An amazing kitchen is not impossible to achieve. Create a budget, and start building your dream cooking space. A healthy kitchen is a busy kitchen. When the space is prepared right, it will function as the nucleus for your family and guests.

Kerrie Kelly, a Global Connect Advisor for the National Kitchen Bath Association (NKBA) said for 2022, “the focus on Millennials means the design industry can expect to see more organic features and natural finishes with an emphasis on warm hues, wood tones, more matte and brushed finishes.”

Wood-Focused

This Canadian home has a bright and airy covered kitchen.

Concrete pendants at the workspace end of the island add a contemporary touch and the open shelving above the back counter keep the space open and airy. Designed by Naked Kitchens in the UK.

White Space Odyssey

This example from Loft4C could pass as a film set for “2001: Space Odyssey.” Comprised of angular components faced in black, their setting against the otherwise white kitchen is dramatic. Under-lighting highlights the shaped cabinets and other kitchen elements.

Eco-Friendly Kitchen

This kitchen design from Marmur Studio is clean-lined and functional. Apartment space is limited. The large square island includes workspace and dining space with the two barstools.

Small And Simple

You should only add necessary elements, like this example from Barcelona, Spain. Designed by Colombo and Serboli Architecture, the kitchen had to fit into an awkward space that is part of the larger living area.

Mid Century Modern Kitchen

Marasovic Arhitekti of Slovenia designed this kitchen incorporates dining and office space with mid-century flavor. Natural handleless wood cabinets grace only one wall of the kitchen, covering its full width. The dining table bisects the central column that adds a visual divide with the kitchen space.

Modern Industrial

While most modern kitchens are white and bright, this one uses a dark monochrome palette broken by the waterfall island. Designed by Studio Makom, the kitchen has everything, but you can’t see it, and that’s inentional.

Urban Renewal

Combining new and modern, this kitchen by Megowan Architecture gets is style from the juxtaposition of the two. The raw brick wall contrasts — in a pleasing way — with the smooth, hardware-free cabinetry in stark black and white.

Modern Art Kitchen Space

This kitchen by Tom Robertson Architects has it all. The geometries of the design enhance the black and white palette. Other than the sink and cooktop, the other working elements of this amazing kitchen are hidden behind the cabinet doors.

Majesty Black

Designed by the Life Space Group, the matte black finish is far more appealing — and less shocking — than shiny black surfaces would be. Paired with pale gray walls and a light wood floor with a natural look, the kitchen is welcoming and warm, despite its minimalist aesthetic.

New Wood Look

Sleek, flat-front cabinets combined with slim solid surface counters and a waterfall countertop on the large island. The light and airy space designed by the Ranch Mine feels modern yet channels a natural vibe that makes the ample use of wood very appealing.

Timeless Marble
