A horizontal grouping of picture windows lets the outdoors into this nature-inspired, soft contemporary kitchen. An alcove ceiling with recessed and ambient lighting adds depth and dimension to a linear room.
Stacking cabinets or cabinet doors of the same size and shape adds interest to plain boxes. Frosted glass doors illuminated softly from behind add ambience to the kitchen. Undercabinet and hood-mounted lighting provide the chef with light while chopping and sautéing
Good design often features aesthetically pleasing through lines from the front to the back of the home. Cabinetry can be used throughout the home, not just in the kitchen, for attractive shelving and storage.
Tall, thin cabinets that look like pillars add storage and design to this contemporary kitchen. The edge of the black island countertop mirrors the curve of the sheets of glass in the light fixture suspended above it.
Sleek black appliances, a black granite island countertop, and cherry-stained slab cabinets from Neff create a more formal contemporary look. These homeowners chose to switch up the design norm by placing the cooktop under the divided-light windows and the stainless steel sink on the island.
A round slab of granite raised above the main island acts as a bar top. Vertical-grain wood-veneer panels conceal the professional-size built-in refrigerator.
In this loft-style home, a kitchen peninsula helps define the cooking and eating areas without blocking the magnificent view seen through floor-to-ceiling windows. Red and blue accent tiles add color to wood cabinets and black and stainless steel appliances.
Flanked by glass-front cabinets, and with a pot rack mounted on the wall below, this cooktop’s chimney-style ventilation hood becomes the main focal point of this soft contemporary kitchen.
A glass canopy vent hood complements the curved vertical-grain wood veneer cabinets with glass fronts. The minimalist design carries over the rolling butcher-block and stainless-steel island.
Stacking small square cabinets with in-cabinet lighting takes advantage of a tall ceiling and offers display space that doesn’t clutter counters. A green glass mosaic tile adds color to dark cabinets and countertops.

Contemporary Kitchens
Soaring ceilings accentuate the openness of this kitchen while pendant track lighting and a stainless steel canopy hood with a tall duct cover draw attention upward. Blue translucent glass panel cabinet doors subtly complement the room’s earthy palette.
A flat glass cooktop, slab cabinets and recessed pulls maintain clean lines and flat surfaces. Rich gray oak cabinetry with a brown finish provides a chic, stark contrast to a white CaesarStone quartz countertop.
Deep chocolate brown cabinets with crown molding add a traditional touch to this contemporary kitchen design. Glass cabinetry inserts and a glass bartop help keep the room light and fresh.
The designer recessed the wall ovens, a utility cabinet and a phone center in the space formerly occupied by coat closets.
Earthy colors and textures – a stone tile floor, granite countertops and a glass tile backsplash – soften the
cold contemporary look of the stainless steel cabinets and appliances.
Details make the difference: Metal accent tiles make this stone tile backsplash sparkle. The wood floor stands out thanks to a border of red-stained planks.
Glass insets, a wine rack and straight edge molding add style to simple slab cabinets from Merit Kitchens. A curved granite slab countertop with a bullnose edge matches the curves of the open shelving, while curved cabinet pulls match the handles of the KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator.
The elevated, curved counter separates the kitchen from the sitting area and serves as a buffet and snack bar. A white battened ceiling complements the numerous skylights and windows.
Replacing a full wall with a bar-height counter opened up this small condo kitchen. Dark wood square-door cabinets with curved chrome pulls, taupe subway tile, funky bar stools and curvy track lighting make this a warm contemporary space.
Wood cabinetry adds warmth and contrast to stainless steel appliances and granite counters. A curved peninsula countertop with a bullnose edge defines the working and eating spaces in the kitchen.
kitchen, go with high-gloss lacquer cabinets in a bright primary color, like this brilliant blue. White stone or quartz countertops with straight edges and a high-arc, pro-style, pulldown faucet complete the minimalist style.

Photos - Modern Kitchen
This modern kitchen design pic illustrates free-flowing lines in both the unusual light fixture over the table and the shelf/light fixture above the peninsula. 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 glossy black floor tiles anchor and help to define the kitchen area in this ultra-contemporary design. 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.
Gleaming stainless appliances are mixed with pale wood and white walls for an up-to-the-minute, modern kitchen design. This makes for a light and bright area to work in.

Modern Kitchen Design Pictures
The dark wood finish is beautifully balanced with light reflective surfaces in this modern kitchen design. Very chic, low-backed stools take their rightful position at the eating end of the long island.
The natural light pours into this very contemporary kitchen. White, a color often associated with contemporary design, is used throughout the space creating a very light and airy atmosphere. Two layers of horizontal upper cabinets and large, deep drawers provide an abundance of storage. The orange-red color pops against the white shell.
Storage will never be an issue with the large cabinets in this modern kitchen. The island provides even more storage and workspace along with a table-type extension for an eating area. An interesting feature of this design is that the toe-kick has been eliminated from some of the wall cabinets giving them a floating feeling.
Something you are going to see more and more often in modern design is wood cabinetry presented with the grain running horizontally as opposed to the traditional vertical direction. The cabinets in this contemporary kitchen design picture have a mottled finish with dark brown and grey tones. The grey tones are further enhanced through the use of stainless appliances.
Here is an interesting color combination - pale yellow cabinets with a dark chocolate brown for the countertop material. The frosted glass doors break up what would otherwise be a bland expanse of upper cupboards. The area above the glass doors is a great niche for displaying special items and highlighting them with the recessed lights above.
Is this modern kitchen from the 60's, or the new millennium? The clean lines, smooth surfaces and simplistic quality are what create the modern feel in this design. The only giveaways to the real period of the design are the stainless steel appliances, the new rangehood and the microwave oven.
This is a cutting edge kitchen design. The space is practically void of color with the exception of some fresh fruit in a stainless steel bowl and a small assortment of cooking accessories.
A hot design in cool colors. If time travel was possible, you might be looking at a kitchen from 20 years in the future. An abundance of horizontal lines create a sense of movement within this space.
