4. Emphasize Light and Space
Light and airy spaces soothe the mind. Refine your kitchen space by incorporating natural light in, avoiding door and window treatments or toning it down to simple, neutral solid colors. Too much ornate in the window is clutter. Add a little amount of accent and ambient light to break monotony. Effective use of space promotes synergy with outside views and effortless, inviting workflow with other areas inside the house, avoiding possible obstruction and separations. Avoid unnecessary furniture to allow enough space.

5. Restrain Your Color Pallettes
Tone down your color scheme. Ditch loud, intense colors that can cause distraction. Opt for something clean, subdued colors that's fresh and timeless. Neutrals are usually cool, chic, and classic. Neutrals paired with wood also create a perfect symmetry of modern sophistication that's aesthetically flexible. Nothing spells minimalist than a calming ambiance of light and elegance.
