The kitchen can be said to be the epicentre of the house for many families as it is the food manufacturing area. Not only elders spend a huge amount of time cooking but also children who take a sneak peek at the kitchen bar in search of their favourite snack. The significance of the kitchen in everyday life means that it can get uncomfortable to unravel the space so that it goes up to the level of minimalist aesthetics. To make your kitchen simple and sleek, minimalist interiors are the best option. With features like marble-topped islands and natural coloured pallets, these kitchens can have that classy feel.

It is easy to maintain and clean a minimalist kitchen. It has the look of modern interior décor and chic. The world of minimalism helps us to alleviate the litters of a small house or a spacious one. To enhance the elegance of a minimalistic kitchen interior, you can use countertops/worktops of Silestone. Silestone is basically made up of 90% natural quartz. Hence it is exceptionally resilient and hard. It has a classy feel and is used for kitchen items like countertops and worktops.

So, if you are among the former one then you must take advantage of the same. It will be the best thing to do if you implement wide angled windows. This will bring more natural light to your kitchen and will give a bright look to the interiors of the same. If you are having a whitish texture to your kitchen then it’s an added advantage, because glossy/polished white surface reflects light.

• Construct a contemporary kitchen décor: To make the look of your kitchen effortlessly stylish, you should be working on the flooring and also the size of the windows. If you are looking to install tiles in your kitchen, then install ceramic tiles which have a classy look and also easy to clean; look for the ones which are according to the area and which won’t break by small impacts. Minimalism will only fit into place if your windows are properly decorated with dark coloured and small curtains. It will be better if you add two to three small thorns and grow inside your kitchen placing on the free space of your slab (provided that your kitchen space is big). Use a grey tint to your kitchen slab which will be in contrast to your surroundings. To bring a more contemporary look, one needs to check twice about what kind of Kitchen Island he/she is going to install. Not only the texture of the slab that the kitchen island possesses but also its size (according to his /her kitchen space) that matters. One will want storage if the room lacks space for the cabinet. Everything has to be considered to bring the trendy look.

• For the ones having a very small kitchen: If you agonise about the small size of your kitchen, then you must make it more vibrant to overcome your feeling. As you won’t be having enough space to install a classic kitchen island, you have to utilise every corner of the room. To optimise the storage, you have to set the floor and ceiling cabinets accordingly. Use ceramic tiles which will be the best thing to do as stains are a regular problem. Use splashbacks which are also made of tiles. It will be the best thing to do if you opt for Silestone kensho –under Zen series which will add a polished grey tint to your small kitchen. They are available in varied thickness; hence pick the one which best suites according to your kitchen flooring or work table. The interior designer must be already working on the type of lighting he/she is going to install in your kitchen because it matters a lot for the ones with less space. Look for the space you are giving to the seating arena. Make a simple bar-seating option and implement the counter overhang style which will provide space to place the chairs underneath when not in use.

• When one is planning for a U-shaped kitchen: Its said to be one of the most efficient and useful planning. It doesn’t require a kitchen island as all the work is done on the worktable. Hence, an elegant look to your worktable has to be given. As you are looking for the implementation of Silestone at your cooking area, then Silestone Iconic White slabs will be perfect. Talking about the nature of windows in this situation, glass windows help to deluge the space with natural light. A contrast between tiled flooring and a classic wall décor will make the space look elegant.

To wrap up all the above ideas that you have gone through, it comes to the conclusion that simplicity is the key that compliments minimalism. Space management can be done by your interior designer but the colour you are going to give totally depends upon you. It’s a true fact that lighting and colour both maintain a balance between the work we do (i.e. in the kitchen) and peace of mind. A vibrant look will keep you energise even when you apply them to your small sitting chairs or to your kitchen table.

Minimalism is achieved at that point of time inside your kitchen when you have settled your items which are frequently used. You obviously don’t want the huge container of rice to be placed outside somewhere where it is basically not necessary or you don’t want to place your kitchen knife inside the self. Hence, the management of your kitchen items has to be at the next level. When it comes to purchasing of a kitchen island for your kitchen space, look for the ones which are not only having a beautiful look to it but also giving you enough space inside where you can keep your dishes or something of that kind in an organised manner.
