At Pamela Hope Designs, we are continuously working with clients who are planning high-end interior design projects. One of the questions we get most frequently from our clients is what are the interior design concepts that are here to stay? We wanted to share with you our list of the top six that will stand the test of interior design time. Read all about the concepts we believe here to stay.
Concept #1
Minimalism in Kitchens
When we think about minimalism in kitchens it is about a design look and feel. Minimalism can improve the usability of the kitchen by focusing on the elements that our clients desire and removing those that are extraneous. Usually we see minimalism with clean lines and integrated storage spaces ideal for making the most of your space. The design element of minimalism works very well in small spaces where storage is key. As well, we see this working in larger spaces where our clients are desiring a specific smart and clean look. If you’re an avid cook or kitchen gadget lover, having smart storage can make all of the difference from a kitchen that feels filled with clutter to one that is organized and efficient. Minimalism is something that is here to stay however you define it for your home. Nearly everyone seeks more simplicity in their lives. Streamlining your kitchen goes a long way towards that goal. Below you will see a sleek and efficient example of a kitchen we designed for a favorite client. You can read more about minimalism from us here.
