions of the kitchen - to be practical and durable.

Minimalism in the kitchen is often recreated with white. Contrary to popular belief, snow-white facades do not get dirty more often than others: on the contrary, stains on them are less noticeable, and splashes and food particles are easily rubbed off, as they do not have time to dry.

Lighting

A feature of the minimalist style is bright lighting, which includes several levels. For the chandelier, a laconic design is chosen with a lampshade of a simple geometric shape. In the kitchen, pendant lights above the table or bar counter are appropriate.

Spotlights, neat geometric disks, halogen and LED lamps are suitable for illuminating the dining and working areas. Backlighting is also used for niches and furniture to create a floating effect.

Minimalist kitchens in small apartments do not have a large area, so it is necessary to provide at least three sources of artificial light: this way the room will seem more spacious.

Pictured are the original lamps with glass shades above the dining table.

Décor

A light, minimalist kitchen should be diluted with contrasting details. The spacious room is decorated with a small number of indoor plants. Abstract paintings or black and white photographs in a simple frame are also suitable. You can diversify the interior with the help of an original ceramic floor vase or a container with spices.

Pictured is a minimalist kitchen decorated with a modular abstract painting.

Care must be taken when using decorative elements so that the design does not become overloaded and the overall harmonious perception of the environment is not spoiled. This is especially true for a small minimalist kitchen.

Interior photo

In contrast to the classic minimalist design, which is characterized by a certain coldness, eco-minimalism looks more comfortable and warm. Natural materials and simple shapes add up to a single concept and emphasize the style favorably.

Eco-minimalism suggests a natural color palette in beige, light blue, tan or ocher. Green, yellow blotches, wood or stone are used as accents, giving the atmosphere a homely feel.

The photo shows the design of a small kitchen in an apartment, decorated in eco-minimalism style.

In eco-minimalism, metal and chrome elements are not used in large quantities. Aesthetic interior prefers streamlined or natural forms. Textile design is important in the kitchen. The windows are decorated with linen, cotton curtains or bamboo blinds, the table is decorated with jute napkins, and the sofa is covered with a woolen blanket.

Minimalist kitchen-living room

When designing a kitchen combined with a living room, you can achieve a truly elegant interior. Minimalism is perfect for a small room: light colors and strict lines give a feeling of additional space.

The photo shows a combined kitchen-studio, where minimalism is the main style.

For zoning the kitchen-living room, you can use a soft sofa: its back will divide the room into a seating area and a dining area. The ideal model would be a design with a low back and wide rectangular seats.

To distinguish between a small kitchen and a minimalist living room, a bar counter with simple chairs is perfect. This zoning option will not only divide the space into clear sections, but also create an original accent detail. To emphasize the place for cooking, you can use a contrasting apron or spot lighting.

Despite the simplicity of the style, minimalism is in great demand. Thanks to the graphic lines, the abundance of light and the soft palette, the decor looks modern, light and functional. For other ideas for your kitchen in the style of minimalism, see the selection of real photos of interiors.

Minimalist kitchen: 15 trendy ideas

It is customary to finish the floor in the kitchen with traditional tiles, porcelain stoneware or parquet treated with a water-repellent composition. Laminate and solid wood boards are not forbidden. The main rule: the floor should look like a solid canvas, not fragments. The combination of textures, ornaments, decorative inserts and other creativity in minimalism is not welcome.

In general, it is better not to draw attention to the floor - the accent decoration of one wall with brick is much more popular now. This solution is borrowed from the loft - and feels great in minimalism.

2. Cabinets under the ceiling

studios are most often decorated in the style of minimalism. A full kitchen, of course, is not available in the studios. An average of one and a half meters is allocated for it along one of the walls, where it is necessary to place a stove, cabinets, a sink and a cutting surface. The most logical solution is to decorate the entire kitchen area in white. But what to do with dishes, small appliances and a bunch of things necessary for every housewife, if it is undesirable to keep them in sight?

I have an idea! It is necessary to arrange the space above the kitchen area with small cabinets, placing them under the ceiling, as shown in the photo. The configuration of this partitioned storage system can be any.

3. Island Storage

With an open floor plan, the white, minimalist design of the kitchen seems to flow into the rest of the space, which also uses white trim. The fashionable idea is that here the additional storage system is placed in the front part of the island. Designers offer such a solution not so much to save space, but to remove everything that can be removed from surfaces and in general from sight.

4. Playing with light

The right white shade is never cold. The "hospital" sterility of the owners of such a kitchen also does not frighten. Solid white is actually made up of different textures, materials, and geometric decorations. You can highlight or brighten the desired part of the kitchen with the help of lighting. This is another trendy idea.

5. Woodwork

A minimalist kitchen doesn't have to be completely devoid of bright colors. Here, these are small objects, such as a yellow stool, and a tree. The wooden shelf and wooden table embodied the idea of ​​natural materials.

6. Colored surfaces

Usually the number of shades that are simultaneously used in the style of minimalism does not exceed two, in extreme cases three. As a rule, these are classic combinations: black and white, white and gray, gray and black, beige and cream. Bright inserts are more typical for modern than for minimalism.

A fashionable idea is in violation of the canons. Despite the suite's olive façade and mustard yellow fridge and red stove door, it's still minimalist. After all, minimalist kitchen design is not about color, but about clean lines and hassle-free space organization.

7. Inconspicuous shelving

In this kitchen, a minimalist shelving keeps kitchen utensils and utensils neatly out of sight and easily accessible when needed.

Photo: behance.net

8. Different levels

Using different levels to furnish the kitchen is another trendy minimalist idea. Here the kitchen rises above the living area and the shelving continues the effect of the steps. And each of them can become an additional storage space.

Light furniture and lamps

Almost weightless chairs made of metal weaves and almost invisible lamps in the form of a geometric composition are a very effective idea for decorating a minimalist kitchen. These are decor, and functional items, and accents.

10. Copper accents and finishes

Not every minimalist kitchen is dominated by white in decoration and furniture. Let's move on to darker options and take a close look at this copper-black kitchen with an almost futuristic look. The glossy finish on the front of the kitchen island echoes the shade of the lamps hanging from the ceiling on thin cords. Copper accents confidently come into fashion in this combination: trim plus accessories.

11. Marble finish

A minimalist kitchen with marble surfaces is luxurious and aristocratic. If it is not possible to finish with real marble, try to achieve the same effect using decorative artificial materials. It is better not to make bright accents in such a kitchen. But we would borrow the idea of ​​"cloudy" lamps.

12. Bright accent

The idea of ​​a two-tone minimalist kitchen, where a very bright shade acts as an accent, has become extremely popular. The most fashionable of them are sunny yellow, as in this photo, as well as red or green. It is important to observe the proportions of the use of two shades in space: the accent color occupies no more than a quarter of the entire area.

13. The combination of several catchy colors

Many style canons are violated in this minimalist kitchen. Nevertheless, the accents on the facades and a few dark shades on the walls look harmonious - and yes, fashionable! From a distance, it may even seem that the flow of one color into another creates a kind of ombre - a very popular technique for decorating space.
