If you were to pick a room of the house which should feature a minimalist design, wouldn’t that room be the kitchen? It’s a natural response. We enjoy minimalist kitchens because they all look so clean, simple and tranquil. But there’s more to it than that.

Minimalist kitchens are not the best suit for large families. Because they’re so simple, they’re not designed to be used by more than one person at a time. This is a style that requires an organized ritual. In a minimalist kitchen, the appliances seem to take very little space. That’s because they are designed this way. Modern kitchen appliances usually feature sleek and and simple lines and they’re often built-ins.

Another characteristic of modern kitchens is the neutral and light color scheme. White is the most common shade but other colors are also popular. Typically, the palette doesn’t include bold tones but mostly pastels or the timeless black and white.
