What makes a mid century modern kitchen? Cabinet styles are typically simple with little detail, such as flat-fronted or slim shaker designs. These minimalist forms are brought to life under rich wood tone, strong hues, and sometimes even graphic patterns. Aesthetics range from understated to wild organic and geometric motifs. Contrasting materials and textures build a wealth of visual interest too. Accent furniture is finished with shining chrome and signature tapered legs. Sleek lines form striking silhouettes, bound in leatherette. In this collection of 40 kitchens, we’ll look at how to combine the mid century modern spirit with contemporary surroundings, and some favourite features to note.
