Creating a kitchen layout, whether for a small or large area, comes with several considerations – including effective ways to ensure that the result is streamlined, clutter-free and visually appealing. A minimalist kitchen design is an evergreen solution where materials are handpicked to create impact while still being functional and suited for spaces that are often susceptible to messes.
Atlas Concorde’s range of kitchen tiles provides several options to bring a contemporary style to life while maintaining those key elements that give a kitchen a refined and neat appearance.
Let’s take a look at what defines this interior design trend.
A modern minimalist kitchen isn’t just about “less is more”. At its core, it is a streamlined approach to design, with sleek lines that draw the eye throughout the room. These spaces are always clutter-free and are set up to create balance with handpicked colours that create harmony and a perfect atmosphere while preparing meals.
The shades that you choose are not necessarily limited to muted colours. For instance, coloured tiles can be used for kitchen backsplashes or as borders for open-plan kitchens, creating a sense of place without compromising clean, contemporary looks.
A contemporary minimalist kitchen, when designed right, can easily exude elegance. Whether you go for a crisp white look enhanced with marble-effect tiles for a splashback or worktop – such as Atlas Concorde’s Marvel Meraviglia – or create harmony with wood effect tiles such as Log and Log Cansei collections that match cabinetry, it’s easy to refresh a kitchen design.
Stone effect tiles are also minimalist kitchen winners, as they are durable yet sophisticated, and available in several styles to choose from.
Minimalism certainly doesn’t mean that interior designers are limited to just a handful of design styles.
Several options exist to choose from, including mixing and matching wood-look tiles and white minimalist kitchen cabinets.
Adding industrial touches with black lamps to kitchens is another interesting trend, which can be perfectly matched with the intense colour of worktops crafted from materials such as Atlas Concorde’s Marvel Diva range.
Combining the right accents and textures can easily help you make the most of minimalist kitchen design. Plus, you have more than enough room for creativity to incorporate interesting shapes, such as an oval-shaped minimalist kitchen island adorned with porcelain tiles.
Whichever style you choose from, it is important that it beautifully aligns with the rest of your home, especially if you have an open-plan kitchen. Consider the colour palette of your adjacent rooms and how your kitchen design will seamlessly flow into its neighbouring rooms, adding to that feeling of openness.
