Our Top Modern Kitchen Inspiration
Kitchen trends come and go. Our ethos is to always be looking for great new kitchen ideas, and then consider whether they will still be both beautiful and practical in years to come. Having had the opportunity to work in the kitchen industry for over four decades, we’ve seen and even pioneered all sorts of wonderful kitchen ideas as the industry has changed and grown. Our favourite modern kitchen ideas include some of the newest kitchen technology, as well as some tried and tested kitchen solutions that we’ve been incorporating into our designs for many years.
Modern Kitchen Inspiration to Bring Your Dream Space to Life
Handleless Kitchens
For a modern streamlined kitchen, one of our favourite style ideas for your new kitchen is to go handleless. There have been some amazing advances in hardware that make the handleless approach as functional as it is beautiful. We pride ourselves in using Blum hardware for all our cabinets, and Blum’s four motion technologies for lift systems, doors and pull-outs allow infinite possibilities for hand-less kitchens. Whether you opt for an electrical or mechanical solution, there is no doubt that handleless kitchens are more user-friendly than ever, and are one of our best pieces of modern kitchen inspiration.
Sparkling and Filtered Water
There’s nothing like sparkling filtered water to make you feel just a little bit fancy, which is why installing a chilled and sparkling filtered water tap in your new kitchen is another great modern kitchen idea. There are several brands and systems to choose from, some of which also offer instant boiling water too. Filtered water not only tastes better: a filtration system also helps to remove impurities from piping in older homes or chemicals that may be found in Brisbane water. Opting for sparkling water on tap is better for the environment too, because it helps to reduce plastic waste from bottled soda water. This fun, healthy and eco-friendly kitchen trend is one that you’ll be thanking yourself for choosing in years to come.
The Integrated Dishwasher
Dishwashers are the best thing since sliced bread… at least, that was until we had integrated dishwashers! An integrated dishwasher allows you to discreetly hide your kitchen appliances, whilst maintaining the aesthetic of your kitchen, by integrating the dishwasher using a panel that matches your kitchen cabinets. We particularly love using integrated dishwashers in new Hamptons or shaker style kitchens, because you can easily uphold the traditional look by using a shaped profile door on your dishwasher. Integrated dishwashers are an excellent piece of modern kitchen inspiration, allowing for uninterrupted sleek lines.
Stainless Steel
Our final favourite bit of modern kitchen inspiration is stainless steel benchtops. Stainless steel is a hygienic and visually stunning choice for kitchens, If you are a home chef or self professed foodie, opting for stainless steel in your food preparation and sink areas is a premium choice you will love for years to come. These days you will see kitchens that incorporate two or more benchtop materials, such as stainless steel benchtop complemented by a marble kitchen island for food serving and casual dining.
