How to Nail a Monochromatic Kitchen

Sourced From: Hemma Interiors - Wollongong, Australia.

This year we’ve seen a burst in colour, with Sage Green, Powder Blue and even Bold Plums often complemented by natural tones and textures to complete the look. Don’t get us wrong, we love mixing and matching and if you want to nail a two-tone kitchen, we’ve got just the thing, read it here. But we’re heading into monochrome territory. Think neutrals, textures and bold tones that create a cohesive and dynamic impact on a modern kitchen. The definite bonus of installing a monochromatic kitchen is that you only have to pick one colour, various shades and textures can be incorporated but one tonal palette is often all that is needed.

 Keep it simple with these timeless monochromatic moments.

Neutral

If you still want a bright and light space without having to go all white, neutral could be the perfect middle-ground. This soft grey palette reflects light and maintains an airy ambience. Incorporating a marble countertop and backsplash tie in a grey veining with a predominantly white base. The handleless profile of the cabinetry creates a seamless eye-line and enhances the neutral colour palette. The woodgrain features add more texture and warmth to the space for an uplifting contrast.

Texture

Appearances can be deceiving. This little beauty is made from a woodgrain finish, adding instant texture and interest in a small space. While a dark matt finish would be impactful and match the vibe of this space, the woodgrain offers differing shades and veining which allow it to pair well with the concrete walls and stainless-steel appliances. This industrial chic kitchen gets better with each look.

Modern living embraces clean edges and a cohesive design. All-white kitchens are an everlasting trend and are timeless in any finish. Embrace your inner minimalist and keep it ultra-modern with a slim cabinet profile and key accent pieces. The kitchen above highlights the wood-panelled ceiling with the angular kitchen design and black finishes. The clean and bright design allows the eye to travel up and makes the space feel expansive and luxurious. The woven chairs and dried flowers buffer the sleek lines and give the space warmth and texture.

Black-out kitchens are having a moment this year, and we’re here for it. Offset up timber tones and the expansive glass splash-back give this compact kitchen drama and height. Natural light is reflected off the glass and up to the white ceiling, flooding the space with much needed light and defining the profile of the cabinetry. Sleek stainless-steel appliances break up the seamless cabinetry, and the handles add definition and a subtle sheen.
