U-shaped kitchen design involves cabinets and appliances arranged on 3 adjacent walls in the kitchen to create a U-shaped layout. Offering a lot of storage options, this modern kitchen design works brilliantly in compact spaces and allows for ease of accessibility between cooking areas and cabinets. A minimal and modern kitchen island like this one bySarah Solis Design Studiois deceptively simple. With black cabinets, grayish-white tiles, and a wooden island top, it feels understated yet has more than ample counter space and storage. The white cabinets are dressed with gold pulls and a slab of black granite. The spacious center island is made of a large marble slab with plenty of room for food prep and seating.

No ornamentation or exterior models are imprinted to keep the kitchen interior design simple and classy. Traditional kitchens didn’t have many appliances hence the decoration was made of different furniture and textures. However, in a modern kitchen, the appliances themselves are a part of the show of the décor of the kitchen. A large modern kitchen requires all the essential appliances to be out in the open for regular use and not tucked away in a concealed space. You can have kitchen islands in the wider space, or dedicated zones for dining, or a small bar away from the kitchen.
