Contemporary Kitchen Décor Ideas

Carmel The Village offers chic, contemporary-styled apartments in Mountain View, CA. Personalizing your apartment through décor is a great way to turn this space into a home, and your kitchen is the perfect place to start. Kitchens are often a central place in the home, providing a place for socialization and daily tasks as well as cooking and enjoying meals. A kitchen with contemporary décor will perfectly complement the look and feel of the rest of your luxury apartment.

Black and White Décor

Contemporary spaces are known for clean lines and a sense of open space. Choosing a monochromatic palette for your kitchen’s décor will enhance these design elements, creating a slick, modern space you’ll love. Black and white décor elements will never go out of style and are easy to find, making it the perfect choice for your apartment space. Consider black and white bowls, salt and pepper shakers, storage containers, and small appliances to complete the look of your kitchen. Stainless steel is also a great complement for black and white décor, so don’t be afraid to utilize metallic elements as well.

Shelves and Hooks

If you like to store items within easy reach but want to keep them from creating clutter, consider on-the-wall storage options such as hooks and floating shelves. These storage solutions allow you to minimize the number of items on your counter. Keeping your counters free of obstructions will enhance the open and inviting feel of your contemporary kitchen. Take care not to clutter your shelves, either – make sure items are spaced out and neatly stacked. If you don’t want to hang shelves, consider placing a shelving unit in or near your kitchen. Low shelves can make a great space divider, delineating your kitchen space from the rest of your apartment if you have an open floor plan. Storing dishes, bowls, and other kitchen items neatly in a shelving unit allows you to see what you have without making your kitchen feel small or cluttered.

Artwork
Artwork adds personality as well as color to your kitchen space. You can choose either one large piece of art or a series of smaller, related prints to create a focal point from which to build your kitchen’s décor. Find one or two colors in your artwork that you love and carry these colors through into your décor. If you’re having trouble finding items in the right shade, consider painting your own to create the perfect personalized look. Alternatively, using complementary colors can also help to tie your kitchen’s décor together. Select one to two colors on the opposite end of the color wheel from the shades in your artwork and use these as a guideline for kitchen linens, accessories, and place settings.
