To make our kitchen look good, we don't need too many things. Modern trends are leaning towards more practical and minimalist designs where less is more. This creates a very elegant and understated space that is as functional as it is comfortable.

Order is prioritized in these kinds of kitchens along with pure colours and monochromatic backgrounds. These are all features of minimalist style that we can apply to our own cooking area. We can also opt for more neutral surfaces, soft textures and simple furniture, increasing the feeling of spaciousness. 

In fact today on homify, we curated 10 modern and minimalist designs that will inspire you to considered that less is more. 

1. Perfect elegance

When it comes to minimalist style, it's important to prioritize pure and simple designs. This kitchen is the perfect example, showing how beautiful and austere a simple kitchen can be.

2. A sense of unity

In an open plan kitchen, you can incorporate a small breakfast bar that adds a distinctive and warm touch to the environment.

5. Comfortable and organized

Order is everything in the modern kitchen. It is essential to have an organized and neat cooking area that is convenient to use and hygienic. Due to all of the time that we spend in it as well as how much of a role it plays in a home, it's also a good idea to accommodate as many family members and friends as possible in this space.

Minimalism demands order aesthetically too. You want to create very free, open and simple places.

In this design, we can see how the furniture is functional and practical, while the counter tops are once again bare of anything that isn't absolutely necessary.

This is because there is plenty of storage space – a must for any minimalist kitchen.

7. An ideal combination

Many times we think that when our house has a particular style, it will not be possible to introduce any other themes or styles. However, if we come across this modern kitchen, we can see how it has been integrated into a rustic dining room. The brick wall packs quite a punch!

This is a great example of simple lines and a geometric design that neutralizes and balances shapes, textures and colours.

8. With a special touch

9. In black and white
