From Paratureforma we give you the keys to create your perfect kitchen, in pristine white and contemporary style.
Choosing the furniture
Although it may seem obvious, to design white minimalist kitchens it is essential to choose a type of furniture with straight and clean lines, in white, of course.
Choosing the right fronts, handles and finishes is essential to create the perfect kitchen.
- Plain fronts for white minimalist kitchens. In this case, forget about cabinet and drawer fronts with moldings and go for completely plain and unadorned fronts.
- As far as possible, avoid the use of conventional handles. It is preferable to use a push-opening invisible handle system rather than a handle, although if you are inclined to install a handle model, look for a very clean and sober design, with straight lines and minimal appearance.
- Types of finishes. In white minimalist kitchens you can opt for any type of finish, depending on what you prefer or need to convey:
- White lacquers are the most used in white minimalist kitchen designs; if you choose this alternative you will only have to choose the type of gloss, between glossy, matte or satin.
- Glossy or extra glossy finishes are perfect if you want to multiply the feeling of spaciousness and brightness of the space, as they act as a mirror, reflecting natural light.
- On the other hand, the material finishes of white minimalist kitchens, in matte or satin, go more unnoticed, are soft and very elegant.
The most suitable countertops to design minimalist white kitchens
There are a multitude of materials to use for countertops and backsplashes in minimalist white kitchens.
If you are looking for a ‘total look’ in pure white, go for a quartz countertop, a light and resistant material; synthetic resin, a soft, resistant proposal that allows you to produce long lengths ofto manufacture long lengths without joints without joints; ceramic stoneware, a material increasingly used in countertops due to its impermeability and resistance to scratching, or laminated countertops, a more economical solution, although less resistant to shocks or heat.
Although you can decide for an all-white countertop, you can also design a white minimalist kitchen with a contrasting countertop, such as wood, stainless steel or any of the options mentioned above, in a tone other than white, although in sober and neutral colors, such as grays, browns and blacks, without losing the intended contemporary and minimalist aesthetic.
Trendy floor and wall coverings
Floor and wall coverings play a key role in the design of white minimalist kitchens.
As with countertops, you can opt for a type of pavement or coating in white, to create a pristine and monochromatic space, or choose tiles in neutral tones, which provide a certain contrast that can be very flattering, without leaving behind the true essence of minimalism.
However, in the case of this type of kitchens, it is preferable that you choose large format tiles, to minimize the joints as much as possible and enjoy a greater sense of continuity in the space.
For white minimalist kitchens open to the living and dining room, you must take into account how the floor of the living area is, to choose pieces that go in harmony with the rest and, if you can not install exactly the same type of flooring, it is preferable to choose a completely different floor: for example, if the living room floor is wood, place the kitchen floor of porcelain stoneware or cement or conversely, if the floor of the living and dining room is stoneware, use wooden slats in the kitchen.
A question of textures
Designing a white minimalist kitchen does not mean that the space has to be too boring and aseptic, since the textures of the different materials applied are essential to provide volume and structure to the space.
Therefore, you can add these textures on the countertop, the backsplash or in the wall coverings, using tiles with certain roughness or 3D designs, one of the most relevant decorative trends of the moment.
Paneled appliances
If you are thinking of renovating your kitchen and you like this solution of style and color that we present today, we recommend that you panel the main appliances, such as the refrigerator, washing machine and dishwasher, so that you get to visualize smooth and impeccable fronts.
How to add warmth details without losing the minimalist essence
In addition to the play of texture provided by the different materials, you can add a touch of warmth to the space with accessories, small appliances, kitchen utensils and kitchenware, and accessories.
Although in essence, in white minimalist kitchens you should do without everything unnecessary and superfluous, do not give up the small details that add a special touch to the room, such as a solid wood cutting board, gold, chrome, black or rose gold faucets and decorative designer lights. The result will be spectacular!
