Kitchen Trends for the New Year

Kitchen trends will come and go each year, so when designing your kitchen you want a look that lasts for many years.

Our designers at Jikoni are experts in the field of designing and showing you different ideas that work in with your space and budget.

1. Natural

Choosing natural hues by adding timber wood or oak trim cabinets creates a warm natural look, a look that lasts years. Cream and cashmere tones in a kitchen will accentuate a spacious tranquil atmosphere as well as bring character to your kitchen.

2. Texture

Texture is achieved by adding contrasting materials and finishes when opting for super matt or glossy cupboards. Both these finishes create a clean crisp look. Simplicity is key to achieving this look, less is more. Matt finishes are the choice people are opting for, purely because of the texture and the fact that there is less maintenance when it comes to cleaning them, as no oily finger-marks are less visible on matt textures.

3. Splashbacks

Adding patterned splashbacks or backboards, are on a comeback. Marble effect, bright coloured or patterned splashbacks add a signature look to a kitchen creating uniqueness. It could potentially also be more cost effective and time saving than tiling.

4. Handles

Antique, pewter, aged brass, tarnished brass or copper handles replace the polished chrome look people usually go for, adding a more vintage and classic style. Choosing champagne gold or brass handles against forest green or deep navy-blue cupboards will add sophistication to your kitchen.

5. Dark Tones

Dark Tones in a kitchen create a dramatic statement such as dark grey or charcoal cupboards and contrasting shades for worktops will add calmer ambience. Deeper hues of dark colours create a modern look with a contemporary and Scandinavian feel. Adding minimal features and furnishings will tie up the kitchen beautifully, such as a large ceramic fruit bowl or maybe a Bonsai plant.

The options are endless at Jikoni Interiors, we aim create you your own unique style of kitchen and design it to suit your needs and taste.
