Modern kitchens of different styles: Which one is your favorite?

The kitchen is one of the places where we spend more time inside the house, that is why we have thought to share with you some modern kitchen ideas with which you can have a little fun seeing what is new this year, what is going on, what is used, and above all... what to try for our house. Let's see these then 20 modern kitchen designs.

1. MODERN KITCHEN DESIGN: INCLUDING MARBLE

In its natural form or through materials that imitate it. Marble is once again gaining strength in modern kitchens, as we can see in this one designed by interior designer Paula Duarte, who has chosen Silestone with a marbled effect for the sill. Black accents help modernize its classic finish.

2. MARBLE, GOLD AND WHITE: COMBO FOR MODERN KITCHENS

In the design of modern kitchens, the lines of the furniture are as important as their finishes. Here marble also conquers the large island, around which the rest of the kitchen furniture revolves. The golden handles, together with the lamps, are a very modern and trendy resource.

3. MODERN WOODEN KITCHEN

The floor with a hydraulic finish and the black details are key to achieving a modern point in this wooden kitchen. Also the fronts of the cabinets without handles and the white worktop.

4. MODERN KITCHEN OPEN TO THE SKY (A lot of light)

The most incredible thing about this kitchen is that, before the renovation, it was an outside area of the house – hence its stone wall, which was previously outside. I mean, it's an addition. In its design, all the furniture has been grouped on one side and the ceiling has been opened to provide it with light. And the modern point? The black lamps that hang in the small bar area give it away.

5. GRAY KITCHEN VERY MODERN AND CURRENT!

The gray color in decoration is directly related to a modern and very current style. And this kitchen is a good example of it: with straight lines, very purist and in which gray is the main protagonist. The white countertop and the marbled sill illuminate it and the wooden floor provides warmth, while creating contrast with the grey.

6. KITCHENS THAT DO NOT LOOK LIKE KITCHENS

The trend of opening kitchens to the rest of the rooms has led to the design of furniture that could well decorate any room. And with that maxim of camouflaging it, black and wood come together to achieve super modern environments. The golden lamps are basic to enhance its elegance and, even more, the feeling that it is not a kitchen. Although it is.

7. BLACK KITCHEN, ALWAYS MODERN, NEVER GOING OUT OF FASHION

Elegant, modern and very suffered. Black kitchens are perfect when there is plenty of space and there is no need to fight to enhance natural light at all costs. In fact, in this one the black furniture or the powerful presence of the wooden walls are not renounced, although the ceiling has been painted white, reducing its visual weight.

8. SMALL MODERN KITCHEN

This kitchen is an example of how strength is united: the modern design of its furniture and the microcement island contrast with the office set, made of wood and esparto grass. The result? A modern, practical and very cozy kitchen.

9. FINISHES THAT MODERNIZE A KITCHEN

It is true that the first thing that attracts attention in this kitchen are the three lamps that crown the original island. But if you look at the finish of the kitchen fronts, you will see that they flee from the classic to show off a glossy finish, very modern, and that multiplies the light.

10. MODERN AND TOWARDS THE INDUSTRIAL SIDE

You have already read us that wooden kitchens have returned, but not like the ones we knew. Now their foreheads are smooth and avoid unnecessary ornaments. The modern touch –and why not, also a touch industrial–, is provided by the black tap and the sliding door on rails.

11. LARGE, MODERN KITCHEN WITH LOTS OF STORAGE

This modern kitchen has been designed to meet the needs of its owner, a pastry chef by profession. That's why the island with a bar is huge and with tons of storage and a marble top, the best base for cooking.

12. MODERN KITCHEN WITH A BEACH SPIRIT

This small modern kitchen stands out for its subway-type brick sill, but with a glossy gray finish, it gives it that modern touch. Of course, the white furniture and the wooden countertop also contribute to this, a very current and trendy combination.

13. MICROCEMENT AND WOOD KITCHEN

This most current mix can not be. Microcement is a material that conveys modernity, ideal for surfaces such as countertops and backsplashes, and it becomes warmer with wooden furniture and hydraulic floors.

14. KITCHEN WITH A NORDIC AIR

El Nordic style is another of the standards of modern aesthetics. So the union of white and wood, an icon of the Nordic, is another infallible union.

15. WHITE + STEEL KITCHEN

Another sum par excellence of modern kitchens: white lacquered furniture and countertops, modern kitchen tables and stainless steel backs.

16. MODERN KITCHEN WITH BUILT-IN OFFICE

The current pace of life conditions the interior design of a modern kitchen. For this reason, kitchens with bar They are becoming more and more useful for breakfasts and quick meals.

17. NATURAL TOUCHES IN A KITCHEN

You already know that natural fibers and eco cooking is synonymous with today. So why not a modern kitchen with a basket lamp and wicker seats? The blue furniture is the icing on the cake.

18. KITCHEN IN WOOD AND RAW

The furniture in this kitchen, made of oak and steel, has been made by Carpintería Ramos and Metalista Belnox. The table, the Slot model, designed by Susana G. Hoffmann, is also made of wood and steel.

19. KITCHEN WITH STEEL BASEBOARDS

Finishes are important to a cool full ending. In this kitchen, design by Clara Valls with furniture by Gelse, countertop by Azul Acocsa and laminate flooring by Quick-Step, the furniture is finished off with a steel plinth.

20. KITCHEN WITH SLIDING GLASS DOORS

This kitchen, designed by Vive Estudio, joins the living area through fixed and mobile glass panels, with black iron frames. The mix of furniture with fronts in white, for the island, and in dark wood, for the rest, distinguish areas within the same environment. The ceiling lamp, in a modern style, reaffirms the aesthetics.

BONUS TRACK

As we are left with quite a few copies in the pipeline, we do not want to miss the opportunity to share them with you, so as a bonus track, we will share some designs of modern kitchens more… let's see.

STEEL AND MARBLE

In this other modern kitchen option we can see that opposites attract. The warmth of natural stone together with stainless steel looks so good in this current and chic modern kitchen.

BEAUTIFUL WHEREVER YOU LOOK AT IT

This kitchen, with custom-made lacquered oak cabinets and stools from Catalina House, has everything to be modern and charming. The detail of the tubular extractor hood is a good culmination.

ALL VERY PERSONAL

El modern style allows combinations as personal as the one made in this small kitchen open to the living room.
