WORKSURFACES & SPLASHBACKS
Surface trends for outstanding designs A
s per tradition, the new year came with its own trends for kitchen and bathroom surfaces – some of which we are already familiar with, and other that made a comeback from past years. These will inform designers and consumers’ choice in 2023 and help them craft the most beautiful spaces in residential, commercial and hospitality settings.
Bringing the outside inside
Comment by Vicki Richmond Marketing Director, CDUK
Soothing, earth-toned colours, including greens, grey and browns, made a comeback in our homes and offices, and their success doesn’t rely solely on aesthetic preferences. The concept of “neuroaesthetic spaces” within interior design is a growing matter, with recent studies highlighting a correlation between mental health and nature in interiors. Worksurfaces are not exempt from this trend, as designers are showing more and more interest in nature-inspired options with intricate veining, minerals and natural tactility.
Black is the new black
Black has undoubtedly made a grand return to our interiors. Once regarded as a colour that made rooms dark and oppressive, the “queen of colours” is now living a new life as leading designers are choosing to colour-blocking entire rooms, from walls and ceilings to surfaces and accessories. Bathroom and kitchen countertops in dark shades, paired with matte black sinks and taps and faucets for a holistic monochrome concept - or with brass or copper for an industrial look, will immediately bring a dramatic feeling to a space.
Sustainability and circularity are a necessity The industry is continuing to recognise the importance of delivering long-lasting products and solutions that can minimise their long-term impact on the environment. The art of repairing and repurposing, one that the older generations are familiar with, is back on trend and surfaces which are made to last and easy to repair can be brought back to life after extensive use.
Keep up with the latest surface trends with CDUK L
eeds-based surface material supplier, CDUK, has been evolving their portfolio for four decades, using market intelligence to meet the ever-changing needs of customers. Informed by new and timeless trends, the CDUK team curated a range of surfaces that include Corian® Solid Surface, M|R Walls and PaperStone®.
CDUK has curated a Corian® Interior Trends Portfolio which features 20 colours including – amongst others – Carrara, inspired by marble stone with prominent veining, and Artista aesthetics, which combine smooth effect, intricate vein patterns with neutral
tones to produce a contemporary but nature- inspired finish.
The CDUK worksurface portfolio includes black variants of both Corian®, such as Deep Night Sky, and PaperStone®, in its Slate and Gunmetal options. These work magic with the new Matte Black finish that CDUK launched across its range of products by The 1810 Company: the AXIX sinks; ZEN15 sinks; Accessory Troughs; Henry Holt, Courbe Curve and Spirale taps. The range of surface materials has been selected for their high quality and ability to withstand the test of time, among other unique advantages. PaperStone® – made from recycled paper and natural resin – is a new-generation
sustainable material that is impact-resistant and hard-wearing. Like Corian® Solid Surface, the material can be repurposed, extending its life cycle. Learn more about CDUK and its surfaces portfolio with the ‘Discovery Hour’ designer training, which has been created to support designers in providing the highest level of expertise when designing beautiful luxury kitchens with Corian® Solid Surface and PaperStone®.
