The simplest way we can describe Contemporary Kitchens is ‘of the present time’.
Contemporary Kitchen Design
What made a kitchen design, contemporary in the 1970s is far different from what makes a kitchen design, contemporary in the 2020s.
And the challenge in defining what a contemporary designed kitchen means in this presentation comes from the ever-changing nature of designs.
In this era, popularity comes from warmer colours, charcoal tones/ accents and premium fine wood grains.
This could mean a light white kitchen with woodgrain cabinets that display a horizontal grain. Or grey stone kitchen island benches a concrete style appearance. Or large tiled splashbacks. Or slim and simple handles. The list is endless.
Variances occur in the finer selection of colour tones, as well as skewing towards warmer hues that add to a homely feel in your kitchen. These serve as the foundation of the current contemporary kitchen style.

Key Design Cues of Melbourne Kitchen with Contemporary design
When creating Melbourne contemporary kitchens, some people like to go for subdued, natural colours; others like to incorporate splashes of teal or lime to add bright colours naturally.
- Kitchen cabinets with neutral colours such as grey kitchen colour are the safest bet for general appeal while still staying stylish
- The colour of the cabinetry can work as the base in the colour palette for other surfaces too
- Contrast can add a unique touch to the other elements in the kitchen
- Think out of the box and use bold colours
- Lighter colours below and darker ones above can give your kitchen an uplifting look
- For a more striking effect, use subtle colours mixed with bold cabinetry
Contemporary style kitchens can also be blended with other kitchen styles, creating more options for you such as contemporary country kitchens.
However, if contemporary kitchen design is not your style, Select Kitchens can assist you with other kitchen ideas like a classic kitchen concept, modern kitchen design, French Provincial or Hampton style kitchen.
