Contemporary Kitchen Interior Design Trends

1. Simple + Clean Lines

A contemporary design is clean and minimal. Contemporary kitchen cabinets generally have minimal ornamentation and simple but stylish hardware and no other decorative accents. In terms of colors, contemporary kitchen cabinets may often have a monochromatic color scheme. These colors give a clean appearance that characterizes a contemporary style.

This clean appearance and minimal style are perfect to be used when the kitchen shares the space with other areas like your living or dining room. This way the simplicity of the cabinetry can match better with all the contemporary décor and furniture that confirm the space.
