Modern kitchens combine functionality, technology and aesthetics into a cohesive and attractive pared-back style. Here are some of the top kitchen design trends heading into the summer of 2022:

Colours

Key kitchen colours of 2022 are bold, dark, rich greens and dramatic midnight blues. They are commonly offset by neutral whites, ivories, and greige colours. Muted reds, yellows and mauves are also being used in modern kitchens.

Two-Tone Kitchens

Juxtaposed contrasting colours and textures continue to make a big impression on kitchen design in 2022 and will likely enjoy a lengthy stay in the limelight.

No longer are we seeing unified kitchen and cabinetry themes, and two-tone designs are used to create character, counterpoint and excitement in your kitchen.

Dark

Black could very well be the kitchen colour of the year, having made the mainstream transition from accent to primary colour. It’s joined by very dark shades of emerald and navy in a palette modern kitchen design draws on to create ultra-luxurious, ultra-modern spaces.

Textured Marble & Wood

Heavy grains and texture are a big part of the modern style, with wide-veined marble worktops in high demand. Natural wood like oak and ash are also being used to create homely warmth and charm. In addition, as sustainable living continues to influence modern kitchen design, reclaimed wood kitchen cabinetry and wall features are also a fast-emerging trend.

Streamlined Minimalism

One of the hallmarks of the modern style is its clean, sleek and unembellished presentation. Frameless, flat-panel cabinetry with clean lines and edging are key to contemporary kitchens, often coupled with handleless cabinet doors to create pared-back, sleek, modern look to your kitchen.

Smart Storage

Reducing the visual clutter of the contemporary kitchen relies on smart storage solutions to not only increase storage density, but maintain easy access to all stored items and keep your kitchen ergonomic and a dream to use.

Pantries & Larders

An essential part of how we think about modern kitchen storage: pantries and larders centralise your dry foods storage, resulting in less kitchen cupboard space and a more open plan style kitchen. Larders and pantries are convenient and space-efficient, standalone units for storage.

Floating, Open Shelves

Open shelving creates more room in your kitchen, while also allowing you to showcase your most attractive or antique kitchenware.

Kitchen Living

Open plan has also encouraged designers to make kitchens more ‘liveable’ and comfortable. People gather and spend a lot of time in today’s kitchens, so it makes sense to have a comfortable and usable space for while you’re preparing meals.

Hot Water Taps

Having instant access to 100° C boiling water is an extremely convenient addition to your kitchen. It doesn’t just save you time when boiling water; it removes the need to have a standalone kettle completely.
