Therefore, it is helpful to look at previous designs. This helps homeowners get inspired while also getting in touch with their style and taste preferences. These thirteen designs are some of the most notable and beautiful, with features and elements you can only get with a Divine Full Custom kitchen.
1. Glass-Walled Natural Stone Kitchen
Large glass walls are a modern design feature that you will see in Divine Full Custom kitchens. This separates the cooking space without visually breaking up the open layout of a home. Not only are they beautiful, but they serve a functional purpose. The glass walls prevent the cooking smells from permeating throughout the house.
Thanks to those glass walls, you can easily see the impressive natural stone chosen for the backsplash, shelving, and waterfall countertops. The entire modern design is accented by custom-designed LED lighting.
2. Porcelain, Smoked Glass and Walnut Kitchen
Your modern kitchen design will look sophisticated with the innovative materials in this custom kitchen design. There is an artful blending of porcelain, smoked glass, and walnut veneer. The smoked glass is a fresh take on clear glass cabinetry. At the same time, the porcelain is a unique take on natural stone. It is a durable alternative to natural stone. As seen in this modern kitchen, porcelain comes in more than plain white.
3. Two-Island Stone Outdoor Kitchen
One of the most popular trends in home design is outdoor living. Divine Full Custom kitchens are a perfect addition to your home. Create an outdoor cooking, gathering, and entertaining space like this custom design. Gone are the days of a simple wood deck and grill. This elegant outdoor kitchen features two stone islands, plenty of countertop workspace, a sink, and grills. This creates a beautiful space that is functional and ergonomic.
4. Black and White Dual-Island Kitchen
The black and white design of this modern Divine Full Custom kitchen creates the perfect balance of light and dark. It is the ideal color palette for the minimalist design of the dual kitchen island. While opening the island reduces the amount of storage space, that is not a concern in this design. The wall of white slab cabinets creates a streamlined design that hides plenty of storage. Integrated into the islands are sinks and cooktops that are barely noticeable.
5. Light Wood Kitchen with Glass Cooktop Screen
Modern and contemporary kitchens do not have to be sleek, urban, or edgy. This custom contemporary Divine Full Custom kitchen is a tribute to the natural beauty of light wood. It features a white color palette, a classic kitchen design that never goes out of style. The wood veneer for the cabinets softens and warms the kitchen. The thoughtful, functional touches make this fresh, bright kitchen a Divine Full Custom design. A large glass panel extends from the countertop to the ceiling in front of the cooktop. This helps to contain and direct the cooking fumes to prevent them from spreading throughout the open floor plan. The nearby sink and integrated fridge in the wall behind make navigating the kitchen easy while preparing meals.
6. Knotted Wood and Steel Kitchen
With Divine Full Custom, homeowners have access to some of the most state-of-the-art materials and finishes. This can be seen in this custom kitchen design. You will see a pairing of modern steel alloys with a traditional wood that is full of texture and knots.

7. Fossil Oak and Open Steel Shelving Kitchen
The open design of this custom kitchen embraces old-world materials and finishes without distracting from the beauty. Long open steel shelving on one wall creates a modern and slightly urban industrial feel. The potential coldness of this feature is balanced by the fossil oak that is more than 1,000 years old and the massive natural stone countertop on the island. The open shelving provides plenty of functional storage that is readily available while cooking. The long kitchen island then gives you plenty of workspaces that are readily accessible from both sides throughout the length of the kitchen.
Multiple integrated ovens are on the other side of the kitchen, turning this custom kitchen into a chef’s kitchen. Then there is an integrated fridge, creating plenty of cold storage. Finally, an enclosed glass cabinet with LED backlighting completes this modern kitchen.
8. Engraved Stone Island Kitchen
This kitchen offers something new. The stone front of this kitchen island features custom engraving. This blends art, life, and movement with the static nature of stone and kitchen islands.
The stone can feel solid and imposing, so the designers balanced it with the lightweight glass cabinetry. The openness of the glass allows you to see through the cabinets to keep the kitchen from feeling too closed-in. The homeowner can also continue the art motif of the island by incorporating art on display among their kitchen storage.
9. Black Stone and Wood Glass-Front Kitchen
When designing a contemporary custom kitchen with Divine Full Custom, the options are limitless. This kitchen proves this with its creative and unique use of materials and finishes. The black framed glass front cabinets feature rich wood paneling. This expertly blends design styles for cabinets that are luxurious and elegant. Lining the backsplash is a black stone with subtle white graining. This adds a lightness that contrasts the dark wood and black accents. Glass, wood, and stone are used throughout the kitchen in different ways. This creates a cohesive look that looks coordinated without being repetitive. For example, a set of open wood shelves have a single glass door protecting them. Lining the wall behind the shelves is the black stone. The same stone is also used for a suspended countertop and waterfall kitchen island.
10. Steel-Front Professional-Style Kitchen
This custom contemporary kitchen is like the at-home version of a professional commercial kitchen. It is truly the kitchen for the homeowner who loves spending time in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes and techniques. The cabinets feature steel panel fronts with anodized aluminum edging. Hidden by these sleek fronts are modern technology and organization. Concealed integrated lighting makes it easy to see what is in your cabinets. The organizational system keeps everything readily reachable.
A wood plank flooring brings warmth into the space and keeps this custom kitchen feeling like it belongs in a home. Another nice touch is the long, slim white open shelf, making the perfect display and cooking storage space. Finally, white lacquered cabinets over the large countertop provide plenty of cooking prep space.
11. Warm Wood Veneer Handleless Kitchen
The warm, rich coloring of the wood veneer gives these cabinets an elegant feel. Hidden behind these beautiful cabinets is an integrated opening system. This blends Mad Men sophistication with modern technology. Balancing the potential heaviness of the wood is a light floor and plenty of bright accent lighting. A handleless design was chosen for the cabinets to create an uninterrupted design. To ensure functionality and ergonomics, a hidden bevel makes opening and closing the cabinets more accessible.
A large kitchen island breaks up the space, making it feel more intimate. It also creates a large countertop which means there is plenty of workspace for cooking.
12. Black and Light Wood Handleless Kitchen
The elevated design of this kitchen takes handleless to the next level. The lines are uninterrupted throughout this sleek and modern custom kitchen. The warmth of the light wood balances the dark black cabinets. Completing the urban contemporary style are glass front cabinets with under mount accent lighting. Smart technology choices were also made. Round LED lights were used to soften the design and keep the kitchen feeling contemporary.

This kitchen is less about cooking for family life and more about making a statement when influential guests come over.

Frequently asked questions
Why do some contemporary kitchens use glass walls?
A large glass wall separates the cooking space without visually breaking up an open layout. It also stops cooking smells from spreading through the rest of the house. Because the glass is transparent, you can still see features such as a natural stone backsplash and shelving. A smaller glass panel in front of the cooktop does a similar job, containing and directing cooking fumes in an open floor plan.
Is porcelain a good alternative to natural stone in a modern kitchen?
Porcelain is a durable alternative to natural stone and gives a fresh take on the look of stone. It is also available in more than plain white. In one of the designs in this article, porcelain is paired with smoked glass and walnut veneer, showing how it can sit alongside warmer materials to create a sophisticated contemporary kitchen.
Can a contemporary kitchen still feel warm?
Yes. Wood is the usual way to add warmth. A light wood veneer softens a white kitchen, fossil oak balances open steel shelving, and wood plank flooring keeps a steel-fronted kitchen feeling like part of a home. In darker designs, light wood can offset black cabinets, while bright accent lighting and a light floor stop rich wood veneer from feeling heavy.
How do handleless kitchen cabinets open?
Handleless cabinets keep the lines of a kitchen uninterrupted, so the opening mechanism is built in rather than added on. In one design in this article, an integrated opening system sits behind wood veneer fronts, and a hidden bevel makes the cabinets easier to open and close. The result looks clean while staying practical for everyday cooking.
