PLANNING A NEW KITCHEN?

Design

Aug 17

Chances are you’ll all over Pinterest and Instagram, checking out what’s hot and what’s not.

But while you get plenty of inspiration from those platforms, it’s not always easy to work out what’s a fad, and what will stand the test of time.

Let us help – here are the trends we’re helping our clients implement right now:

Open Plan

Open plan is here to stay – whether it’s a legacy of all that #stayingathome during lockdowns, or just a realisation that we actually rather like being at home, kitchens now need to be social spaces.

Plus, when you add in all the additional home working, an open plan kitchen is usually multifunctional, with more space to work, socialise and dine, all at the same time.

How to make it happen? An island always helps, while bar stools overlooking the kitchen prep area, will help connect the dining room to the chef. Mixed seating can also help distinguish between areas within a bigger room.

Bringing outdoor, indoor

Natural materials help you blend the outdoor and the indoor, while forest greens, mushroom browns and sky blues work to bring a little of the great outdoors into your everyday space.

Plus, adding a big bifold at the end and some skylights brings plenty of natural light in.

Scandi Vibes

Minimalist and smooth lines, scandi vibes have been fashionable for a while, and we can’t see them disappearing anytime soon. Black accents, wood and gold, rustic looks, the trend is for them all to be blended together, with plenty of exposed wood, metal and stone.

Smart Kitchens

This one’s inevitable, and Alexa is just the tip of the iceberg. Smart plugs, smart lights, smart blinds, smart microwaves, the list goes on and on, and reflects the fact that the future is now. All smart appliances can be controlled from your phone, with most voice activate for the true hands-free experience

The Invisible Kitchen

What about a kitchen that…doesn’t look like a kitchen?! Seamless hobs that you can barely see, a built-in oven, a fridge hiding behind a beautiful cupboard door, handleless cabinets – they all contribute towards a tidy, minimalist look that says this kitchen is about more than just prepping food.
