Raw Organic

Nature-based Kitchen Design

Raw Organic is a continuation on the evolution of rustic elements in home interiors. It is often described as earthy or nature-based influences, both the colors and textures of this style are derived from environmental purity. Color tones are seasonal or landscape inspired and tend to be botanical yet muted enough so that they blend harmoniously in the space rather than shout out bold statements. Textures also play a huge part in this trend and favor showcasing the natural beauty of wood through very dry, arid ash gray and bleached blonde colors or mid to light tones of browns you might find on the forest floor.

There are many ways to dress this kitchen design style, but the inclusion of biophilic design elements tends to be a focal point. That can be achieved through large landscape windows that bring the exterior environment inside, could be organic finishes introduced in the form of stone for the floor, counters or backsplash or it could even be the effortless inclusion of naturally toned wood stains on a cabinet that enhances the true beauty of real wood.

The mix and consideration of these details are balanced and refined in their basic simplicity. Minimal with no unnecessary fuss, just the shear pleasure of what nature has to offer on display.

Soft Modern

Minimalism + Casual Kitchen Design

Soft Modern has a growing appeal as many homeowners who still strive for clean lines and minimal clutter in their interior design, but also have a growing fondness for the importance of a comfortable space that affords them simple pleasures for promoting relaxation.

This kitchen design style inspires the best of both where minimalism and casual become mingled in the most approachable way. Light and bright, with open views, are still critical for creating that streamline sense of uninterrupted space but materials and shapes have a softer edge to them.

Some warmth or personalization are introduced in the form of wood tone or pops of color and linear designs that may have once been contemporary and slightly sterile are still absent of excess but enhanced with curated details that offer a visual break in the otherwise clean aesthetic. Thoughtfully sleek with a simple, but personalized balance of interesting elegance that elevates the livability to the comfort of the individual.
