Kitchen Designs Trends You Need to Know About
The evolution of kitchen design
Kitchen designs are constantly evolving, with new ideas, colours and textures coming into fashion as others go out.
For example, according to experts, 2023 trends include free-standing furniture, concealed storage, marble effect, and feature splash backs.
However, the design of your kitchen will often depend on its size, as well as the age and style of your home. Trends are a fantastic source of inspiration, but it is important to create a kitchen in which you feel comfortable and inspired.
Importance of staying updated with trends
As mentioned above, trends can provide ideas and kick-start your imagination. However, it is not important to keep up with trends in your own home. Firstly, working with the size and shape of your kitchen will give you an idea of which trends you can include in your kitchen design and which you should avoid. Likewise, if no trends appeal to you, just go your own way!
Minimalist Designs
One design which has never really gone out of fashion, is minimalist.
Cabinets & Storage Solutions
In 2023, intelligent internal storage solutions are high on the trends list. From pantries to drawers, the idea is to create storage that you can hide away when it’s not in use. This helps to create a tidy kitchen, with no appliances on show, and results in clean, minimalist lines.
Clean lines & simple aesthetics
Choosing smooth, unfussy cupboard doors and worktops will help to achieve these clean lines, whilst keeping aesthetics to a minimum will add to the minimalist look.
Colour schemes
Whilst many may think white or cream are the only colour schemes you can choose for a minimalist kitchen, the truth is you can use any colour you choose – from light, natural tones to bright, inspiring colours. The key to a minimalist kitchen is keeping everything else sleek, clean and fuss-free. As long as you stick to these rules, the colour of your kitchen will just add to the final design.
Smart Technology for a futuristic kitchen
Technology has quickly crept into every facet of home life and the kitchen is no different.
Voice-activated controls
Voice-activated controls have long been a part of our everyday life, but now we are able to control appliances, such as cookers, with our voices. This is making the kitchen experience not only easy and straightforward but also fun.
Environmentally friendly options
More of us are becoming more aware of our carbon footprint and are looking at ways we can minimise our impact on our surrounding environment. This is no different when looking to design a new kitchen.
Sourcing sustainably manufactured and recyclable materials, utilising natural light and researching alternative methods of heating are all ways we can make our kitchens more sustainable.
Kitchen panelling ideas
Whether you want to follow this year’s kitchen design trends, such as feature splash backs, or create your own individual style, kitchen wall panels are the perfect choice.
PVC kitchen wall panels perfectly emulate a wide variety of materials and designs, from traditional tile and luxurious marble to contemporary concrete and natural wood. However, unlike their real counterparts, wall panels are easy to install – they require no grout or specialist skills and can be fitted on top of uneven surfaces and existing tiles – and even easier to clean. They are also 100% waterproof, making them ideal for use in areas with high condensation, such as kitchens. This is similar to pvc panels for bathrooms, being an ideal choice for uprooting your shower or bathroom.
Kitchen wall panels are now available in such a wide variety of colours, styles, and textures, that you can create the kitchen of your dreams, but at a fraction of the cost and with minimum disturbance.
