Choose the Perfect Kitchen Design for Your Needs

Minimalist Kitchens

Also on the rise is what might be called the un-kitchen, where the more obvious kitchen elements (such as the refrigerator and upper cabinets) are downplayed or tucked out of sight, and the kitchen area is designed with the same sensibility as the living space it has merged with.

The fridge may be slipped discreetly into the island in the form of drawers, or it may be in an adjacent pantry, along with copious storage space and an extra sink, nearby but out of view.
