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?
