When it comes to the best kitchen trends 2023, it can be a minefield of ideas and designs. We talked to the trend experts to find out which kitchen trends will be big in 2023.
With cool new kitchen brands popping up and lots of innovative design ideas and clever twists on old appliance designs on display in kitchen showrooms across the country, there are plenty of on-trend looks and state-of-the-art appliances to pick from.
Below, we look at the biggest trends and new kitchen ideas and pictures of kitchens to inspire your next kitchen remodel.
1. Welcome with a sociable kitchen

Activate the ergonomic benefits of curves to get the party flowing. ‘A rounded island comes into its own when entertaining, especially in open-plan kitchens with multiple entrance/exit points, making it easier for guests to socialize and encouraging smooth transition between spaces,’ says Shehryar Khan, director, Sheraton Interior s. ‘A curved island can also include a more expansive seating area, allowing guests to comfortably eat and socialize around the kitchen island.’
2. Make your kitchen a multiuse space

‘When seeking to create a family-friendly hub, it’s great to incorporate a bespoke desk and study area. A quiet but connected space for homework or for everyday home admin,’ says Caz Myers, director of Caz Myers Design . ‘Ensure the desk area ties in seamlessly with the kitchen design by using elements of the same finishes but with a defining twist – here the timber is dominant, for example.’
3. Add smart partitions

Don’t be afraid to disrupt sightlines in a modern kitchen – not every chef enjoys an audience.
Opting for an open partition, like this mid-century-inspired installation by Muchmore Design , is a smart move. ‘Designed to work as a beautiful display as well as a functional room divider, it effectively bridges the feeling of coziness and openness within the contemporary open-plan living space,’ explains founder and creative director, Linsey Skepper.
4. Create unusual shapes for shelving

The kitchen should be a fun, interesting, and wonderful space. Gabrielle Akers of Aker Interiors created original kitchen shelving for this loft dating from 1925. ‘I set out to create something different and unexpected to soften the raw, industrial architecture,’ she says. ‘Introducing curves was paramount to bringing warmth and moments of surprise to the otherwise angular space.'
5. Take a quieter approach to interiors

With busy lives, homeowners are now more aware of their decorating choices and are aiming to find a balance between streamlined minimalism and luxury for their kitchens, which is why we will be seeing minimalist kitchen ideas soaring in popularity in 2023.
Internationally admired for his minimalist designs and monochromatic aesthetic, architect Joseph Dirand has created this elegant black and white kitchen featuring monolithic slabs of Breccia Viola marble. Fingi pendants in patinated bronze by Eric Schmitt introduce a softer line, as do Platner Collection chairs from Knoll.
6. Embrace a wood resurgence

Wood kitchen cabinets are a popular choice for those that love a timeless or classic look, so it comes as no surprise that we will be seeing more and more homeowners look for walnut and oak cabinet kitchen ideas in the near future.
‘The inspiration for this island was a 1960s slatted screen, owned by the client,’ explains Mike Fetherston, design director, Hetherington Newman . It was handmade using stained strips of walnut and topped with Calacatta Rosato marble.
7. Think about display possibilities

No space for a dresser? Glazed wall cabinets are just as beautiful and the display possibilities just as strong, albeit on a smaller scale.
Steer clear of a fitted-kitchen feel by opting for a standalone unit that’s more focal point than functional storage – perfect for walls without windows. Fill with colorful kitchen ideas, with crockery and artisanal packaging as the mood takes.
8. Invest in a shapely backsplash
(Image credit: Cullifords / Sean Fennessey)
Why end a kitchen backsplash in a straight, horizontal line when curvaceous silhouettes can prove far more enticing? Here, Australia-based designer Tamsin Johnson cut swooping curves into marble, merging backsplash and cooker hood with striking sinuousness. Also explore tiled backsplash in fish scales and hexagons for simple shape-shifting surfaces.
9. Step up

Now there’s one more reason to celebrate high ceilings – the library ladder is coming into its own. Seen in all the loftiest kitchens, statement ladders are being embraced in all their vertical glory.
‘A permanent ladder is about so much more than accessible high-level kitchen storage,’ says designer Keith Myers, founder of The Myers Touch . ‘A beautiful ladder provides an interesting, eye-catching feature, while the metal rail introduces a punchy design detail.’
10. Go for pattern play

Traditional kitchens are making a play on directional pattern. Focus on areas such as cupboard interiors and backsplashes, advises Richard Moore of Martin Moore . ‘Used in this way, pattern makes a statement without overwhelming the space or detracting from the timelessness of the cabinetry,’ he says.
11. Decorate with color of the season
(Image credit: Cullifords)
Carrara has competition – the latest natural stones are all about green, the undisputed kitchen color hero for 2023.
‘There’s a definite trend towards more impactful surface choices and we’re seeing demand soar for nature-inspired shades,’ reports Oliver Webb, director of stone specialist Cullifords.
‘From Indian marbles to Brazilian granites and even onyx, there’s a huge array of exotic green stones to be explored.’ The incredible bottle green, khaki and fresh lime tones seen here are courtesy of Cullifords.
12. Bring flooring up-to-date

Those seeking an alternative to herringbone or chevron kitchen flooring should check out mansion weave. Originating in 17th-century French mansions, this pattern is being revived for a new audience. While the latest incarnation shares the same polygons and trapezoids as the original, chunkier plank formats and pale timbers bring it up to date.
13. Introduce mirrored elements
(Image credit: David Mitchell)
An established backsplash favorite, antiqued mirrored glass is making a move onto kitchen cabinet ideas. In this home in Manhattan, David Howell, founder of DHD Architecture and Interior Design , used handblown silvered glass on the wall cabinets to bring the cityscape inside.
‘The room was set up to focus on the Manhattan views and the mirrored cabinetry was used to create an extended vista,’ he explains. Choosing mirrored glass over transparent also has fringe benefits in the form of concealment – there’s no need to keep contents neat and tidy!

When it comes to bar stools, bespoke maker Jack Trench points to a trend for more intimate perching in the kitchen.
‘This may be a single or two-stool perching point, or simply a more economically sized breakfast bar,’ says director, Jack Trench . ‘The trend stems from those with kitchen-diners, who are realising they don’t always need extensive breakfast bars in addition to a table. However, they do still want seating within the hub of the kitchen. This is where the kitchen perch comes into its own; informal seating for a quick coffee or checking emails.’
15. Create a lovely look with antique wood
(Image credit: K&H Design)
As part of the trend toward less ‘kitchen-y’ cooking spaces, classical wood kitchen ideas are making a move into the kitchen.
‘Traditional timbers are being embraced in new and unexpected ways,’ says Katie Glaister of K&H Design .
‘For example, framing a beautifully book-matched kitchen island in burr walnut with aged brass accents recreates the look of an antique bureau but, elevated on legs, it feels less cumbersome and more modern.’
16. Go for glazed tiles
(Image credit: Chris Edwards / Natalia Miyar)
A tiled kitchen backsplash is nothing new, but there will be a shift away from matt finishes and towards gloss. A glazed tile is not just easy to clean – it will also reflect the light around the room, with effective results regardless of the color.
Interior designer Natalia Miyar has these richly hued green kitchen tiles handmade in Florence. 'Paired with the rustic wood and marble work surfaces, they create a really beautiful contrast with the earthy colors, as well as adding different layers of texture to the space,' she explains. You don't need to use a saturated shade to enjoy the full impact.
For a more muted look, choose glazed white tiles, which will certainly make the most of the natural light. Zelliges will also remain a popular choice. Handcrafted in Morocco, these distinctive glazed clay tiles, with their irregular surface and varying tones, bring texture and artisan character to a scheme.
17. Mix vintage with antiques
(Image credit: Simon Brown)
Future kitchen trends are about dispelling any notions of a show home, and introducing some antique or vintage furniture into a kitchen has the immediate effect of creating a warm, lived-in home environment. Farmhouse kitchen furniture in the form of a scrubbed kitchen table or dresser is the obvious choice for a traditional look. Timeless, built to last and often inexpensive to find at vintage fairs, antique pieces will introduce character to a new space.
This design by Ben Pentreath was a 21st-century take on a Welsh farmhouse kitchen. Simple joinery, including a large larder cupboard and open shelves, combines with a butler's sink, Delft tiles, period-style lighting and antique furniture to create a timeless feel, perfectly in keeping with the house's architectural style.
18. Break up your space with partitions
(Image credit: Alexander James)
After years of breaking down walls to create large open-plan rooms, over recent times we've come to appreciate the benefits of being able to close the door and escape the soundtrack of the entire house. A glazed partition can split spaces without compromising on light or the feeling of togetherness. It also has the advantage of helping to contain smells in the kitchen area.
In his own home, Thomas Cox, co-founder of Ham Interiors , replaced the wall between the kitchen and sitting room with a reclaimed Georgian shop front. 'We like to use glazed partitions as they define area and create the illusion of space without having to be fully open plan,' he explains. 'If the existing kitchen layout won't allow for a fully glazed wall then a smaller glazed panel can enhance a space; it offers architectural interest and is also useful in providing a backdrop for a piece of furniture.'

While they are generally considered something of a necessary evil in the UK, the American approach to extractor hoods has long been more celebratory, with custom-made designs in unusual finishes making strong and defining statements in kitchens across the land.
This kitchen trend looks set to take off in a big way, too, especially in eye-catching metal surfaces.
'Aesthetically, adding a striking extractor canopy to a kitchen scheme is a chance to interrupt with shape and sculpture all the angular lines of cabinets and panels,' says Bruce Hodgson of Somerset-based Artichoke Ltd . 'This etched zinc extractor canopy is made using specialist crafts and traditional materials, throwing a spotlight on our handmade values as well as a nod to the past.
20. Focus on layered lighting
(Image credit: Eric Piasecki)
Lighting in a kitchen is always a challenge to get right but the art of layering will be key to designing kitchens successfully going forward. The reality is you only need a certain amount of task lighting in specific preparation areas, too many downlighters and the kitchen ceiling ends up looking rather like a landing strip.
New York-based Steven Gambrel Inc. is known for its sophisticated interiors. Having originally trained as an architect, he's a master at considering how kitchen lighting, kitchen layout, and functionality create a sense of place in a room.
In this family kitchen for a recently built beach house in East Hampton, Long Island, he's made a feature of the lighting, introducing two sets of bold pendants. In a large, open-plan kitchen space, choosing two such different designs adds character but also helps define the distinctive areas within the room.

With so much going on in kitchens, the risk of a visual overload is always high. Those searching for a more restrained look will need to focus on colors, which should be kept simple, and thinking about leaving wall space bare.
In this design for a house in Hudson, New York, by General Assembly, a single shelf has been used in place of wall-hung kitchen cabinets resulting in a relaxed and unfussy look. 'We grouped a full-height pantry with the fridge to give us the possibility of removing upper storage,' explains Colin Stief. 'The shelf is used in the place of cupboards to give the concrete backsplash a place to end and a visual break to the monochromatic scheme.
' As always, when working with open kitchen storage, a curated display is essential. Some designers choose to use a single open shelf for artwork rather than kitchenalia to elevate the room.
22. Evoke nature with natural elements
(Image credit: Victoria Pearson)
The use of natural materials has increased considerably during the pandemic and will strengthen in appeal as marble, granite and unpainted wood kitchen cabinets become a firm fixture. Not only do they have a rich aesthetic quality, but they are increasingly being recognized for their health benefits (reducing the amount of chemically treated items in the home).
With this beautiful design, Californian decorator Ohara Davies-Geatano of ODG Interiors demonstrates how the materials add warmth and depth to a kitchen. 'The cabinetry is cerused oak, which is incredibly durable and provides wonderful texture,' she says. 'I love how the timber highlights the depth of the limestone backsplash. The basket-style pendants introduce another layer – their scale gives great balance to the overall design.
As the materiality of the space is so tonal, the addition of the floating wood shelves enabled moments of curation.'
23. Keep storage concealed
(Image credit: Future)
Small space living gives way to even more kitchen innovation, like the small kitchen above. This chic open-plan space conceals the cooking area with chameleon-like skill, allowing the focus to be on entertaining.
Maximize the feeling of spaciousness by uniting cooking, dining and relaxing into one glorious, light-filled room. Here an uninviting and small kitchen was demolished in favour of a big living room with the kitchen tucked discreetly at one end.
The layout is flexible so it transitions from a kitchen to a dining room to a living area in an effortless way. The cooking space is as invisible as possible, with door panels looking like decorative wall finishings.
All doors are hidden, with fingerprint sensors that allow them to open and close in a smooth a manner.
24.
Introduce mesh details(Image credit: Davonport)
Bespoke kitchen specialist Davonport has added a burnished wire mesh cupboard door to its design portfolio. Teamed with diamond-cut brass handles, the look makes for a sophisticated twist on industrial style.
25. Use materials in surprising ways
(Image credit: Quirky Interiors)
Theres something free-ing about having a kitchen that doesn't feel 'off the shelf'. Even if some elements like cabinetry and appliances need to be standardized, think about adding character with practical elements sourced elsewhere.
This sink area features a rustic shelf to display pottery and a narrow geometric backsplash made of brass sits behind, creating an unusual vignette and wall decor for the kitchen.
26. Be brave with color contrasts
(Image credit: DeVOL)
Picking two shades on opposite sides of the color wheel, like pink and green, will achieve bold contrasts. Here the Classic English kitchen by deVOL is painted in a Farrow & Ball green and a custom pink.

Bright white kitchens contrast with rich timbers and soft curves to lend a modern mid-century flair to modern kitchens.
Dark walnut cabinetry works to keep the look simple with smart bespoke detailing. Tall white cabinets and light marble backsplashes and countertops draw the eye up creating an illusion of space, keeping the look fresh and of the moment.
28. Embrace the sink skirt revival
(Image credit: Beata Heuman)
Once considered outdated and frumpy, the sink skirt is back in fashion creating opportunity for texture and pattern, softening kitchen schemes and adding a touch of nostalgia.
The idea is based around replacing the base cabinet doors underneath the sink with pleated curtains, often suspended on a decorative rod. Here is an opportunity for an element that can be updated often – on trend gingham, tactile untreated linen or pale pink stripes amongst bold colors like Beata Heuman .
29. Marvel at marble
(Image credit: Blakes London)
It’s the time of strongly veined marble, the busier the better for unmissable luxury and next-level style.
If there’s one thing that’s storming the style charts and shaking up interiors, it’s the return of marble.
As an architect Natalia Miyar has a great passion for materiality and uses the finest, high quality materials in her design schemes. She says ‘heavily veined marble is making a significant comeback in the design world and has become synonymous with high-end luxury.’ A popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms, it is also highly sustainable; its durability, classic attributes and ability to withstand passing trends makes it a good investment and good choice for kitchen flooring.
Marbles with naturally strong veining add statement value and create a textural contract between other polished surfaces, metals and woods. Within a kitchen, Natalia uses marble to create an eye-catching sink or a kitchen island.
30. Wow with wood finishes
(Image credit: Caesarstone)
Out of fashion for a while, wood is now enjoying a bit of a revival. These kitchen cabinets use subtle-grained ash, paler than oak or walnut, to pick out the warm tones in manmade stone.
31. Dramatize with black
(Image credit: Neptune)
Black kitchen ideas are having something of a moment. Often overlooked as purely an 'accent' color, black walls, cabinetry and work surfaces are having something of a moment. Black becomes liveable, luxe and inviting, with textured woods adding rustic, homely charm.
32. Curate with color
(Image credit: Martin Moore)
Throw the rulebook out of the window in favor of unexpected paint-color pairings. Kitchens are rife with color opportunities, from appliances and flooring, to window treatments, kitchen tile ideas and cabinets.
Start by deciding how much of a permanent commitment you are willing to make. One of easiest and least expensive options is to change your kitchen styling or paint a wall because either can be easily updated should you tire of it. Choosing color is such a personal experience. In fact, no one knows for sure whether we all even see the myriad shades in the same way.
Mark Wilkinson, founder of Mark Wilkinson Furniture, believes that the colors we choose automatically are naturally influenced by current fashions. 'The color in a kitchen – be it on walls or fittings – should last for at least five years, minimum, so try to look beyond immediate trends and choose a kitchen color scheme that will keep you feeling good long term,' he advises.

Far from the drama of what you would expect from 'statement' lighting, the latest collection of pendants from Original BTC are quietly show-stopping. The Drop series follows the journey of a droplet of water through the air and this bone china light captures the moment when it flattens as it hits the ground.
Designed 20 years ago, it was initially pulled from the range because it proved too technically challenging to make. But, thanks to new developments, it has finally made a long-awaited appearance.
34. Double up with your islands
(Image credit: Kitchen Architecture)
With the move towards larger kitchens, in open plan spaces, the kitchen island has become an essential kitchen feature.
New double kitchen island ideas, such as opting for a pair of island units, has become the last work in luxury - an expansive addition for when space is no object.

The latest modern designs are all about multi-tasking, free-flowing designs with a paired-back look. Technological advances in push-open and close doors mean that it has become possible to dispense with handles in both wall and base cabinets.
If you prefer not to have push-open cupboards, then recessed handles provide the same sleek look and can be lined with contrasting colors and materials to add interest.
'Handleless kitchen cabinets are one of the biggest trends for 2023 for a more pared-back, streamlined look. It’s all about simplicity and a focus on cabinetry details,' explains Busola Evans, Kitchen and Bathroom Supplement Editor.
36. Create a space for a pantry
(Image credit: Harvey Jones)
Pantry cupboards have been kitchen staples for centuries.
In the last few years, pantry ideas such as pantry cupboards have established themselves as one of the must-have items in modern homes.
'Having a pantry makes perfect sense. All the food goods are in one place and not scattered around in numerous wall cupboards, meaning people can be more organized when doing their food shopping.
'The other great advantage of a larder and its storage capacity is that a kitchen no longer needs to be full of wall cupboards. It frees up entire walls to either be left free or have an attractive piece of artwork in the kitchen which in turn helps it feel less like a kitchen and instead more of a relaxed environment, perfect for open plan living areas,' says Leisha Norman, Designer, Harvey Jones.
37. Make room for two
(Image credit: LochAnna Kitchens)
'The trend for clever storage continues to be a key design choice due to the practicality it offers,' says Paul Jenkinson, founder and managing director of British kitchen brand LochAnna Kitchens .
'From bi-fold dressers to tower and corner larders, storage can be both a design and practical trend.
'Storage is and will continue to be, a big part of the kitchen space. For those with smaller kitchens, the need for clever kitchen storage ideas in this space is crucial in terms of efficiently utilizing the room you have.
'In bigger, minimalist kitchens, clever storage allows for clutter to be easily tidied away. Many homeowners are adding more storage solutions into their kitchens as a way of storing their office supplies as they adapt to working from home indefinitely.'
38. Choose a dark wood
(Image credit: Charles Yorke)
We have recently seen a rise in walnut cabinetry. It’s rich, dark color, fine grain and natural warmth are prized by makers for its feeling of instant luxury.
39. Shine with gold

Now that faucets are available in a wide choice of colors and finishes, sinks are following too, and shouldn't drive up the average cost of a new kitchen too much.
Aesthetics have made an impact in wet areas just as they have in furniture and appliance design, with color, shape, size and material heavily influenced by the overall look of the room.
'Sinks have moved up on the scale of importance in kitchen design,' says Joan Fraser, product development and training manager for Smeg. 'Models are introduced to meet customers’ demands for a sink which, in addition to being purely functional, also makes a definitive style statement.'
40. Enhance a kitchen with metallic features
(Image credit: Ledbury Studio)
A by-product of metallics in the kitchen comes the demand for well-executed quality materials that don’t just look good, but have integrity, too. 'That’s why I decided against metallic finishes sprayed onto wood, in favor of real metals that I could work with sensitively to bring out their natural beauty’, says Charlie Smallbone.
The founder of iconic brand Smallbone of Devizes and Ledbury Studio, Charlie has been pushing the boundaries of kitchen design for over 40 years.
41. Go for a fully curated design
(Image credit: British Standard)
As pride in interior styling takes center stage, we have witnessed an increase in sales of glazed cupboards and opening shelving, following a growing demand for kitchens designed for a ‘curated’ look.
Thoughtfully designed, these visual spaces are carefully styled with artworks, decorative ceramics, cookery books and other curiosities, to achieve an instant lived in look – adding personality and resulting in a space that feels homely.
'In an age of uncertainty and with busy digital lives, people are increasingly nostalgic for a space to slow down and surround themselves with the comfort and security of tactile items and personal treasures. We are moving away from hiding everything away in cupboards, instead drawing inspiration from displays of china and silverware in glazed cabinets and on shelving, racks and dressers of grand houses – the end result sitting between the maximalist and minimalist styles,' says Merlin Wright, Design Director at British Standard and Plain English .
42. Put appliances in drawers
(Image credit: Fisher & Paykel)
This isn't so much a new innovation – Fisher & Paykel introduced its first DishDrawer™ 20 years ago. However, as we become more interested in the ergonomics of our kitchens – and more of us suffer back problems – these innovative appliances will become more popular.
Fisher & Paykel’s DishDrawer™ and CoolDrawer™ provide an array of functions that make life easier. When placed at bench height, the need to bend down is significantly reduced and there is no longer a need for you to get on your knees to fill the salt, rinse aid or detergent – it is as easy to open as a normal drawer.
43. Embrace the trend for 'broken-plan' living
(Image credit: British Standard)
Set to define the next decade, zoning will replace open-plan when planning a kitchen in 2022 and beyond. The new phenomenon is being referred to as ‘broken-plan’. Retaining the spacious feel of an open plan design, the trend employs the use of screens, freestanding furniture, cabinetry and house plants to create distinct zones and nest-like nooks intended for cooking, relaxing and entertaining.
44. Make space for a mudroom
(Image credit: British Standard)
Ancillary spaces – we mean functional but thoughtfully considered utility, pantry, larder and mudrooms – provide the perfect space in which to house everyday essentials away from the main kitchen. Ancillary spaces and larder cupboards have become the ultimate status symbol and are fast becoming number one on kitchen wish lists.
‘Having a utility room has become a status symbol. Coupled with the current trend for neat and tidy spaces and zealous cleaning, it provides a much-needed dedicated housekeeping area,’ says Design Director at British Standard and Plain English, Merlin Wright.
45. Paint your kitchen
(Image credit: Future / Richard Gadsby)
The year 2022 saw the revival of hand-painted kitchens – and this kitchen trend continues into 2022. 'They wear well, age even better and continue to be repairable in ways that a factory-applied laminate cannot match,' says Ledbury Studio founder, Charlie Smallbone.
'From this point of view, hand painting is also more ecologically sound.'
One of the most appealing and varied finishes for kitchen cabinetry, paint lends itself to both the classic looks of the traditional kitchen and to crisply modern linear designs.
The advantage is in its almost limitless choice of colors, allowing you free rein to express yourself, whether your home is period or contemporary, country or urban. And you can always re-paint if you want a change or update in the future.
46. Add intrigue to the ceiling
(Image credit: The Shaker Workshop/Maple Photo)
Our feature on Instagram kitchen trends looked into what was trending on social media for kitchens. Unsurprisingly, kitchen islands came out tops, but the next searched term was 'pendant lights'.
More than just a practical addition, kitchen pendant lighting is a decorative feature over worktop spaces, too.
'Lighting is key to any kitchen design scheme,' comments Sarah Davies of Floella Interiors.
'My advice would be: be open to exploring different pendant kitchen lighting. For example, grouping multiple pendants to add drama to the kitchen.'
47. Decorate with retro fittings
(Image credit: Colin Poole)
Design styles from the past will be making a comeback – but with a new, contemporary spin. Inspired by the painted kitchen of thirty years ago, Ledbury Studio are reinterpreting paint finishes and wood tints to sit beautifully alongside more modern kitchen designs.
48. Mix materials for instant interest
(Image credit: Ledbury Studio)
Contrast is king when it comes to mixing materials; the trick is to make sure that every material used encourages the others to really sing.
Brass and steel married with marble and dark timbers prove a winning formula in this luxurious and vibrant family kitchen by Ledbury Studio .
'Use a fusion of tactile materials to achieve a confident blending of styles,' advises architect Natalia Miyar.
'Marble, wood and metallics complement each other well with different shades of wood and metal often bringing warmth and contrast to a cold marble surface.
'Using contrasting materials for different worktops within a kitchen naturally creates different zones within a room, not only making a space more practical but aesthetically creates a visually pleasing and harmonious space to live in.'
49. Layer tones and texture in white kitchens
(Image credit: Classic English Kitchen by deVOL)
There are many good reasons why white kitchens are so enduringly popular: white is calm, neat, minimal and light-enhancing – all must-have qualities in a space that's increasingly busy (and sometimes somewhat chaotic).
White is also so easy to change up: 'white cabinets are great for giving you that fresh clean minimal look but are also a great backdrop for layering up color and texture,' says Sarah Davies of Floella Interiors.
And, of course, white kitchens are the most likely to please potential buyers, should you decide it's time to move on.
50. Make a feature of bare walls

Over 122,000 of us have tagged our floating shelves on Instagram – at our last count. Not only are they practical, but they are the perfect spot to show off your most attractive kitchen accessories, making your kitchen feel more like a living space than a cooking space.

Originally a room in the home used for storing and preserving foods (think: the refrigerator before the refrigerator was invented), the kitchen larder has transformed into a stand-alone cupboard or pantry. They can be large enough to house the majority of your dry goods but small enough to keep things organized while taking up a minimal amount of valuable space.

How to organize your kitchen space?
Are you a housewife and often stay in the kitchen? Or, on the contrary, do you rarely drop into the kitchen, and then only to warm up pizza from a restaurant? The interior should take into account your lifestyle, as well as a few rules and solutions that will help make the room, cooking area and modern kitchen sets comfortable and functional.
Imagine that you take a large pot of borscht out of the refrigerator and you need to carry it to the stove. In such cases, you don’t really want to travel long distances indoors, do you?
The layout of the kitchen should be arranged in such a way that there is space between the countertop between the refrigerator and the stove, and between the stove and the sink. This will minimize effort and cut down on kitchen fuss. And to make it as comfortable as possible for you to cook in your kitchen, the main cooking area should be at least 80 cm long.
Storage in a kitchen set
The kitchen is the place that is least subject to the trend of total minimalism. Naturally, food stocks, sets of ingredients, decor and utensils for themed holidays are formed in the kitchen. In order not to get lost among the variety of things, consider storage systems in the kitchen set.
Rotating shelves and pull-out systems
They are used in the corner cabinets of the headset. Thanks to such systems, everything that you store in a locker can be in front of you in a matter of seconds.
The drawer system or "Magic Corner" works like this - you open the door of the kitchen cabinet, after it the first basket is pulled out, and then the second one.
Rotating Shelf or "Carousel" is a system that consists of several semi-circular shelves that rotate around an axis. If you need to get something from a far corner, open the door and twist the shelf.
Drawers
Drawers in the kitchen are much more convenient than ordinary shelves. To find the desired item in the depths of an ordinary shelf, you have to rearrange and pull out all the contents from the kitchen cabinet. And we put forward the box, look from top to bottom and see everything that lies there.
If you don't want to spoil the fronts of the kitchen with drawers, you can hide them behind the doors.
Vertical pull-out systems
A modern kitchen cannot do without them! They can be installed in any unoccupied space of the kitchen room - where there would not be enough space for standard cabinets. ⠀
Storage here is not carried out horizontally, as in boxes, but vertically - on two or more levels. In vertical pull-out systems, special containers can be designed so that the containers do not hit each other and do not fall when closed. You can provide a bar for kitchen textiles, place baking sheets, dishes and more.
Modern trends in kitchen furniture
Looking for interesting and unusual ideas for kitchen design that will follow the current trends? All these kitchen trends are actively gaining popularity, read our blog and take note.
Mezzanine
This is an additional tier of the kitchen set, which is located above the top row of cabinets. In them you can store things that you rarely use. If you hang mezzanines in the kitchen, they will close the gap between the ceiling and the upper cabinets, which will not allow dust to accumulate. In addition, the kitchen to the ceiling looks very organic and holistic.
Kitchen without the top line of cabinets
Such a kitchen destroys stereotypes - the design of the room immediately acquires individuality and a special style. In addition, there is more open space and light, and difficult places to clean disappear. This is a great solution for the interior of the kitchen, if the area allows. In this case, instead of the usual apron, tiles up to the ceiling will look great.
Give the island to the kitchen!
This is one of the longest-running trends and significant current trends in 2022. The island is not only an extravagant area for cooking or washing dishes, the island creates a space for communication and leisure activities. In addition, this is both an additional storage space and a stylish interior element that zones the space more efficiently than a bar counter.
Invisible kitchens
This is the most intriguing trend in the kitchen world and an interesting interior solution. How to hide the kitchen so that no one can see it? The set is closed with a sliding door or other modern mechanisms. Why is this design needed? It will transform the interior of a combined kitchen and living room or studio apartment. For example, when guests arrive, you can close the kitchen worktop, turn the room into a full-fledged living room and keep the design of the room.
What material and color to choose for the kitchen in 2022
Dark or light? Beige, white or maybe orange? This is not to say that some material or color cannot be used for kitchen interiors in 2022. We will tell you what trends in materials and colors for kitchens are gaining popularity now, and what combinations will look stylish, and you will be inspired by ideas and choose what is closer.
Materials for kitchens 2022
Complex combinations of different materials in the interior are the main trend of 2022, and the most natural and close to nature design remains in fashion. So don't be afraid to combine marble, tile, glass, wood, granite, metal, etc.
For example, wooden facades and countertops imitating wood texture have been popular in the interior for several decades. And if you include glass decor, an apron, a set with glass details or a panoramic window in the interior, it will become more airy, light, light and sophisticated.
Colored marble is also becoming more and more popular every year – white, grey, pale beige or dark green is not so important. Marble will be a great solution for decorating an apron, countertop or kitchen island.
Kitchen color 2022
Choosing a color for any part of the interior is difficult, even if it's just a wall. We repeat that in the near future colors close to natural and natural will be relevant. Don't be alarmed, this palette is very diverse.
True, listen to your inner feelings! For example, green color can calm some people, and oppress others. Dark tones seem inspiring to some and gloomy to others. Some associate white with purity and tenderness, while others associate it with straining sterility. Pastel colors, turquoise or gold can please or repulse you. Design is a delicate matter.
White. The white color of the kitchen visually looks more spacious and lighter. You can liven up its design with contrasting accessories, countertops, backsplash or trim. White is a universal color, it is appropriate in any style of interior. In addition, white is easy to combine with any other shades.

White is a universal color that fits into any interior style. In addition, white is easy to combine with any other shades.
Green. Nature cannot be imagined without it, which is why it is at the peak of popularity in interior design. All shades of green are relevant - from light olive to dark deep and bright emerald.
The kitchen in these shades looks very elegant. To refresh the space, you can add white to green - this combination is most common.
Blue. Interior design in any tones of blue will soon blow up the top - the color of the deep ocean, indigo, heavenly soft blue, etc.
This cool color can be diluted with white, grey, beige or wood to make it more cozy.
Various shades of soil. This includes the color of the sand, and beige, and gray, and deep dark brown.
Depending on the choice of shade, the design of the room and its mood can vary dramatically.
Grey. He should be given special attention, although he is included in the previous group. Gray will easily compete with white.
Gray design is not as boring as you might think. Gray is a whole palette of shades. A gray kitchen is an interior for all times.
IMPORTANT! When designing a kitchen space, you should pay attention not only to the choice of colors, but also their number in one room.
In 2022, the design in monochrome and with a combination of three colors will be relevant.
Monochrome design. In this design option, you can take any trendy color as the main color (see above) and combine it with shades, make interesting transitions. The main thing is to observe the main color scheme.
The design of such a room will look very restrained, strict and concise. Against the background of a plain facade, you can experiment with the design of the apron. For example, an apron can be trimmed with multi-colored small tiles.
Three-color kitchen. To bring this design to life, you should consult a color wheel or an experienced interior designer. Primary colors should be selected those that are at an equal distance in this circle. For example, orange, emerald and purple go well together.
Popular kitchen interior styles in 2022
As you already understood in 2022, you can use white, gray, beige, and dark bright colors - blue and green in interior design. So how do you decide which color to choose and how to design the room? We recommend analyzing interior design trends, choosing the right one and relying on the colors that are characteristic of them.
Trends can change every year, and of course you don't want to renovate your interior so often. We have collected for you several styles that will be relevant for more than one season in interior design.
Eco-style kitchen
More and more often we can hear the prefix “eco”. Eco-product, eco-house, eco-city. So eco-friendly design is also in trend. An eco-style kitchen involves approaching nature. These can be wooden furniture fronts, wood-like finishes, plant prints, sunny yellow accents, small lamps, and a large number of houseplants. With the right combination of details, this style can compete with all ultra-modern ones.
Minimalist kitchen
This design has won the hearts of many. Today it is chosen not only as an interior style, but also as a comfortable concept of life in general. Minimalism is built on three pillars - space and light, functionality, and the absence of visual noise. Here you need to leave both the countertop and the apron empty. How to create a kitchen in compliance with these principles? Here's what will help us.
Built-in appliances - oven, hob, dishwasher, refrigerator, extractor hood, coffee maker, microwave oven. All this can be found even in kitchens without a table, which cannot boast of square meters.
Sockets that can be pulled out of the worktop as needed or concealed in a drawer.
Household waste disposer, which is located under the sink and avoids the accumulation of food waste in the common bin.
The new flush-mounted detergent dispenser eliminates the ever-falling and visually noisy bottles.
Furniture without handles. To open such a cabinet, simply press the door or pull the hidden Gola system.
Minimalism involves the use of predominantly light neutral colors - white, gray, beige, ocher, light wood, etc.
But it does not mean at all that there cannot be something unusual in the room. For example, a trim or an apron can become a place for embodying the most daring and bright ideas, though without the use of accent ornaments and patterns.
High tech kitchen
This design also incorporates the principles of minimalism - there is no place for kitchen utensils decorating an apron or a lace tablecloth. Its signs are clear geometric lines and the obligatory presence of high technologies. In this style, high technology must be in every detail! If your kitchen has not been equipped with at least a “smart home” system that turns on the light on cotton, then this is already “Hi so”.
When creating a high-tech kitchen in 2022, plan original lighting, a minimum number of fittings, furniture with perfectly even and smooth facades. For decoration and decor, use chrome-plated metals, glass, concrete or marble. This is a very unusual design, but very interesting!
The most common high-tech color scheme is dark or black and white.
