denim blue. Clay reds are gaining traction since we first saw them at the LivingKitchen exhibition at IMM Cologne in 2018. They range from pink shades through to terracotta and offer a fresh take on traditional uni colours. Previously, grey was the base colour of choice to pair with other materials, but we are now seeing pastel tones take their place. All with a black pigment, they work beautifully with the matt black we see across accessories, brassware, ceramics and furniture, as
shown on the Stosa stand. Black is here to stay, so it is important that everything works well together.
Classic woodgrains Dark walnuts, oak and teak decors are making a comeback in a retro style, across tabletops, small accent furniture and frontals. They offer a new dimension to luxurious interiors and a refreshed look for furniture design. Walnut with solid matt, or even stone accents, creates a high-end

look that is incredibly fashionable, as shown by Italia and Century Brazil. Consumers are looking for carcasses that contrast with frontals on either traditional shaker style kitchens or modern slab styles, so these classic woodgrains will work perfectly. Pale and quiet woodgrain styles are in contrast to this, with slab and fluted style doors bringing a holistic feel to living spaces. Interior styles will feel neutral and breathable, working together with silent solids and soft stones, as shown by Scandola.
Emotional woodgrains Tactile and rustic woodgrains are also in the mix, but in a modern way and paired with painted, handleless shaker doors that we have not seen much of in the past. Another example are heavy, striking woodgrains used as statement
cabinets, as shown by
Porcelanosa, in combination with a contrasting uni colour.
Materials and metallic The rise of solid metallic decors, with a subtle sheen, is an emerging trend, found throughout the fair. The soft metal look in taupe, steel, bronze, and even dark green, offers a luxurious look and an alternative element to

matt, solid slab doors. Brands like Boffi displayed multiple versions of such styles and structures on their stands and in their showrooms.
Another refreshing style that’c oming through, is a sandstone slab frontal, offering a striking feature for furniture design. Gloss also looks to be making a comeback, but in a more modular style and paired with multiple material types.
Worktops at
Stone, marble and terrazzo looked to be popular choices for worktop materials. Dark grey and black marble with a semi sheen and coloured veins, in a soft red or natural shade, were a standout. A variety of thicknesses offers impact, especially when used at different heights across islands and long benches. New worktop shapes are also visually appealing, with curves proving popular. To sum up, what was shown EuroCucina was
very much
in line with our developments across furniture decors and is reflected in our EGGERzum trend collection this year. We can certainly see these designs and colours emerging on to the UK kitchen market over the coming months.
