Cause a stir in your cookroom – we present our top trends to give your kitchen the contemporary makeover you’ve been longing for. Choose multiple materials and textures as accompaniments to whip up a sizzling setting, let exposed shelving units be your excuse to show off attractive serveware and extend your green thumb beyond your vegetables by tending to your organic indoor garden.
1. Go Green
Cabinets and counters come alive when healthy greens fill the spaces between them. For a fresh dose of flavour at hand, cultivate a bountiful herb garden right in your kitchen. Not only will it come handy as you cook your favorite recipes, but it will also energise your space with its air purifying qualities. You could also extend the trend to your cookware, serveware and kitchen in verdant hues and wood finishes.
2. Open House
Create a breathable sanctuary in your cookroom and free yourself from the strain of locked cabinets. Pick counters in diverse shapes and colours to put pots, pans and cutlery on proud display.
3. Mixed Matter
Isn’t many always better than one? Explore surfaces with different finishes in your eclectic cookroom to stand out from the crowd. Elevate your kitchen with a melting pot of materials to lend it a contemporary flair. For instance, juxtapose edgy metals with earthy timbers. We also recommend opting for appliances in diverse finishes to inject extra gleam.
