Introduction to Mid-century Kitchen Design
At OL and Edward Ltd, we recently had the privilege of renovating a kitchen with a design from HOLTE kitchen. HOLTE is renowned for their unique approach to design, especially their specialty in crafting cabinets for IKEA cabinets. Our project began with the demolition of the old kitchen and tiles. The transformation was evident as we replaced the outdated design with a sleek mid-century aesthetic. What defines a mid-century kitchen design? It's a blend of vintage charm and modern functionality, and with HOLTE's designs, we achieved just that.

2. The Appeal of the Submerged Sink in Modern Kitchens
Why are submerged sinks becoming a popular choice? They offer a seamless look and are incredibly functional. For this renovation, we installed a submerged sink that not only enhanced the kitchen's look but also provided the homeowner with a practical and stylish workspace.
3. Flat-Panel Cabinets: A Blend of Functionality and Aesthetics
Flat-panel cabinets are a hallmark of mid-century design. Their clean lines and unembellished surfaces make them a favorite. During installation, each cabinet was carefully screwed on, ensuring stability and longevity. How do these cabinets enhance the kitchen's look? Their simplicity offers a timeless appeal, making the space feel both modern and cozy.
4. The Richness of Brown Cabinets in Mid-century Designs
Brown cabinets have always been a preferred choice in mid-century kitchens. Their warm tones bring a sense of comfort and nostalgia. For this project, the brown cabinets from HOLTE added depth and contrast to the overall design.
5. Engineered Stone Countertops: Durability Meets Beauty
What are the advantages of using engineered stone for countertops? They are resilient, long-lasting, and offer a luxurious finish. Our team ensured that the engineered stone countertops were meticulously placed, enhancing the kitchen's elegance.
6. Integrated Appliances: The Future of Kitchen Design
Integrated appliances are discreet and space-saving. Their seamless integration into the cabinetry offers a clutter-free look. Why are they considered the future? They provide modern functionality without compromising on design.
8. Terrazzo Flooring: A Vintage Touch to Contemporary Spaces
Terrazzo flooring is a nod to the past, yet it fits perfectly in contemporary designs. Special attention was given to the grouting process, ensuring the use of non-pigmented grout to maintain the flooring's authentic look.
9. The Central Role of the Kitchen Island in Mid-century Designs
A kitchen island is more than just a centerpiece; it's essential for functionality. It provides additional workspace, storage, and a gathering spot for family and friends. For this renovation, the island became a focal point, embodying the essence of mid-century design.
10. Concluding Thoughts on White Floors and Worktops
White floors and worktops offer a pristine finish to any kitchen. They reflect light, making the space appear larger and more inviting. In this N16 kitchen renovation, they played a pivotal role in bringing all design elements together, creating a harmonious and inviting space.
