Neutral tones and natural materials add to the simple, luxury feel of the space. To add an industrial touch, mix gray cements with the wood tones for warm yet sophisticated ambiance.
10. Luxurious Bold Monochrome
For a truly chic modern kitchen, stick to matte or glossy cabinets and the same pattern for your floor tile and countertop.
In this example, the black marble countertop pairs with the marble tile flooring to create unity and luxury in the space.

Don’t underestimate the importance of lighting in a kitchen. The different light styles you use affect the overall mood of the space.
For a cozy, luxurious kitchen, always go for warm light hues such as soft yellows and oranges.
These circular lights, along with the shelf lights and under-cabinet lighting give this sleek black kitchen a sophisticated, modern feel.

For a simple, rustic kitchen design that works well in a small space, opt for light wood tone cabinets with hidden handles.
Stainless steel appliances add a high-end metallic accent that helps to create a luxury, modern feel.
13. Modern Kitchen Bar Layout
A simple color scheme is an easy way to make a space feel high-end. In this case, black, white, and gray paired with stainless steel work together to create a contemporary kitchen.
For an easy, stylish storage solution, add a wine glass rack above an open shelf! Additionally, wall art is a great way to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral space.
14. Small Kitchen Design
Opt for sleek, handle-less cabinets in a small kitchen to give the space a more open-feel. Light walls, tabletops, and countertops help to open the kitchen up.
Neutral colors like gray, browns, blacks, and wood tones give the space an easy chic feel. Simple cabinets and chairs as well as clean countertops also aid in crafting a modern kitchen!
15. Small Modern Island Solution
Looking for more small kitchen designs? Smaller kitchens may not have room for a full island.
If you don’t have the space, try a table jut-out like the one pictured to give you more counterspace while keeping the room compact and functional.
16. Black and White Modern
Black and white is a classic, clean kitchen design. In this example, the marble countertop and backsplash bring the space together, while the white orb lights add geometric variance to the kitchen.
The stainless steel faucets add luxury and simplicity to the space, with the black oven hood adding to the design.
17. Luxury Chestnut Wood
Chestnut wood is the perfect wood tone for a warm, inviting kitchen. Adding ambient light in the form of yellow bulb under-cabinet lights helps add luxury to the kitchen.
The integrated appliances, namely the fridge in this case, keep the room unified, creating a contemporary kitchen that is both aesthetically pleasing as well as practical.
18. Bright Yellow Kitchen
If neutrals aren’t really your style, go instead for a bright pop of color. Yellow is a great color for a kitchen as it exudes joy and happiness.
