The kitchen is the self-proclaimed workhorse of the home, so it should be designed with multi functionality in mind. While following trends may feel like a fleeting pursuit, when it comes to kitchen design Colwyn Bay, they often outlast their time in the spotlight.
Contrasting Worktops
Contrasting counter materials with cabinetry colour adds major drama to a kitchen. White-oak cabinets and dark granite worktops not only differentiate the kitchen area in this open floor plan, they also add a level of sophistication and warmth to the space.
Sleek Cabinetry
We have been seeing less and less crown moldings used on the tops of the upper cabinets. Clients are opting for a cleaner look that isn’t too decorative at the top. It also can help with adding more storage space to cabinetry, because then you don’t have to worry about giving an interior shelf to the molding.
Colourful Kitchen Tiles
A backsplash is the best place to add a pop of colour into a kitchen design without having to do a full kitchen renovation. While white kitchens will always be in style, people seem to be taking more risks with colour and design these days.
Matching the Worktop & Backsplash
Extending the worktop material up the backsplash allows you to streamline the number of materials in a kitchen and create a clean and contemporary look. It also results in a beautiful background for dinnerware and accessories on open shelving.
Steel Extractor Hoods
Steel hoods are the new trend of 2020. We are noticing a surge in custom kitchen hoods that steer away from the boring stainless steel or basic painted wood. We’ve been implementing steel and plaster work into our designs more and more, and we are loving how these are becoming a focal point and conversation piece for our kitchens.
Unexpected Colour Pop
Using colour in unexpected places like matching appliances and extractor hoods. If you love having some colour, it’s a fun way to incorporate it and make a regular appliance feel special and custom.
Gravity-Defying Island
Lots of homeowners are looking to maximise the sense of clean, open space within apartment kitchens, and have been drawn to gravity-defying islands. With these unique islands, the functional elements of the kitchen recede to reveal more space and become an extension of the architecture itself. They can also have a chameleon effect, bridging the gap between classic, pre-war architecture and more contemporary-feeling spaces. If your kitchen needs extra design help, architects Chester can help with bringing your vision to life.
Open Shelving for Decor
There has been a long-running trend of open shelving for dinner and glassware. Recently, we have been seeing kitchen shelves that hold antique cookware, gilded vintage glasses, and copper pots baring their patina. Blending old-world with modern appliances is so warm and inviting.
