Whole-House Design Case Study | A Minimalist Kitchen That Even Those with Obsessive-Compulsive Tendencies Will Love

Here’s how to achieve a minimalist kitchen that even those with obsessive-compulsive tendencies will love—just remember these key points. First, choose white as the primary color: it makes the kitchen feel more spacious, and white is exceptionally resistant to visible soiling—oil splatters and dust wipe away effortlessly. Second, cabinetry design: extend cabinet doors to the ceiling; omit edge banding on both sides; match baseboards to the cabinet doors in color; and adopt a handle-free design for clean, uncluttered lines. Third, appliance integration: select all major appliances before designing the cabinetry, so the designer can precisely allocate space according to each appliance’s dimensions—refrigerators, dishwashers, and range hoods are all fully integrated.
