Features of a modern kitchen

Sleek design with raw materials, straight lines, a minimalist aesthetic with smooth surfaces: the modern kitchen emphasizes visual clarity and elegance. More than a design, it represents a lifestyle with open, fluid, and functional spaces.

For those seeking serenity in an uncluttered decor, the modern kitchen is the perfect style. Focus on the essentials and breathe in the heart of a modern kitchen designed for your lifestyle.

Rochon helps you create a modern kitchen in your image, from Quebec to Gatineau and through Montreal.

Cabinet doors in a modern kitchen

Modern kitchen cabinets play a central role in creating a successful effect. Glossy or matte, colors are solid, and handles are discreet. Our partner Dörr Industries is a Quebec-made kitchen cabinet manufacturer specializing in minimalist solutions.

Colors of a modern kitchen

The modern kitchen color palette is dominated by neutral tones such as variations of black, white, gray, or even beige. These colors create a sleek visual effect, ranging from total whiteness to more pronounced contrasts. To add a touch of life and contrast to the space, carefully chosen bright colors like red, navy blue, or emerald green used sparingly brighten the space without cluttering it.

Countertops

Countertops can receive various materials like stone, Dekton, or concrete, whose neutral tones naturally fit into the modern kitchen. You can also add a touch of warmth with a wooden countertop. Above all, focus on straight shapes and monochrome shades.

Backsplash

The clear and shiny backsplash is a must in kitchen trends, helping to create a sense of space. In a modern kitchen, opt for large, uniform surfaces. To create an illusion of increased grandeur and a sleek aesthetic, choose a backsplash material that continues from the countertop.

Modern kitchen sinks

Functionality and well-defined geometric lines are highlighted in the modern kitchen sink. Under-mount models integrate seamlessly with countertops in a discreet approach. Stainless steel is often preferred for its resistance to scratches and impacts.

Modern kitchen hoods

In modern kitchen decor, the hood is discreet and blends into the decor. Opt for popular choices like the under-cabinet hood or for a custom and efficient solution like the built-in hood. Our partners at Gereco Construction provide the expertise necessary to renovate your kitchen entirely customized.

Shelves in a modern kitchen

A few modern kitchen shelves can integrate into your decor. Opt for straight lines and neutral tones. For example, glass shelves can adorn your walls without weighing down the decor. Use them to display a few contemporary decorative objects or your dishes while paying attention to the quality of storage.

Modern decor elements

The decoration of a modern kitchen should remain sober and refined. Integrate metal or glass accessories, fruit bowls to add a subtle touch of color, or a colorful contemporary painting that contrasts with the predominant neutral tones.

Lighting and fixtures

In modern kitchen lighting, maximize brightness without weighing down the space. Opt for discreet and elegant solutions like strategically placed LED sconces, metallic or glass suspensions, or even a judiciously selected geometric luminaire that will become a focal point in the room.

Modern kitchen islands

Modern kitchen islands maximize preparation space while adding a touch of refinement. In the modern kitchen, think of clever integrated storage that allows you to free up space and simplify your daily life. A glossy or lacquered surface will add to the sense of interior space.

Accessories and materials

The modern kitchen breathes space and minimizes clutter. Opt for hidden storage solutions and use surfaces to display finely selected accessories. Choose discreet faucets and handles, built-in appliances, and focus on durable materials that will withstand the test of time.
