Posted: January 28, 2021 |
After a dark and devastating year, renowned designers for kitchens Central Coast come up with a list of styles that are both hopeful, welcoming and long-lasting. These designs are guaranteed to be even better than before and are multi-functional at the same time. As the kitchen in our homes now serves a lot of functions, more people are looking at a bigger space. And as more people are hoping this year to be entirely different from the previous one, home improvements, especially the kitchen area will most probably be on-trend. So, if you are planning to re-create your favourite space in your home - the kitchen, here are six trendy designs this year to give you an idea before making your dream kitchen come true. Warm colour scheme While most homeowners still prefer white for their kitchen area, warm colour schemes are on its way, especially the cooler tones that are perfectly paired with huge windows to let the sunlight inside. These colours, especially the shades of green and blue which depicts nature is said to evoke feelings of comfort and familiarity. There are shades called optimistic colours which include green, natural wood tones, gold accents, and woven textures. Professional designers consider them preferably appropriate and perfect during this time of unrest. Environmentally-conscious design Since the pandemic started, more people have been consciously leaning into planting and bringing nature closer to home. This does not only mean that people miss going out but are also starting to reflect on their self-care and health. This path is believed to be long lasting as people now prefer growing their foods and herbs in the comfort of their backyards and kitchens. Experts believe that kitchen renovations this year will be composed with a lot of space for sunlight to reach inside, as well as a special area for the kitchen plants. Walk-in pantry Bedrooms are not the only one with walk-in closet nowadays. The pantry is slowly turning to be the new closet, as what they say. Living rooms will be smaller as the kitchen is bound to occupy an even larger space than usual. Now, a walk-in pantry will make your kitchen even more organised than ever. And since the pandemic hasn't ended yet, most people are still choosing to stay at home most of the time and trips to the grocery are also lessened. With this, pantries are even more useful. You can stock up on the essentials that won't easily be spoiled and keep it organised in your walk-in pantry. It doesn't have to be big but just enough to store a few appliances to keep your kitchen a little cleaner. You don't need doors for it unless you have kids. Large kitchen islands Pre-pandemic, a kitchen island is just another additional small space dividing the dining table from the actual kitchen area. Sometimes, it also serves as a preparation area for cooking and storage (if the kitchen island has drawers). But now, these islands serve as a work and study table too. For houses that are not fond of dining tables, a larger kitchen island can serve that purpose. More than just a luxury, adding a larger kitchen island makes your kitchen area even more functional than before. This style can be a long-lasting solution for all kinds of spaces, even the smaller ones as you can eliminate your dining table and exchange it instead to a bigger kitchen island. Outdoor kitchen "Though outdoor kitchens have been popular for a while now, they’ve gone from being a 'would like to have' to a must-have," says Margie Lavender, a principal architect at Ike Kligerman Barkley. While not everyone has extra space to build a kitchen outside, those who have one want to feel like they're dining in a different environment rather than just inside their house. Outdoor kitchens are slowly becoming popular since the pandemic started as staying at home every single day could feel so stuffy. So to have at least a change of surroundings while dining, why not bring it outside right? This outdoor area does not have to be huge, but a spare space inside your backyard could be turned into a functional kitchen where you can always have a picnic with your family. Decorative range hoods Adding more style to your kitchen area, range hoods are also getting an upgrade. Instead of the traditional aluminium hoods and hidden ventilation, slab materials like marble, veneer porcelain, or plaster are gaining huge popularity. Minimalistic styles such as clean white square and other different shapes are becoming more in demand.
