Some common minimalist kitchen elements to consider:
Neutral colors (or at least a limited color palette), simple storage, hide as much as possible behind cabinet doors, no visible product labels (at least ugly/generic ones), clean lines, natural light, clutter-free spaces, a plant or some flowers but very limited—not a “jungle,” streamlined sink, sparing use of open shelving, and small appliances kept hidden.
Here are some ways I’ve applied some of my own advice at home:
I store small appliances that aren’t used daily. I keep my cappuccino machine on the countertop. Everything else, like my waffle iron, toaster, juicer, etc. is stored away.
My open shelving is kept spare. Open shelves tend to look cluttered if overloaded. I only keep items that I frequently on them like coffee cups and glasses. I also keep a plant on my shelf.
Oils and spice collection stay in the drawer. Piling spices by the stove can look messy but also, how many of them are you using daily or even weekly? If you’re a big cook, then perhaps you use all of your spices frequently – but even then, I’m guessing you rotate through the same ones over and over. You most like don’t use many of your spices regularly – so put them in a cabinet, drawer, or closet directly near the stove. I only keep olive oil, salt, and pepper near the stove for easy access. Note: I even put utensils and whisks in drawers instead of on the counter – visually this is so much cleaner and less of a hair/dust magnet especially if you have pets!
