A Perfectionist's worst nightmare
Yes, you read that right...postmodern kitchen designs take everything you know about perfect, normal, functional and acceptable kitchens...and mess it up! Postmodernism was all the rage in the 80s and lasted nearly two decades. Now we see snippets of it appearing in kitchen designs around the world. It is certainly a style to consider if you appreciate thinking outside the square and colouring beyond the lines.
Designing your very own postmodern kitchen
 |  |  |
First of all, you must decide on a layout for your postmodern kitchen design.
Then work out how you are going to remove the standard, normal aspects of your kitchen style and replace them with funky, dysfunctional and colourful features.
You will need to incorporate bold colours and and contrasting patterns to catch the attention of your guests.
Include some cheaper materials converted into expensive features in your postmodern kitchen design. This is one of the key aspects of postmodernism - the ability to turn the tables on society's perceptions. Create a masterpiece from chipboard, include a feature made of brick, the ideas are endless.
Mix up the cultures. Bring in some pop culture like vibrant colours and curved lines and cross it with some timeless pieces including wood and glass with perfect lines.
Don't be afraid to add a touch of humour or parody to your postmodern kitchen design. If you have a pet that is more like your child, then add something special for them. If you have a hobby or interest perhaps you could tie that in to your kitchen design. Get creative and think outside the square.
Contrasting surfaces will contribute to your postmodern kitchen design. Use glass with brick, use wood with stainless, get crazy and remember that anything goes in the land of postmodernism.
