Kitchen Design Ideas 1. High contrast. One of the things that makes this kitchen so striking is the contrast between the black and white elements. White cabinets paired with a black countertop, the black backsplash behind the stove, and black fixtures give the kitchen a strong presence and help define the kitchen in an open space. 2. A (really really) open concept. I love the way this kitchen opens itself up to the living room. Its essentially a galley kitchen where one entire half of the kitchen is a floating island, allowing for maximum interaction between people in the kitchen and the adjoining living area. 3. The super-thick countertop edge detail. The countertop on the island features a super-thick edge detail, which is a great way to make your countertop seem more substantial and give it a little more visual weight. 4. Drawers. Look closely and youll see that about half of the lower cabinets here have drawers instead of doors. Drawers can make items in storage much easier to get to, since you dont have to reach into a cabinet — and theyre especially great to have in a kitchen like the one which doesnt have a lot of upper cabinets. 5. That pantry. I know youre all thinking about that amazing pantry. Its the first thing that caught my eye when I saw this kitchen, too. Its both beautiful and kind of a genius solution — instead of hiding the pantry away, this kitchen makes it the focal point. All the things that you would typically store on open shelving are right there within reach when the doors are opened, but when youre done in the kitchen, you can close the doors to keep dust and grime off your dishes. And below, more drawers. You can never have enough drawers.
