Pulling Inspiration from European Kitchen Design

April 4, 2017 by iccfloors Leave a Comment

Redesigning your kitchen is quite the task and there are multiple style options to choose from. There may be a common theme that runs through your neighborhood which might tempt you to stick with what you know, but why not try something new? Using popular European kitchen design can help set your home apart from the rest while giving the room a much-needed update. 

 

The style most closely resembled in these types of kitchen designs is known as the modern look. While minimalistic in appearance, this format is meant to keep surfaces looking clean while using cabinetry and other storage ideas to create a high-functioning space.   European kitchens tend to be smaller in size so using this format is popular as it is an easier way to keep the room less cluttered.

 

Busy-looking wall decor and shelf figurines are unnecessary. Less is more when it comes to this design.  If the room is on the smaller side, the minimal decorations will help enhance the space, while using lighter colors for your cabinetry or flooring will help even further.  Having a contrast between a dark and light material will also make the space even more striking when balanced properly.

 

Modern kitchens tend to utilize more synthetic materials like concrete, plastic and glass which can give the room a cold feeling. This is counter-acted by implemented a few natural elements into the layout to soften it up a bit.  A natural wooden serving tray or hanging potted herbs can give your kitchen an earthier look. Cabinets can also have a natural wood front while the siding and back remain synthetic.  Get creative and mix things up!

 

Consider the items you own and the most convenient way to access them. Use this in your design to customize storage drawers and utensil holders. Pots and pans can have roll-out shelves installed in their appropriate space to save you from having to pull everything out to reach them. Knife blocks, cutting boards and assorted ladles and spatulas will all have their designated space. All you need is a little inspiration and organization to make your European kitchen design happen!
