Add global flavour to modular kitchens

Copy the Minimalistic Design Philosophy of Japanese Kitchens

The Zen design ethos demands stripping down all non-essential elements, leaving a simple, elegant looking kitchen. Remember, less is more while incorporating this minimalistic style.

The colour palette is clean and fresh, with a lot of white and pastel shades. Understated floral patterns and bamboo motifs are prominent. You can add a touch of Japanese design to your kitchen with floral patterned cabinet shutters, utensils and jars. Set up a small herb garden to bring nature into your kitchen space.

Mimic the Warmth and Open Spaces of American kitchens

Traditional American kitchens tend to have a lot of antique wood surfaces and graceful design elements like arches and panelling. The colour palette is very subdued and mature, leaning towards white, beige and cream. You can add a slide-out pantry cabinet, wooden shelves and baskets to mimic a wholesome and warm American kitchen.

A modern American kitchen involves anything from a dedicated industrial look to casually experimental layouts. The colour palettes also tend to be very different, with bright, cheerful blues and yellows, or bold reds and greens.

Add a Touch of Rustic Old World Charm with Mexican/Latin American Kitchens

Usually designed to be used by one cook in the family, they tend to have a cosy feel. However, the palette is bright and bold with a lot of blues, vibrant oranges, and reds. Choose bright and glossy cabinet shutters, containers, utensils, etc.

Clay tiles and red bricks play a significant role, both as panelling and on countertops. Consider adding a backsplash or tiling the area between the countertop and cabinets with red brick/veneer.

Design Your Kitchen with European Flair in Mind

The traditional French kitchen might have a lot of stone tiles and wood surfaces to impart an Old World feel. Its modern counterpart has a radically alternative feel with bold yet classy colour choices, from hot pinks to fiery reds.

Italians lean toward structure and organisation. The area is designed in a way that gives the cook maximum access and minimum disruption. The main dining area is close to the cooking area.

Choose the Elegant Style of Classic English Kitchens

Compact appliances and sophisticated electronic systems are the centre of a modern English kitchen. Natural wood surfaces and pastel hues play a big role and add a European flair to your kitchen.

Consider incorporating a wooden lattice design like a classic English rose trellis as a shelf or wall garden! The latticed panes and pigeonhole shutters of Aristo’s cabinets do this job well. These kitchens offer a quintessential British look with 5-piece pastel veneer cabinets, futuristic chimneys and hobs.
