Key Design Components to Keep in Mind When Designing Contemporary Kitchen Cabinets for Your Tampa, FL, Home

You’ve officially decided that the time has come for new kitchen cabinets. Your existing kitchen décor does not complement your aesthetic preferences and it’s not working for your functional needs. Whatever your reasons are for revamping your kitchen, know that custom cabinets are almost always the best solution. And contemporary cabinet designs are quickly becoming some of the most popular custom cabinet styles. Stick around as we dive deeper into this cabinet style and the ways that you can achieve it in your new kitchen cabinet design.

What Are Contemporary Kitchen Cabinets?

Before we get into the nitty-gritty about designing contemporary cabinets, let’s dissect the term “contemporary.” This design concept often resembles the current style of the day. Today, kitchens that boast a contemporary design often feature a blend of mid-century construction, natural materials, neutral colors, and a few traditional design elements. To incorporate elements of modern design into your Tampa home’s kitchen, invest in custom cabinets from a master carpenter that has years of design experience, like AlliKristé.

Cabinets are often a dominant feature in your kitchen, especially in contemporary designs. When designing your contemporary kitchen cabinets, keep the following characteristics in mind:

A Full-Overlay Construction

Modern cabinets are often designed and installed with hidden frames. This provides a smooth appearance that will complement the typical streamlined motif associated with contemporary design. With it, you’ll want to choose cabinets that have sharp and clean edges for a refined and sleek look.

Organization

The No. 1 priority of custom, contemporary kitchen cabinets is organization. A well-designed kitchen is an organized kitchen, so don’t be afraid to experiment with high-end details while crafting a design for your cabinets.

Horizontal Lines

The goal, when designing contemporary kitchen cabinets, is to create a seamless cabinet profile that melds into the background of your kitchen. The cabinets, in that sense, become one with your kitchen. Keep this horizontal concept in mind in the layout of your cabinets and countertops.

Sleek & Simple Hardware

If you choose to add hardware to your contemporary kitchen cabinets, stick with a simple and sleek design. Stay away from ornate designs that could otherwise visually clutter the profile of your cabinets. For the finish, choose from natural materials like wood, stainless steel, brushed nickel, and chrome.

"I contracted with Allikriste to handle the custom cabinetry for a complete home remodel, including kitchen, four bathrooms, laundry room and wet bar. Tom Pitzen listened to my thoughts and designed beautiful and functional cabinets and helped pick out the ideal hardware to match my selected plumbing fixtures. On the all-important install, Joseph Siddons the installation manager and Vinnie the installer took the time make sure all cabinets, glass and hardware were installed perfectly. Too often, the trades now-a-days try to get in and out as fast as possible, with "that's good enough" being the mission for the day. I call them the 90% people. In my experience, that's not the people at Allikriste, everyone there wants the job to be a masterpiece. They are the 110% people. Without hesitation, I say that for the entire remodel production, Allikriste was the star of the show."
