We are back to give you 10 of the top trends in kitchen design this year, so join us as we list the up-and-coming and timeless classics in kitchen design.
- Curves
A curved island can mean space for more guests and more versatility. With no sharp angles to avoid, guests may sit wherever they like. So even when the whole family is round there is space at the bar. - Open Shelving
When you have a small space or large cabinets it can often block light, open shelving can really open up that space and let the light shine in. Floating shelves achieve this perfectly with no visible brackets to break the flow of your design.
- Reeded Glass
The favourite Art Deco reeded glass is back. Now you don’t even have to replace the glass as window film will achieve the desired effect. But that real visible texture will always look best built in from the start. - Calming Colours
Blues and greens are in. Giving kitchens a calming, serene feel with green taking the lead for those looking for a more grounded and earthy look, paired with wood or pale natural tones.
- Bakers Table
Like the ever-popular island, but the freestanding visible legs make this centrepiece feel like furniture by itself, becoming a focal point of the room. Still featuring extra storage and stools to perch on. - Upgraded splashbacks
Splashbacks preserve your walls, making for an easy-to-clean surface behind your cooker. But now we are seeing splashbacks become more of a feature piece, including soft curves or striking materials.
- Smart Storage
We have discussed this in our previous blog, We are all looking for clever ways to hide your bits and bobs from prying eyes. So much happens in the kitchen so you’re often armed with tools that all need a space. From clever rotating spice racks hidden inside vertical drawers to butlers’ pantries for all those essentials. - Worktops – Marble and ‘marble’
With many looking to include a central island in their kitchen, we are seeing more people craving a luxury look. Marble can be expensive, but its unique qualities can be found nowhere else. Each piece has a unique vein pattern. However, Cosentino quartz worktops offer a more affordable alternative that still has a luxury feel. Not to mention quartz worktops are hard-wearing, never stain and some are even heatproof.
- Integrated Appliances
People are increasingly looking at the aesthetics of their kitchen and looking for a seamless look. This means there is more demand for ways to hide appliances or integrate them into the kitchen. Smeg Coffee machines and microwaves can now be built-in above your oven, these can match their Smeg ovens perfectly creating synergy in the kitchen. Inbuilt hobs create a seamless look, perfectly lining up with the worktop and even able to match your colour scheme. And finally, cabinetry with a space-saving concertina door to hide toasters and kettles. - Downdraft extractors
Just like the aforementioned streamlined look described above. Smeg has integrated hobs with downdraft extractors to give you back your headspace. Watch the steam flow into the centre of the hob, saving you from puthering clouds of steam when you lift the lid to your potatoes.
