If you're considering re-designing or renovating your existing kitchen space, here are the kitchen trends you need to know about in 2023.
Social Kitchen Islands
Kitchen islands have always been on trend but this year we expect to see a big focus on them as they become the social area of the kitchen space. Kitchen islands this year will be focused on providing more seating to allow the space to be inclusive if you're cooking, entertaining or sitting as a family. By centralising the cooking area, it allows the chef to be a part of the socialising while they cook whilst not reducing worktop space. These areas are fantastic for grabbing a quick seat and a bite to eat or helping the kids with their homework while you cook dinner.
Natural Material Countertops
Natural stone is a timeless choice for many homeowners and we expect it to be one of the most popular choices this year. Known for it's style and practicality, natural stone worktops work for both modern and traditional kitchen styles. Here at Bathroom & Kitchen Planet we use Dekton and Silestone for ultimate quality and outstanding finish. These stones make fabulous centre pieces on an island or a more subtle but luxurious splashback.
Warming Drawers
One design element that will be popular this year, due to the increase in at home cooking and entertainment in the last few years, will be warming drawers. These clever additions to your oven are small and subtle yet provide a great deal of help at mealtimes. Weather you are looking to prove bread, warm plates or keep food warm until serving these drawers are a must for any keen cooks.
Practical Pantries
The trend for organised, practical pantries is going to remain strong for this year. It's no secret why pantries have always been a popular choice - they give you enormous amounts of storage space, keep your kitchen organised and can look incredible. Walk in pantries are going to be a big hit this year as homeowners opt to de-clutter the walls and keep their cooking space clear.
Shades Of Green
Our designers predict that soothing tones of green will emulate from kitchen designs in 2023. Weather it be soothing sage green or dark and moody forest green, these colours bring style and character to any design. With many looking to incorporate natural tones and plants throughout the home, green kitchen design has seen a huge boost. Perfectly complimented with bright white splashbacks and earthy wooden flooring.
