Modern Kitchen Ideas

With a focus on fuss-free features, ergonomic design, and clean aesthetics, these modern kitchen ideas offer different ways to create a space that is human-centred for a contemporary kitchen design in any home. From cutting-edge colours to modern kitchen units, and cooking devices that are high tech, there are many things to consider when planning a modern kitchen. That is why we have gathered the latest on-trend looks, and real examples from customer homes to inspire any project - large or small.

 

  • A sand grey, integrated handle kitchen in a galley layout. There are white worktops, white sinks, and dark plank flooring.

    1. Go Handle Free

    Pick a built-in handle design, like our Clerkenwell collection. Easy to clean, these fixture-free styles create leading lines for a spacious look.

  • A dark green kitchen with matt cabinets, brass door handles, and a kitchen island complete with a gas hob.

    2. Simplify With Slab

    Thanks to their unfussy appearance, slab units minimise visual distractions for a modern look. They are also versatile, making them easy to style as trends change.

  • A u-shaped white handleless kitchen with super matt cupboard doors. Includes a built-in double oven and an induction hob.

    3. Pick White Neutrals

    A staple in modern kitchen designs, white provides homeowners, like @thehousethatjenbuilt, a bright base that makes a small space appear open.

  • Clerkenwell super matt slate grey

    4. Switch To Grey

    Update a simple style with an on-trend shade, such as grey. This modern tone has a neutral quality that is less stark than white and complements any decor.

  • Contemporary kitchen in an island layout with neutral slab doors in a glossy finish. Contains white worktops and a black tap.

    5. Get The Gloss Look

    High-shine fronts will tie a scheme to the clean aesthetic of contemporary interiors. They also reflect light, adding a dynamic, luxe look to any room.

  • Matt black modern kitchen with slab cupboard doors. Includes a black induction hob and handles, and an oak worktop.

    6. Make Way For Matt

    Matt textures reduce glare, which soothes modern space. @laurenceks has used this to intensify her dark units for a striking effect with a velvet touch.

  • An ash green, shaker kitchen island in a matt finish & handleless style. It has quartz worktops with side panels & backboard

    7. Shake Up Shaker

     Bridge the gap between classic and contemporary style by pairing framed fronts with handleless cabinetry. The added trims will also draw the eye through a space.

  • Clerkenwell Matt Metallic Bronze & Super Matt Sandstone Larder Storage

    8. Store Smarter

    Functionality is central to modern design, which is easily achieved with clever storage. We recommend pull-out units as they improve access for all.

  • Hockley Super Matt Marine Blue In-Frame

    9. Create A Coffee Corner

    Coffee is often an integral part of morning routines. Investing in an integrated model will create café-style drinks on demand while keeping counters clear.
