04 Nov Top Kitchen Design Trends for 2016
Contemporary kitchen designs are constantly on the change, with homeowners currently opting for spaces that are stylish, practical and complement the holistic aesthetic of the home. Here are five of
the top kitchen design trends that have dominated the renovation scene in 2016.
Living Plants & Hanging Greenery
Living plants and hanging greenery perfectly complement the sleek lines of contemporary kitchens. They add colour and visual interest to the design, creating a conversation starter whilst improving the atmosphere of the space.
Kitchen Island
Open plan kitchens are commonplace in contemporary homes. These layouts often feature a kitchen island in order to improve mobility. Kitchen islands are accessible from all sides, maximising social interaction in both daily use and entertaining situations. They also provide a greater sense of space than traditional layouts.
Concrete Benchtops
New material trends in 2016 have led to a rise in popularity of concrete. It is frequently used in kitchen benchtops to create an industrial utilitarian aesthetic. The grey tones are timeless, complementing the neutral colour schemes that have been popular this year.
Hidden Appliances
Hidden appliances have been a popular choice with homeowners in 2016. Appliances such as fridges are concealed from view as they sit behind bespoke cabinets or panels. This creates a clean, streamlined look as appliances that would traditionally disrupt the holistic aesthetic of the kitchen are now hidden from view.
Timeless Neutrals
The use of a neutral colour palette is a mature trend that has been going strong in 2016. White kitchens are timeless, maximising natural light in interior spaces. They are complemented by other neutral tones in order to enhance visual interest. Accents made from concrete provide a unique way to add tones of grey. Exposed timber highlights further add interest to an otherwise all white space.
