"What’s trending in kitchen design right now?"
It’s a question we get constantly! While no two kitchens we design are the same, we love seeing new trends emerge. Here is a quick look at what’s currently taking over Ireland and across Europe:
🎨Warmer Tones: Cool greys and bright blues are stepping aside for warmer, natural tones. We are seeing a massive shift toward cozy, welcoming shades like Taupe Grey and Cashmere that blend seamlessly with the rest of your home.
🪵Woodgrain Accents: Oak and natural woodgrains are making a huge comeback—not as the main event, but as beautiful accents. Think secondary door colours, open shelving, or feature panelling.
📐 Door Styles: Classic Shaker doors still rule the roost, but the new 'Microshaker' is making serious waves as a sleek, contemporary alternative to a standard slab door.
💡 Smart Budget Options: Foil-wrapped door technology has advanced massively, offering a cost-effective alternative to solid painted doors without compromising on quality. A prime example is our incredibly popular Pembridge door!
🔄 Softer Lines: Curves are becoming highly popular in our layouts, creating a more dynamic, fluid, and welcoming flow through the space.
📦 Clever Storage: Internal storage gets smarter every month. From highly functional base unit pull-outs to advanced corner solutions, the focus is entirely on convenience and maximizing space (even extending into the utility room!).
💡 Integrated Lighting: Lighting isn't an afterthought anymore; it’s a core design feature. Sensor-controlled lighting, illuminated shelves, and under-cabinet LEDs are essential for setting the perfect mood and enhancing aesthetics.
Ready to start your own kitchen journey? We hope this gives you some inspiration for your dream space!
