Cabinetry has always been a part of kitchen décor so much so that they have become a staple for multiple years. However, even the staples of a room need an upgrade once in a while, which is where modern cabinets come into play. Modern cabinets are quintessential in the modern kitchens because they allow you to cover what you need and display what you want without creating a “cluttered or overbearing” appeal. Keeping that mind these modern cabinet ideas are perfect for the minimalist that lives within us. This guide will help you create a minimal approach while still having an updated feel.
Cerused Oak
While many have yet to hear about this kind of oak, others like us are slowly falling in love with it. Cerused oak is one of the lightest forms of oak there is on the market. Therefore, if you are seeking to bring light to your kitchen using a cerused oak is a way to go. Particularly this oak works great for custom work as it can go paired with multiple different options.
Deeper Wood
If you’re looking for an elegant approach for your kitchen, having deeper, richer hues as part of your cabinetry is a way to go. This works exceptionally well when you have an open kitchen floor plan, the openness allows you to have the perfect amount of contrast between the two displays.
Paneled
Who doesn’t love a country feel in their kitchen? The welcoming aesthetics of a country kitchen is well-loved for many years and there’s no stopping it any time soon. However, country décor has always been notorious for having multiple different components, which is why many will argue that it is quite difficult to create a minimalist approach. In spite of this, for a minimalist appeal go for a paneled cabinetry approach.
Black and Marble
Black is always a great idea in a kitchen that needs an elegant yet edgy approach; however, it becomes that much more minimal and grander when it is paired with a marble island. Keep your black cabinets chic and sleek and have your island speak for itself.
Open and Airy
Yes, we know open cabinetry can be intimidating, in fact, we wrote a guide to help you along the way, that is how much we love and appreciate the way open cabinetry can make a room feel. Have a display of your favorite dishes to expand the size of the room without taking away from it.
Lacquered White
Whether you seek to achieve an all-white approach, or you simply want to add a lacquered touch to your kitchen, having lacquered white cabinets is one of the best ways to work on expanding the room while allowing you to have a unique touch in the space.
Completely Contemporary
The contemporary approach is always a good idea regardless of the style of kitchen you have. The idea is to have cabinets that are completely different from what you’re used to having. Consider different size cabinets or even two different styles of cabinets in the same room.
Go Bold
Even the most minimalist can appreciate a bold cabinetry display. Going boldly entitles you to use rich, vibrant colors and embracing the size of the room. Consider having a contrasting color palette to create the perfect put together appeal without taking away from how your kitchen is displayed.
Matte Grey
Grey became quite popular last year and there is no sign of it leaving us any time soon. Keeping that in mind, grey is becoming a top contender for the kitchen but with a twist of a matte. Matte grey works perfectly for those that want a masculine approach to their kitchen with a hint of modern.
Glass Front Cabinet
Why keep all of your expensive dishes hidden away from your guests, when you can have them easily on display with glass front doors. Having glass doors allow you to showcase only the ones you want but with a shield that keeps them from prying hands. Additionally, it’s a great form of having a bit of a clear protective layer. Make sure to keep your glass cabinets as crystal clear as possible for the best outcome.
