Get the look: Contemporary family kitchen design

If we asked you what room in your house you spent the most time in, what would you say? For most, we’re pretty sure the answer would be the kitchen. Cooking, dining, spending time with the family. Your kitchen really does end up being the hub of your home. So here is how to create a contemporary family kitchen design. Using one of our very own products, the 4×4 table, that also goes by the name of Butterfly.

Butterfly is a beautiful wooden dining table that in its normal state seats 6 people, however with a little bit of magic and the turn of a few leaves it converts effortlessly into a table that seats 14. So it’s the perfect starting point for creating a contemporary family kitchen that revolves around spending more time together.

The Butterfly table comes in a range of different finishes. From wild carbon oak, to ash grey, to canaletto walnut, but we think that the natural ancient oak is the perfect choice for a contemporary family kitchen scheme.

The biggest trend in kitchen designs that we are seeing at the moment is for a combination of dark and light cabinets, alongside beautiful marble style quartz work surfaces. If the space allows for it, there will definitely be an island or at the very least a peninsular. And this will of course have some form of statement pendant light hanging over it.

A mix of textures is key to creating a real open plan modern kitchen scheme. Mixing metals, with wood, stone and softer textures like velvets and linens gives this big open plan space the real wow factor.
