Everyone knows the kitchen in a home is the most important room in any home. The kitchen is the place where families meet to chat while they prepare the meals for their loved ones. Therefore, the kitchen should be made as comfortable as possible. Now, for those of you who are looking modern contemporary kitchen design ideas or you are looking contemporary kitchen renovation or kitchen remodeling ideas, here we have some ideas of contemporary kitchen design for you. Created by Nils Finne, an American architect, he has completed the contemporary kitchen design renovation on his own home in Seattle, Washington. This is a new, highly crafted modern kitchen in a traditional Tudor home located in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. The kitchen design relies on the creation of a very simple continuous space that is occupied by intensely crafted cabinets, counters and fittings. Materials such as steel, walnut, limestone, textured Alaskan yellow cedar, and sea grass are used in juxtaposition, allowing each material to benefit from adjacent contrasts in texture and color.
The existing kitchen was enlarged slightly by removing a wall between the kitchen and pantry. A long, continuous east-west space was created, approximately 25-feet long, with glass doors at either end. The east end of the kitchen has two seating areas: an inviting window seat with soft cushions as well as a desk area with seating, a flat-screen computer, and generous shelving for cookbooks.
Overall, the kitchen brings a fresh new spirit to a home built in 1927. In fact, the kitchen initiates a conversation between the older, traditional home and the new modern space. Although there are no moldings or traditional details in the kitchen, the common language between the two time periods is based on richly textured materials and obsessive attention to detail and craft.
