We spend a lot of time in our kitchens today, doing more than just putting together a quick meal or cooking an elaborate dinner.
In fact, it would be fair to call the kitchen the workhorse of the home. It is the place we eat with our family, gossip with friends over endless glasses of wine, and maybe even indulge in our favorite hobbies like baking.
With so much going on in the space, it is almost difficult to imagine the kitchen with a minimalist aesthetic.
But just because minimalism is all about embracing the idea of less is more, that does not mean that you have to part with your kitchen essentials.
The trick lies in maintaining a clean appearance with pared down and concealed elements. So, are you ready to take on the challenge and achieve a minimalist cooking space?
How Do You Achieve a Minimalist Kitchen
To keep your kitchen minimalist, here are a few things you should do:
-
Opt for a monochrome palette
There is nothing like a monochromatic palette to reduce the visual clutter in your kitchen. It means there is less for the eyes to focus on. Use a calming and timeless palette of neutral hues and soft grays to make sure that all the shapes and textures in the space can blend together in a cohesive manner instead of contrasting against each other.
- Do not store more cookware or serveware than you need
Unless you regularly cook for dinner parties for your family and friends, you certainly don’t need a 15-piece serveware set. If you have a small family or just one or two roommates, and rarely have a lot of people over, it is best to cut down on the number of plates, pans, bowls and other essentials, to only that which you need everyday.
- Choose simple, clean cookware
Your goal when designing a minimalist kitchen should not just be limited to the color of the walls or the number of appliances. You should also invest in minimalist cookware, such as Kaico kettles and milk pans, which are designed to add to the minimal look. Such cookware, even when displayed on open shelves, do not look cluttered or too busy.
- Keep your counters clutter-free
Do you have habit of leaving things on the kitchen countertops when you cannot find any other place to store them? If your answer is yes, we suggest you stop doing that. A major part of maintaining the minimalist aesthetic is keeping your counters clutter-free. So, if you don’t feel like putting away your keys and receipts everyday, find them another permanent home that is not your countertops.
