The idea of minimalist home design has risen in popularity over the past few decades, and it\u2019s not surprising why. Minimalism offers simplicity, a feeling of peace and tranquility, and is a timeless design style. LJ\u2019s experts can deliver a kitchen that is minimal<\/em> in design while maximizing <\/em>functionality!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trick #1: Minimal Means Less is More!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Part of opting for a minimalist kitchen means keeping it simple, which often requires a little bit of sacrifice. A good tip is to focus on the essentials and cut the rest. A major aspect of minimalism is uniformity and clean separation between elements. Use simple, modern hardware for cabinets and drawers, and opt for flat-front cabinets over ornate designs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These flat cabinets are incredibly sleek and contemporary.<\/em><\/p>\n

Neutral color palettes typically look best with limited splashes of color. Too many decorations can crowd your clean look, so choose a limited amount of decorations that make a big impact.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trick #2: Maximizing Storage Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kitchens store a lot of stuff, and a cluttered kitchen goes against your desired minimalist appeal. It\u2019s easier to keep countertops clear of clutter when you have ample storage space. LJ\u2019s can help you find cabinet solutions that optimize storage space, even in corners or unconventional kitchen layouts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trick #3: Hiding Appliances in Plain Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many minimalist kitchens feature mono-colored kitchen cabinets, or at least stick to only one or two colors. If all of your cabinets are matching, kitchen appliances can stick out like a sore thumb. When you customize your kitchen cabinets with LJ\u2019s we can incorporate cabinet doors onto appliances like refrigerators, freezers, and dishwashers. These appliances will be hidden in plain sight and your kitchen will look clean and uniform.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the ovens are not hidden, this refrigerator features cabinet doors to match.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another way to hide items in the kitchen is with your own \u201cstowaway\u201d or \u201cgarage\u201d for appliances. Typically, this is a cabinet with a closing door and can be used to hide small appliances like blenders, toasters, and coffee makers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Where is the coffee maker?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There it is!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trick #4: Introducing Induction Stovetops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the sleekest improvements in kitchen appliances in the latest years has been the growing popularity of induction burners. These consist of a ceramic plate that is electromagnetically heated to directly heat pans and pots for cooking. They\u2019re incredibly efficient at heating pans and come in very appealing flat designs. Their minimalist look compliments any minimal kitchen design.<\/p>\n
