If you prefer a clean and uncluttered kitchen this design may be just right. There are so many interesting and unique features to this space.
- Simple shaker style cabinetry is accented with chubby chrome hardware, creating an interesting combination.
- Solid surface countertops are colored in a soft green that invites the outdoors in.
- An eating counter that has been lowered to table height creates an informal spot for breakfast or to grab a quick bite.
But perhaps the most interesting aspect of this kitchen design is the integrated wall of cabinetry and appliances. Notice that there are no overhead cabinets in this room. The pantry and storage doors hide all the necessities of a kitchen behind frosted glass doors lit from within.
The use of one color of wood creates a uniform look to this large space. Even the dining table and chairs are in the same wood tone. Recessed lighting and simple pendants allow an unobstructed view of the beautiful view outdoors.
The lack of artwork and/or accessories allows the beauty of the materials used to show through. Anything else would just appear to be clutter.
This streamlined kitchen would complement any mid-century home and make entertaining a breeze.
