Spring into the kitchen with the latest design trends!

 

Spring is upon us, and summer is just around the corner! With the change in season, comes a change in kitchen trends.

This season we are seeing a lot of coastal colours and natural tones making an appearance. Think misty blues and sea-foam greens, light sandy timber colours, as well as a hint of darker greys and charcoal to balance out the lighter tones.

As always, kitchen design trends can be a bit of a balancing act between going ‘all out’ committing to a new trend, and adding touches of the trend throughout your kitchen design to ensure a continued timelessness.

How can I implement these trends into my kitchen design?

 

Two-tone cabinetry
Two-tone kitchen cabinets are a hot design trend right now — and with good reason. Two-tone cabinets can create visual interest, make a small kitchen seem more spacious and help you stay within your budget. Timber veneer cabinets add a light and airy feel to your kitchen space. Add these above-bench to draw the eye upwards, and pair them back with below-bench cabinets in a darker or dustier hue such as the on trend sage green.

Lighting
Kitchen lighting, specifically the ever popular pendant lighting often seen hung over kitchen islands, is a great way to update your kitchen design without making any major changes. Various shades and bulbs can really freshen the style and feel of your kitchen accordingly. Here we have examples of lighting used both over kitchen islands, and lighting a kitchen workspace above a benchtop. Both the light rattan style and sea-foam green colours create an illusion of bringing ‘the outside indoors’.

Exposed shelving
Open plan or ‘exposed’ shelving is another popular trend that’s taking off this season. Often built as floating shelves in either white or natural timber, this kitchen design trend is all about showing off your individual personality. While serving functionality in the traditional sense (cookbooks, plates, mugs), open plan shelving is also trending for showcasing individual knick knacks, greenery and style.

Herringbone Splashbacks
Though some tilers will tell you that there is more fuss than function in herringbone tiled splashbacks, there’s no denying how striking they are! This on-trend style for kitchen splashbacks has given no indication of slowing down, and we have seen plenty of kitchen designs being installed utilising beautiful tiles in fresh Spring tones such as foggy greys and dusty greens.
