Finally Feel Comfortable In Your Space

3 Ideas For Updating Your Kitchen Cabinets With Small Modern Design Accents

by Camila Holland

If you love the sleek, airy ambiance that comes with a modern home design, you may decide you want to make a few changes in your kitchen. If so, use one or more of the following ideas for updating your kitchen cabinets with small modern design accents

Replace Your Cabinet's Hardware 

Although it may seem like such a small change, replacing your cabinet's hardware can instantly change the feel of your kitchen. While brass or porcelain handles and knobs may be common standbys for traditional or classic design, they do not typically belong in a modern kitchen.

To give your kitchen a clean, modern appearance, choose hardware made from stainless steel or crystal. You could also choose black knobs, especially if you have white cabinets. White and black often appear together in modern designs.

Take off Some of Your Cabinet Doors

Another part of a modern design is opening up spaces to give a room an airy ambiance. Having an area as open as possible can give an illusion of more space, as well as allows more light in a room.

While you may not have the ability to knock down walls to open up the space in your kitchen, you can remove cabinet doors. You could take the doors off of cabinets you normally do not use often so you can stage the area with square black plates or bright red cups.

Or, you could remove the doors on the cabinets you usually cannot reach. Then, place modern, abstract knick knacks which feature gliding lines and a myriad of shapes.

Paint the Back with a Primary Color

Another idea for modernizing your cabinets is to paint the backs with a primary color. Although most modern designs use black, white, or metallic tones, they often use bold hues of red, blue, or yellow to make a statement with a splash of color.

Painting the backs of your cabinets also adds depth to the spaces. The white cabinets featuring a bold primary color gives a geometric element to the area, increasing their modern appeal.

While making the above small changes to your cabinets can give your kitchen a more modern look, these ideas are only a few of the ways you can give the room a sleek, clean design.
