DIsTINCTLY LIVING are a design-led kitchen studio and interior store. We are immersed in the world of design across the home as a whole which offers us a unique perspective when it comes to helping our clients create their dream kitchens. We design, create and install stunning bespoke kitchens from classic painted shaker kitchens through to sophisticated contemporary master pieces. We are also lucky to be able to offer our clients across Devon the entire furniture, kitchen and bathroom collection from leading lifestyle brand Neptune.
For the coming year we are seeing these trends:
Muted Colours Soft muted colours are now a staple in kitchen design. Charcoals, greys and neutrals often reflecting the colours of the natural environment, are fast replacing brash whites and primary colours. Contrast and excitement are still being brought in through muted colours such as dark blue. We have been working in partnership with Little Greene for many years now and find that their heritage and on trend colours offer an unrivalled scope when exploring colour choices for our clients. Getting the colour right for your kitchen is absolutely critical, the shade can appear differently according to the light and situation so it should never be a decision undertaken lightly.
Painted Kitchens Spray painted and hand painted kitchens are continuing to lead the field even across our contemporary ranges, replacing glossy high finishes and foil wrapped doors.
Texture Along with the more muted colour pallets we are seeing more textures being brought into kitchens through use of natural materials such as marble chopping boards to copper kettles and stunning ironmongery.
Worktops The move towards lighter and more muted colours has continued through into worktops. Quartz is now the most popular choice of material, not only due to the vast array of choice but also the ability to offer a low sheen honed finish which is proving exceptionally popular.
Lighting The focus on lighting continues to growing in significance yearly and as anybody who knows us will tell you we take lighting seriously. Often lighting is the defining accent of a kitchen creating the feeling in the room - from warm and cosy family kitchens to clean and minimalist contemporary spaces. We are strong belivers in the Nordic notion of ‘hygge’ which in a literal translation means creating a nice, warm atmosphere. It is the sense of coming home to a warm fire and candlelit room with friends and family sharing good times together.
Larders The larder unit returns to the forefront of great kitchen design offering a practical and beautiful solution to storing all those cherished essentials of the cooks cupboard.
