In this article, we discuss common features in modern designs. A modern kitchen should include environmentally friendly materials, clean lines, neutral colors, and a functional layout. All these elements create a space that is sleek, elegant, airy, and environmentally conscious.
With Trex Outdoor Kitchens, you can design a stunning outdoor kitchen that fits seamlessly into your living area. Explore the features below and learn how Trex Outdoor Kitchens is the best choice for your modern space.
Environmentally Friendly Materials
Given the shifting landscape in recent times, using environmentally friendly materials and reducing your carbon footprint are important decisions. Nowadays, eco-friendly approaches are the hallmarks of modern design. You will want to use sustainable materials for your outdoor kitchen – from your cabinets to your countertops.
Trex Outdoor Kitchens’ 100% stainless steel cabinetry is environmentally friendly. Our cabinetry is recyclable, produces minimal emissions, has low maintenance, and is resistant to corrosion and fire. Our powder coat finishes are also free of harmful compounds and less wasteful than conventional paint.
Although we do not manufacture or supply countertops, we have a handy article on countertop materials. In line with other environmentally friendly materials, you will want to consider natural or recyclable materials for your countertop.
Cabinetry Styles
Modern spaces are defined by clean lines and functional layouts. To fit this definition, an outdoor kitchen will have a practical layout that is open, airy, and uncluttered. Include only your must-have appliances and accessories for the best result.
Trex Outdoor Kitchens manufactures dozens of cabinetry styles and hundreds of sizes in 3 inch increments. We have base cabinets with multiple storage options. We also offer grill cabinets and appliance cabinets to house all your favorite appliances with a built-in look. Round out your space with a trash pull-out cabinet and a sink base cabinet for the most functionality.
This design flexibility allows you to create a layout that is minimal, clean, and practical. Explore simple outdoor kitchen ideas for an understated, yet impactful approach. Also consider our Trex Ready line of preselected layouts to simplify the process.
Colors
To set the mood of your modern design, choose neutral hues and thoughtful touches of metallics and textures. By blending these colors with other nature-inspired touches, you can create a warm, inviting living space.
You can choose from an array of saturated hues in neutral, brights, metallics, and more for your stainless steel cabinetry. Best of all, adding a powder coat guarantees low maintenance and a vibrant finish for the lifetime of your outdoor kitchen.
For your modern design, we offer plenty of powder coat finishes that will enhance the palette of your outdoor living space. Our collection includes a variety of neutral, textured, and metallic options to add warmth. Consider the choices below:
Door Styles
Clean, understated styling can make the most impact in modern spaces. We offer three stainless steel door styles ranging from a solid panel to a classic shaker. Browse our selections:
Hampton is a solid, flat panel door. The Hampton style adds a streamlined, sophisticated aesthetic to your space.
Venice is a shaker style with a flat frame, .75” reveal, and solid center. Venice is available in a monotone or two-tone option. Choose the monotone option to add subtle detail or two-tone for a striking contrast.
Key West is a classic shaker style door with 2 11/16″ wide stiles and rails. Key West is also available in monotone and two-tone.
Handles
A carefully chosen handle will add an elegant finishing touch to your outdoor cabinetry. Our handle selection includes our standard stainless steel bar pull and bronze handles from Ashley Norton. Ashley Norton handles have a “living finish” that will naturally patina over time.
Any of our handle options can complement your modern outdoor kitchen design. For a sleek finish, choose from our stainless steel bar pull or Ashley Norton offerings: Apollo, Urban, Hex, or Bar Pull. For an industrial look, consider Ashley Norton’s MC 7114 or L Pull.
