40 Aesthetic Kitchens: Inspiring Culinary Skills

Clean and serene, this minimalist white kitchen design is visually softened by smooth curves and warm natural wood accented pieces.

Bold and balanced. A unique kitchen pendant light dramatically drops a hanging orb into the center of a balanced walnut and white kitchen fixture. The white light is perfectly contrasted by an insulated walnut volume that is intentionally mounted behind the piece.

Another striking lighting fixture dominates this contemporary kitchen design. Cabinets are subtracted from this arrangement completely to allow the oversized luminaire to have its proper space.

In this simplified kitchen design, a wall of open kitchen shelf provides all the visual interest. By changing the dishes and the ceramics that are displayed there, it is possible to change the whole atmosphere of the kitchen.

Cork stools and a thick wooden dining table evoke a modern rustic aesthetic in this upscale kitchen dining room. A gray marble countertop transforms one end of the wooden table into a functional island with a kitchen sink.

White, bright, and nature kissed. White marble and bright white kitchen units form a luxuriously clean look here, while indoor plants, matching green kitchen stools and emerald green dining chairs add an edifying color.

The Midas kitchen. This taupe kitchen design gets the Midas touch with an amazing metallic gold kitchen back, in addition to a compatible shelf, gold hardware and a coordinated faucet.

Create interesting spaces with curves. Fashion curves, arches and runway motifs are seen everywhere in the indoor scene now, and this well-designed kitchen is no exception.

Another curvy kitchen island, this time with a full runway silhouette and a stone finish.

An all-stone kitchen design creates an appearance of luxury and permanence. This white marble kitchen receives an unexpected shake-up with dark contrasting, unique kitchen pendant lights.

Microcement walls offer more opportunity when it comes to curves in the kitchen. This smooth stucco curves gently away from a wall of open shelf to complete rounded kitchen units.

It’s all about the arch in this elegant space, where a gorgeous marble backsplash extends to the ceiling line.

This arched doorway leads into an airy kitchen with a beautiful vaulted ceiling. Wooden bar stools echo the shape of the doorway.

This marble kitchen back creates an understated background with a sparse vein. A white kitchen island maintains the clean look, along with an all-white sculptural hanging light.

On the other hand, curves can also present a futuristic appeal.

A patinated copper kitchen back gives this room a wonderfully aged appeal, like good wine.

A colorful clash of coral and water blue makes for a lively scene.

A solid red kitchen and color-matching backsplash make a punk, color-blocked statement.

Atmospheric lighting changes room. Hang a grand chandelier over a kitchen dining room to take the whole ensemble luxurious.

Template and more template. Just because you’ve drawn tiles on the floor doesn’t mean you have to go simply on the walls. Have the courage to go all out.

Spending time in the kitchen doesn’t mean you have to work with a hot oven. Set up a hammock across a solar kitchen window as a place to dream and drool over those recipe books, or just enjoy the delicious aromas of what’s already cooking.

Connect with Mother Nature. This natural stone kitchen island feels one with a glorious view from the outside. A window edge to edge maximizes the peace link.

This black stone kitchen island offers stronger access.

Some kitchens are only made for entertainment. Sprinkle the champagne and the canapés served on a bright champagne kitchen island, among bright accessories.

Hot copper units meet a cool gray table in this sharp modern kitchen design. Bright wall light competes with the metallic luster.

Wall color can change everything. Imagine this same space with a gallery white background and you will experience a completely different atmosphere of the extreme black island and mid-green main units. Unique wall color choices inject character and personality.

Kitchen stools are another ideal place to establish individuality. They can also be changed easily and relatively cheaply compared to equipped units.

If you’re on this color journey for the long haul, why not invest in some colorful appliances like this red oven and yellow Smeg fridge?

Clean, creamy and full of sunshine, this light and dreamy kitchen looks like a place to bake cookies.
