If you like many are looking for a New Years make over, then join the many thousands of people looking to do the same. To help you get going, we have put together 10 kitchen design trends to get your creative juices flowing.
1. Quartz Worktops
Real marble as shown in this picture will most certainly always be in style. However, if you’re a red wine drinker, it may be worthwhile considering quartz as it is more affordable and less prone to stains and yet looks very much like natural stones.
Engineered Quartz worktops have 95 percent quartz, which is a rich natural stone, making it perfect for home owners who desires to have high-grade worktops. Combine ground quartz with rich colour pigments and a binding agent, and you’ll have one of the most hard-wearing engineered surfaces in the globe. Aside from it’s beauty, it’s also ecologically friendly.
2. Hidden Appliances
If you don’t like counter clutter, and don’t enjoy lugging gadgets out to use them, it’s time to find a way to integrate the devices your use frequently in a discreet and functional way.
3. Open Kitchen and Living Areas
Maximize living space by making the family room and kitchen one large room. A mix of lighting helps differentiate the areas, while a uniform wall color keeps everything cohesive.
4. Two-Tone Cabinets
Feel free to mix it up: Unified cabinetry is a thing of the past. Here, Diane Keaton features contrasting white and gray storage in her beautifully rustic kitchen.
5. Statement Taps
A statement tap is one sure-fire way of bringing wow factor to your kitchen. ‘The popularity of feature taps continues to grow,’ says Darren Watts from Wren Kitchens. ‘Brass, industrial-looking taps with unusual handles and interesting features are a great way to draw the eye and complement the space, paired with similar finishes for cupboard and draw grips to keep a consistent style
6. Green Cabinetry
The color green embodies a sense of renewal and growth, so it’s only fitting that it would be a top choice for leading designers, especially when it comes to kitchens
7. Navy Millwork
We love a classic white kitchen, but lately we’ve seen requests for navy millwork. It blends beautifully with marble and brass.
8. Smart Kitchens
A lot of kitchens today are built smart from the ground up. Easy add-ons are motion sense-equipped kitchen faucets that can sense the presence of hands underneath and will come on automatically or try a one-touch feature.
Refrigerators that can alert you when your groceries items are running low or a coffee maker programmed to have your coffee ready when you wake up.
This is one of the biggest trends going into 2020.
9. Embrace Wood’s Texture
“We are seeing a change in trend from all-white kitchens to much more natural wood tones. Taking advantage of knots and texture gives a modern look to more cabin-like materials.” —Austin Carrier and Alex Mutter-Rottmayer, Interior Designers
10. Bright Stoves
The solid trend of bold and bright stoves is perfect if your kitchen is lacking in colour and you want to inject that important feature that will really make your whole space pop. Not only will this key look create a focal point, but it will act as a starting point to inspire you to keep building your kitchens whole aesthetic. Why not incorporate accessories and small appliances in matching colours to create a unified look?
