Splashes of red throughout the space add warmth and energy. The darkness of the flooring and lower cabinets is offset by the light wall color and the large window.

The open concept of this modern kitchen design makes the space feel larger. An oversized island makes up for a lack of workspace on the kitchen countertop. The fridge and dishwasher visually disappear behind panels that match the rest of the cabinetry.

Contemporary design often combines natural and industrial elements. This contemporary kitchen successfully blends these elements with a less is more approach. The high gloss of the cabinetry is repeated through the use of a glass backsplash.

The sharp edges of this modern kitchen design strike a very European tone. A warm and welcoming effect has been achieved with the bold yellow color scheme and the use of wood for the backsplash and countertop material. Visual proof that contemporary design does not have to feel cold .

This dramatic contemporary kitchen design provides gorgeous long expanses of stainless steel countertops for working on or simply admiring. Notice how the cabinet hardware mimics the refrigerator door pulls. Under-cabinet lighting makes the ceramic tile backsplash glow.

The space is full of funky finishes and textures from the smooth countertops, ceramic tile back wall and sleek rangehood to the warm dark wood of the lower cabinets and the added warmth of the golden wall color.

Contemporary design ideas can be incorporated into even the smallest of kitchens. The color of these cabinets is striking. While the simple, clean lines and minimal ornamentation in this kitchen give it a spacious feel.
