What are the effective design options for adding character to a contemporary kitchen?

There are a number of effective design options to consider when it comes to contemporary kitchen design. From handle-less cabinet doors, to the colour scheme and tiling, every design decision will need to be centred around the contemporary design theme. But how can you add character to a contemporary kitchen through an effective design? Well, there are a number of effective options, including:

  • Using wood or timber effect features
  • Choosing stylish bar stools
  • Creating feature tiling

How can wood or timber effect features add character to a contemporary kitchen?

Using wood or wood effect in any kitchen adds warmth while still creating a neutral, natural visual style that can be very visually appealing. In a contemporary space, wood or wood effect has the benefit of being neutral, and complementing the sleek design style that contemporary design requires. On top of this, timber and timber effect fixtures can complement any shiny, almost sterile surfaces in the contemporary space and boost personality and character. As a result, this can be most beneficial for worktops and kitchen islands, where the wood will stand out from the cabinet material.

How can the right bar stools add character to a contemporary kitchen?

If your contemporary kitchen has a seating area, kitchen island seating or a breakfast bar, choosing the right seating style can be a good way to add personality and character to the space. The right bar stools for instance can help to complement the contemporary design scheme, while adding a pop of colour, or an aspect of visual interest, that can help to put your own taste on show.

How can feature tiling add character to a contemporary kitchen?

Finally feature tiling is an effective way to enhance the contemporary design of any space and create a visual impact. This can be created to display any pattern or design, or to use any colour combinations that complement your design scheme, but that also showcase your personal tastes and preferences.
