Top Kitchen Design Trends Of 2022
Are you looking to renovate or revamp your kitchen? Check out our top 5 kitchen design trends for 2022:
1. Organic
Bringing nature inside was a definite design trend for 2021. As people were forced to stay indoors they introduced natural, organic materials in their home design. Think marble, wood and a green colour palette. The green we’re seeing trending is a subtle sage colour, a nod to biophilic design. This design trend will continue in 2022, as homeowners will utilise natural materials to create relaxing spaces indoors.
2. Luxury Appliances
With everyone spending more time at home, homeowners have embraced home cooking and therefore spending more on appliances. Wine fridges, steam ovens and double ovens have never been more popular. Cooking during the pandemic has everyone re-evaluating what they need in the kitchen and spending accordingly. As well as functionality, custom-built appliance doors designed to match the other kitchen cabinets are on trend – integrating appliances into the carefully imagined colour scheme.
3. Minimalist Mid-century
Mid-century design is set to be a big trend in 2022. Think Mad Men-inspired rather than the Brady Bunch. To include minimalist mid-century into your kitchen, introduce antiques into the kitchen as multipurpose furniture such as breakfast tables and include vintage clocks and artwork on your walls.
4. Splashbacks Meet Countertops
Splashbacks can be joined to countertops, to create a sleek surface made of a single material that creates a visually relaxing effect. Instead of choosing a separate tile and countertop, select the same material over both spaces, appearing both unifying and clean. It’s one of the easiest ways to update an outdated kitchen and lends easy sophistication to the space. This look also creates the illusion of space in smaller kitchens.
5. Unique Tiles
Feature tiles have never been more fashionable. Whether they’re a bold colour or a carefully chosen pattern, quirky designs have overtaken the ubiquitous white or cream tile. Tiles are usually the first area of a kitchen to date the room, and a unique tile creates a style that is difficult to pin down to a certain year. With new designers hitting the market, there is certainly a greater selection than ever before.
The trends we’re seeing now are a development of fashions we saw emerge in 2021, but the rule is to adapt what you personally like. Use these ideas to develop a kitchen that you love and you’ll always be on-trend.
