Are you looking for inspiration for your new kitchen? With so many looks, styles, colours and themes to choose from, it can be hard to settle on something. Even if you feel you may have nailed down your final decision, you might want to look at some fresh ideas. A great way to get ideas is to look at current trends. While you may not want to buy into a trend completely, seeing what aspects of the trend you like, and might want to make your own can help the decision-making process.
In this blog, we’ll be exploring some of the latest kitchen trends, including overall aesthetics, and some finer details. We hope it helps you get some new ideas!
Looks and Aesthetic Inspiration
The overall aesthetic of a room can be seen a bit like a personality, pulling together a theme of colours, textures, and accessories. Think about the overall purpose of your kitchen – is it a peaceful haven to unwind in? Is it a sophisticated entertainment hub for dinner parties and cocktail nights? Or a family gathering place for mealtimes?
Warm & Natural
A celebration of the perfectly imperfect, this style weaves together warm natural colours, with rugged wood, stone and brick for a lived-in and homely feel. Think earthy beiges, greys, browns, and oranges that bring the outdoors inside, while making you feel cosy.
Minimal Luxe
Many of us are familiar with the minimal trend that has been taking the interior world by storm for the last few years. With clean lines, white spaces, and muted, neutral colours. Minimal luxe brings in subtle hints of luxury, using materials such as gold handles and trimmings, marble surfaces, and highly polished finishes. It’s simple, but with a sophisticated and quiet elegance.
Bold Colours
Bold colours have been proven to have a mood boosting effect. Many recent trends can look like sticking to one statement colour theme or mixing colours in unusual combinations. Doing this in a tasteful way will make sure you get the splash of colour you want with a classic style that you won’t tire of after a few months.
Details and Features
As well as overall aesthetics, there are so many different features you could choose for your kitchen that will add convenience and ease to your life, and an extra talking point for guests. Here are a few you might want to consider
Pot filler taps
A new feature more and more people are choosing is a long, bendy tap located over the cooker, for filling large pots. These pot filler taps will take away the need for you to drag heavy pans across the floor – plus it’s safer! If you’re regularly cooking for family gatherings and dinner parties, a pot filler could take a lot of the heavy lifting away.
Beverage Centers
Whether it’s a comprehensive drinks cabinet, or a little space to store, make, and serve drinks, a beverage centre is great for homes where social gatherings happen. It can include a mini fridge for keeping mixers cool, or a fold-out table for serving canapes and nibbles. You can customise your beverage centre to make it completely your own.
Back Lighting
Subtle lighting features can draw the eye to specific features of a room. A great place for back lighting in your kitchen includes below or above splashbacks, on shelves, or on feature walls. They add a new depth to the ambiance, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
