Small Modern Kitchens: Beautiful Kitchen Design

Although I’m more inclined to a mixture of modern and traditional.  My Interior Design style consists more of classic lines combined with modern touches; I appreciate modern and clean lines in Interior Design.  Especially because it’s a smart way to go when dealing with tiny and narrow spaces as in these small kitchens.  As it’s well known “less is more” and I’m not one that uses that term very often because mathematically doesn’t make much sense, lol. On the other hand, though these small modern design kitchens featured here are all small and with clean line kitchen cabinets, they all have something in common that stop them from being boring.  These unique elements are the finishing on the cabinets, fixtures, and accessories.  These smart designers kept things interesting with finishing such as lacquer, stainless steel, gorgeous marble as backsplash, and a lot of brass or gold accents.  Lovely details that can make all the difference.  Who said that modern kitchen design has to be boring?

In small kitchens, we may not see a kitchen island or a dining are obviously because of the small space, but we can incorporate many other modern elements into the kitchen design.  Some of my favorites small kitchen design ideas happen to be also functional elements such as open shelving, high gloss cabinets, stainless steel appliances since they all can make a small kitchen look more spacious.  Having open shelvings also provide more counter space for food preparation.  Below, more modern kitchen design ideas.

    The details are truly inspiring. Your roundup reinforces our opinion that design is about bringing curiosity, joy, and thoughtfulness to our surroundings.

    I like the grey shades in the third photo. Using an element or detail that stands out in minimalist design is so refreshing and welcome. xo

    A lovely post! My favorite is the kitchen in image #3. The wood and gold accents warm up an otherwise cool palette.

    Great pics. These modern kitchens are a must (in my opinion) in small kitchens – the smaller they are, the more clean, modern lines they should have. It's not just from a looks stand point, but these frameless modern kitchens allow more storage and better usage of the kitchen. We (www.pediniusa.com) offer mostly very clean, modern designs and end up doing tons of these type kitchens, in city apartments around the world.

    Space doesn't matter, no matter the kitchen is small or big. It is all about master kitchen design that makes your kitchen looks awesomely good. Isn't it!
