Inspiration #31
This week’s inspiration stays in the kitchen. Last week we looked at minimal kitchens with bare walls or open shelves. Today, let’s look at built-in cabinets for the minimal feel with some storage space.
This is the latest in a weekly post of residential architecture inspiration. If you want to see past weeks, you can go here. If you want to see them curated on my pinterest (sometimes before they even hit the blog), go here.
This is the least minimal of the kitchens today, but a good starting point to see what built-in cabinets in an all white, transitional space looks like. Borderline busy – I could’ve done without the crown molding at the range hood – but the monochromatic color helps keep it calm.
Back to a minimal kitchen, but with some warmer colors for these built-in cabinets. The drywall reveal around the ovens ensure a clean line and corner turn without the weird upper corner cabinet that dates most kitchens.
Back to minimal and white. The built-in cabinets encompass an integrated range hood, creating a sense of push/pull geometries that the eye perceives as planes and shapes and then moves on.
The glossy white built-in cabinets make this minimal space feel like part-kitchen, part-sterile science lab…which seems perfect for the owner/actor known best for playing the OCD Monica Geller.
These built-in cabinets on this minimal kitchen geometry show some side flair of dark, yet accessible storage space. Of course it’s wine that’s stored there, because you might as well make your favorite part of cooking easily accessible.
Speaking of wine, these built-in cabinets have a wine chiller as a part of their setup. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the door handle is wall-side, but that’s the only fault I can find amongst these clean lines.
