The modern kitchen is characterised by a minimalistic and clutter-free look, a design that is loosely categorised as a design style between traditional and contemporary. Modernism originated in the latter part of the 19th century and was known for abstract thinking in a search for new forms of expression. A modern style kitchen is simple and clean looking encompassing all that is sleek and streamlined. The key to developing a modern kitchen that makes a lasting impression is to incorporate both form and function.
