Kitchen Bath & Lighting Modern style Kitchens Trends


Modern Purist Kitchen Trends 



The definition of Purism is: an early-20th-century artistic style and movement founded by Le Corbusier and the French painter Amédée Ozenfant (1886–1966) and emphasizing purity of geometric form. It arose out of a rejection of cubism and was characterized by a return to the representation of recognizable objects.

So with the modern style of a purist kitchen, you would not see traditional ornament and classical motif’s anywhere.  What you would get a sense of is a clean even sterile aesthetic with contemporary yet incredibly functional materials and furnishings.  The purist kitchen typically means that it has pure color like white on the walls, it would seem there is a lot of white or natural purist colors that are used.  With fixtures like the faucet, they would have tubular shapes that are simple yet beautiful.

The aesthetic is very minimalist but Modern kitchen trends today can still have a purist flavor but just more inviting and encorporate luxurious elements like appliances and glossy lacquered cabinets or stainless with glass inserts like the example kitchen below. 

 











There is a desire for people to want to live in homes that are comfortable and personable and functional

 
  You may see concrete floors and counter tops and you may see organic wood floors with a lustrous chrome for cabinetry and or counter tops.  A Modern purist kitchen exemplifies an uncluttered aesthetic that would be pleasing to the eye as well as inviting.
