Kitchen trends have changed dramatically in recent months. This year’s trends promise to completely reimagine kitchen areas, from adding textured tiles to maximising different storage options.
1. Textured Tiles
In kitchen design, texture becomes a main feature. Textured tiles give surfaces visual interest. Fascinating backsplashes are created by geometric patterns like hexagonal-shaped tiles, and terrazzo tiles are back in style.
2. Wood Flooring
Wood flooring is becoming a popular option for a kitchen refurbishment as trends lean more towards authentic and warm flooring. While reclaimed wood flooring provides rustic charm and sustainability, wide plank hardwood floors in earthy tones can produce a timeless appearance. Wood flooring balances well with practically any colour scheme and can complement both cool and warm-toned colour palettes.
3. Kitchen Islands
Kitchen islands featuring luxurious stone surfaces take centre stage this year. Elegant waterfall edges on marble countertops exude sophistication, while engineered quartz countertops are highly durable and adaptable, with the ability to seamlessly incorporate appliances for a modern appearance. Aside from that, stone islands provide a durable and heat-resistant surface that is great for setting hot pots and pans directly off the burner without fear of damaging them.
4. Smarter Storage
In the kitchens of the future, smart storage options utilise available space and simplify daily duties. Pull-out pantry solutions keep supplies organised and conveniently accessible by maximising storage capacity. If you are looking to undertake a kitchen refurbishment, consider adding hidden appliances. Like hidden garages, these maintain a neat look while modular storage adapts to changing needs.
5. Statement Range Hoods
Stay on trend this year by installing a statement range hood. These bold and eye-catching focal points can be made in an increasingly diverse range of materials such as stainless steel, mixed metals and wood.
6. Butter Yellow
Butter yellow has emerged as a popular colour choice in interior design, including kitchens, due to its soft and inviting appeal, and is fast becoming a favoured option for kitchen cabinets, walls and accents. Unlike more vibrant shades of yellow, butter yellow has a timeless elegance that surpasses fleeting trends.
