Minimalist kitchen design ideas
Creating a kitchen layout, whether for a small or large area, comes with several considerations – including effective ways to ensure that the result is streamlined, clutter-free and visually appealing.
Why choose a minimalist kitchen and how to create it?
A contemporary minimalist kitchen, when designed right, can easily exude elegance. Whether you go for a crisp white look enhanced with marble-effect tiles for a splashback or worktop – such as Atlas Concorde’s Marvel Meraviglia – or create harmony with concrete effect tiles from Boost World collections that match cabinetry, it’s easy to refresh a kitchen design.
Stone effect tiles are also minimalist kitchen winners, as they are durable yet sophisticated, and available in several styles to choose from.
Modern minimalist kitchen
A classic, modern minimalist kitchen with an evergreen feel embraces features that give it a contemporary look. Also, it optimally leverages the space it occupies. A good example of this is using a kitchen worktop that doubles up as a storage unit for crockery and cookbooks – the extra functionality ensures the kitchen retains its minimal tone and doesn’t have room for clutter.
Strong design lines underpin the style of a modern minimalist kitchen, with a strong focus on remaining simple and functional.

Japanese minimalist kitchen: elegance and zen harmony
Compact and organised are two words that define a Japanese minimalist kitchen. However, these types of minimalist kitchens also embrace wabi-sabi concepts, which champion the use of asymmetry, natural materials and simplicity.
For instance: a Japanese minimalist kitchen could have an oversized marble counter slab and wood look flooring, or beautifully demonstrate the concept of shibui, which is stripped down of “flashy elements” to simply bring forth an elegant look.
Often, Japanese kitchens are designed as open-plan spaces, and the elegance that these styles call for can be enhanced with floor and wall tiles in muted colour palettes.
Also, bringing the outdoors inside is another characteristic of minimalist kitchen design, so consider adding plants to your kitchen design to infuse it with natural elements.
