Modern kitchens represent an architectural style, not merely an up-to-date interior. This kitchen exemplifies the modern principles of simplified forms and decorative use of the functional room elements.The repetition of the texture and shapes from wall ovens to metal cabinet door frames illustrate modern styling. The placement of the stainless steel refrigerator at the left end of the ovens creates a strong vertical visual that anchors the metal rectangles flowing to its right. A tapered kitchen island throws in a surprise shape that is nevertheless highly functional as a dining bar/cooktop/food prep area. The dark wood top cabinets are of varied heights, creating a feeling of movement in a room without curves. The wood flooring and aqua painted walls add visual warmth and coolness to contrast with the dark cabinetry. One thing is certain: modern kitchens aren't boring.
