This is no surprise, as the world continues to be more concerned with the issues of global warming and climate change. Everybody is becoming acutely aware of the need for sustainable living. Being eco-friendly is now a major consideration in the kitchen.
1. Colours go back-to-nature
There is a trend towards the use of raw materials and natural colour schemes.
Blues have been on-trend now for a while, and this will continue through 2022 and beyond. Now earthy purples, dark greens and marine shades look set to come to the fore. Emerald green is hotly tipped to become the big mover and shaker in the colour world this year.
2. Zoning
With so many people forced to work at home, the need for a compartmentalised living has risen sharply. With the trend toward hybrid work patterns now established, people have looked towards ways of zoning areas of the home according to different needs.
This means that areas within the kitchen are being created, even ‘Zoom-friendly zones.’
3. Seamless Surfaces
One of the new top kitchen trends that have really caught the eye over the past year or so is the unification of countertop and backsplash surfaces. Traditionally, the colours homeowners opt for with these two elements have been chosen to contrast.
4. Quartz or Marble worktop
Cream and dark grey worktops are the shades of choice and the ideal accompaniment is metallic details. The stones bring a little bit of luxury to the kitchen.
5. Metallic detailing
Brass is definitely on-trend this year. For many people, brass has always had a classic and timeless appeal. Brass and antique-style metals are the ultimate if you want to create a timeless feel with bags of character in the kitchen.
6. Integrated Storage
Space is always at a premium in the modern family home. However, with households now growing in size, wasted space is something that families can’t afford to have. This is why kitchen designs need to be able to adapt to this shift in living.
