Minimalism can mean different things to different people. To some people, minimalism may reflect an appearance of simplicity and bareness, while others may envision an elegant, clean look that helps make interiors appear more spacious. One of the best places in your home to start this trend is your kitchen. Here, Contemporary Management Concepts, LLLP, discusses the top minimalist kitchen ideas for your Florida apartment.

You’ll seldom go wrong with a monochromatic palette or a palette with one main color in your kitchen. Monochromatic colors, like white, offer a harmonious, cohesive appearance with a simplified effort with regard to design due to the fact that there aren’t any color clashes. Choosing all white, all beige, or all neutral colors, for example, lets the rest of your apartment shine, all while maintaining a clean look in a space where you’ll likely spend a good amount of time cooking, cleaning, and so on.
Old cabinets and dresser drawers often feature opulent, shiny brass or steel hardware, oftentimes in the form of handles. More modern, contemporary designs, particularly for kitchens, using invisible hardware or hanging up shelves without hardware, for example, can streamline your look and create a cool, clean, and effortlessly classy appearance. Among the numerous benefits of minimalism in the kitchen is its ease of getting and maintaining cleanliness.
Another benefit of a minimalistic kitchen is that the neutral color palette gives a significant amount of room for decorative objects, like beautiful cookware, to shine! If your housing contract allows you to, you might consider putting up a hanging rack for a chic display of your cookware. If you’re looking for new cookware that is as functional as it is beautiful, consider copper or copper-clad pots and pans or, alternatively, stainless steel pots and pans.
When it comes to minimalism, materials matter. As a renter in an apartment building, you likely won’t be able to change the materials used to build your cabinets, countertops, floors, and walls. Yet, you can incorporate minimalist principles into your kitchen by carefully selecting which additional materials you bring into the space. Go for marble accents, like a white marble cutting board, or choose natural wooden features, such as a solid wood utensil holder.
