If your kitchen is no longer working for your culinary needs, it’s time to update. Here are a few top trends for consideration:
DARK AND MOODY
Remember the fresh feel of the all-white kitchen? This trend is slowing down as we see the rise of the moody and dark kitchen with striking lighting, says Melanie Stein of EuroCasa.
“Textured, dramatic worktops are definitely featuring. Matt cabinetry, also with textured detail, is becoming an interesting addition to the kitchen space. Not forgetting the comeback of some of the most beautiful dark wood veneers,” says Stein.
If the fearless trend of dark, masculine colours are too bold for you, then Shabnaam Khan of Fabri South Africa suggests a timeless grey. “A classic shade of grey defies seasonal trends. The appreciation for natural tones and textures is being revived, such as softer shades of beige and white.”
SLEEK AND SIMPLE
Minimalism still dominates in contemporary kitchen design. Linear Concepts’ Selma Zaifoglu says: “Simplicity is remarkable. Built-in appliances, handless cabinets, matt finishes and more – all of these contribute to the style we just can’t get enough of and will see more of this year.
