Designing a new kitchen is a very exciting endeavour, especially if it’s been a while since it was last renovated or if it’s never been done before. Learning the 2022 kitchen trends will help you decide what’s best for your space.
Whether you’re looking for a new change to your kitchen’s colour, are looking to update your lighting, or are in need of a refresh with some new hardware, there’s a lot that can be done to help you renovate your kitchen in style! The kitchen typically reflects who you are, so give it that personal touch while still using current trends.
It’s easy to assume that dark colours make rooms seem smaller, but they can provide a comfortable ambiance with the right lighting. At Prep’n Sell we’ve seen a shift from recent trends that focus on traditional white and bright colours throughout the kitchen. For example, above you can see a great way darker tones in this kitchen can offer a cozy ambience that is inviting.
Tip: Use a neutral colour that matches your counters and appliances. Keep some brighter elements throughout to give your kitchen the light it requires.
Spoil yourself it’s your kitchen. If you’re a person who loves to cook and needs more space, a butler’s pantry is a dream come true. They can be used for more storage space, a designated prep area for meals when cooking, or the morning coffee spot to make the perfect cup of joe!
Tip: Use a vacant spot in your kitchen. It doesn’t need to be a huge space, just convenient.
Luxury is in the details. So get those details right by using unique cabinet accessories that work with your overall theme. For example, use metals that contrast your overall kitchen colour. Focusing on kitchen hardware like cabinet handles, the faucets, or your lighting can make all the difference in a kitchen’s overall appearance. Use unique hardware like envelope handles or slitted cabinets. When it comes to kitchen accessories there are no limits and it can make a big difference!
Tip: Get accessories that go great with your kitchen’s overall style. Like storage areas on top of the counter or cooking accessories.
At Prep’n Sell we have been noticing a return to more classic and traditional kitchens. In the last few years, modern all-white kitchens have been very popular, but a classic kitchen gives off a more inviting cozy feeling. Kitchens are the main room in a home, it should be functional and cozy so you want to spend time in there. A classic kitchen is all about the fine details using a variety of metal colours, glass panel cabinets and handles that work with the overall appearance.
Tip: You can get brass or gold hardware which is great for an overall cozy tone. As for the wall colours, at Prep’n Sell we have seen a trend towards darker blues or green hues in the last year. If you prefer your kitchen in a lighter tone use creams, whites, or grey colour pallets.
At Prep’n Sell we know material quality is very important when building the perfect kitchen. For example, a minimalist kitchen will allow natural materials to showcase the room. Using marble, wood, quartz, or any other material that reminds you of nature can really show that desired look in your home. With tiles, matte finishes are also recommended. You can also try using motifs that are subtle and work well with the overall style.
Tip: Try to make sure that most of your finish is rather matte. Look at allowing marble slabs to have prominent veins or if you plan to have terrazzo flooring aim to have larger composite material used if they’re all in warm or neutral tones.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that trends come and go every year and you should be asking yourself what you’re going to want in your kitchen throughout the years you live there. Make sure the look you’re going for is something that you’ll want long-term as kitchen renovations are costly and it’s important to spend that money wisely with the style you want for your kitchen.
