Your kitchen is the heart of the home. A space enjoyed by many for day-to-day activities such as eating, cooking and socialising. It is no surprise that the kitchen is the most valuable room in your home. So have a look at this year’s top kitchen trends to create an inviting and functional design.
The Industrial Look
This trend boomed in 2016 and has no intention of slowing down. Industrial style and design is inspired by open factory spaces. Design consists of minimalistic furniture, rustic metals like brass and exposed features like brick and pipes. Also combining wood, stone or concrete as a base for the look on furniture and bench tops creates sleek areas that are easy to clean and are functional.
Handle less Units
If you want to achieve a modern and sleek kitchen design this is the trend for you. Handle less units offer a clutter free design with soft close features to stop loud banging of drawers, which is ideal for families with children. They are also a great option for smaller kitchens as it creates more room to maneuverer and promotes a streamline flow of kitchen elements.
Smart Storage Solutions
Hiding clutter is trending, becoming a standard in kitchens opposed to an add on. Not just placing things away when guests come over, rather permanent storage space that fits more, even if space is limited. Create practicality, style and efficiency through tall larders and deep drawers that can easily be seen. Everything needs to be easily accessible. Large items such as appliances can be left out or placed in exposed shelving to break up colours and kitchen finishes. Additionally, more cabinetry is being extending to the ceiling to minimise dust and maximise storage.
Colour Palette
Colour blocking is the way forward this year. Larger areas of a single colour set a standardised tone that will stand the test of time. Also, making it easier to renovate or sell your home down the track. Winning colour combinations are navy and grey, white and black, grey and timber, and brass or copper finishes to compliment.
