Contemporary Kitchens
Contemporary kitchen design is the style of the here and now in Fort Worth, Grapevine, Southlake, and Trophy Club. It incorporates prevailing stylistic preferences as well as elements from various other styles or eras, creating spaces for cooking and food preparation that are an eclectic mix of designs — from modern and traditional to rustic and classic.
Contemporary design is often confused with modern design, but the two terms should not be used interchangeably. Today’s contemporary styles simply borrow a lot of elements from the modernist design movements of the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, which are very popular right now. Examples of modern themes being integrated into contemporary design are the emphasis on horizontal lines, the incorporation of industrial and natural materials, and the use of monochromatic or minimalist color schemes. Within the next ten or twenty years, some other design practices might be considered “contemporary.”
Whereas modern design — as an historical concept — has an actual definition and scope, contemporary design affords homeowners more room for creativity, for mixing and matching, and for using current trends and materials.
Examples of contemporary kitchen elements are as follows:
- Sleek, functional, and ultra-modern appliances
- The use of contrasting, layered, and even patterned or textured surfaces, furniture, fixtures, and adornments, as opposed to the lack of ornamentation found in modern kitchens
- Sustainable architecture and the use of environment-friendly, salvaged or repurposed materials
Kitchens are a great place in which to include contemporary elements simply because of the amount of current trends and cutting-edge materials and technologies that can be used in building or remodeling one. At Woodall Construction Services, we understand that this emphasis on the “new” and forward-thinking standards are what makes contemporary kitchen design an attractive choice for many homeowners.
