INTERIORS 55 KITCHENS FOR A NEW ERA
Tim Spann of Keller Kitchens takes a look at how kitchen designs might change in the wake of the pandemic.
E
very year brings a new set of trends, whether it’s fashion, cars, exercise or kitchens!
However, after the tumultuous year that was 2020, people are looking at their homes differently and figuring out ways in which they can utilise the space and create multi-functional spaces for the family. Choice and flexibility are needed when a homeowner is consider- ing a new kitchen now.
COLOUR
The customer is looking for interesting colour and material combinations more than ever; so the kitchen specialist should be letting them know that the options are now not just black or white! There are endless possibilities in terms of design, space and technology in today’s heart of the home. The ‘norm’ is now not desirable – homeowners want their kitchen to stand out among the rest. Having the standard cabinet size is not enough for some clients, as they need that extra space –
and they can choose to have an XXL cabinet to facilitate the larger family. Not everyone wants to have closed doors on their cabinets either, and the option is there to have open display units or add a smoked glass door. Ultra-matt kitchens, with different coloured cabinets, rose in popularity in 2020, and they are here to stay. The material looks sleek, and it’s easy to clean.
Choosing a material for a kitchen door
is the first step depending on the budget – after that, the colour can be considered as most colours come in most finishes with today’s flexible manufacturers. The cabinet front colours are obviously the most striking points in a kitchen scheme, so making sure the right colour, or colours, is chosen for the room is essential. This all depends on the room itself – is it small and naturally dark without a lot of daylight? If so, you would choose a brighter shade to give the illusion that the room is larger than it actually is. Larger rooms can get away
