Create A Focal Wall (Image 1 of 15)
We love how the space in this kitchen is broken up with a feature wall clad in a dark wood and given the focal point of a wall hung fire – perfect for dining spaces, too. Linear range, Smeg.
Gloss Is Glam (Image 2 of 15)
Gloss and colour are this season’s big design statement – but you needn’t go upmarket for the look – try Ikea first. Abstrakt red kitchen, Ikea.
Pare It Down (Image 3 of 15)
No handles on show, and a worksurface that blends invisibly with the splashback – and you’re talking super smooth and contemporary. Stone Age.
Fit Freestanding Units (Image 4 of 15)
Freestanding kitchens always look contemporary, especially if accessorised with large pendants at the island or breakfast bar. Bravad, Ikea.
Choose Practical Dark Wood (Image 5 of 15)
Dark wood is still very on trend – what’s more it hides marks and dirt and is very tough. Walnut kitchen, Harvey Jones.
Buy A Budget Lookalike (Image 6 of 15)
Dark wood is generally very expensive, so why not go for a great DIY shed lookalike? We love the Lovara, Homebase.
Be Practical (Image 7 of 15)
Like the look of stainless steel but not the idea of all the cleaning that goes with it? Go for a compromise, with this affordable Modena kitchen, Homebase.
Make The Most Of Light (Image 8 of 15)
Want to maximise the light in your kitchen? Choose units with a reflective surface – they’ll heighten the feeling of space, too. Modena kitchen, Homebase.
Put Black In Big Spaces (Image 9 of 15)
Black is no longer an acquired taste in kitchens – it’s the done thing. Our advice? Keep it for larger spaces only. Torino, Homebase.
Get Good Storage (Image 10 of 15)
Need all the storage you can get? Give yourself wall to floor cupboards for all your clutter and keep the cooking and washing at the island area. Ideal for a large kitchen/diner/family room. Nexus, Ikea.
Show Off Smart Storage (Image 11 of 15)
Vast appliances and a mix of hidden and on-show storage are two of the keys to a successful contemporary kitchen. Black walnut kitchen, Chamber Furniture.
Add Pattern For Interest (Image 12 of 15)
Bold prints are in for wallpaper, so why shouldn’t kitchen walls be given the same treatment, either with wallpaper or mosaic tiles. Rubrik kitchen range, Ikea.
Invest In Good Lighting (Image 13 of 15)
Good lighting is a must to show off your new units – think pendants, under shelf, under cabinet and spotlights. Cream Gloss, B&Q.
Contrast Old With New (Image 14 of 15)
Bare brick is such a great way to contrast with and show off the sleek lines of a contemporary kitchen – just remember to seal the brick before you cook… Cool kitchen, John Lewis of Hungerford.
Up The Style With Posh Appliances (Image 15 of 15)
Even if you save money on your units, spend out on a super posh hob, hood or fridge – it’ll make your kitchen look twice the price. Gloss White, B&Q.
