When it comes to a kitchen redesign, picking out a color scheme is almost as important as the layout. As the heart of the home for many, we spend a lot of time in our kitchens, whether we are cooking, eating, or having a coffee with friends. 

While we often look at what is trending when designing a space, there are certainly a few colors you should never paint a kitchen – and experts think a few more kitchen colors will be joining the list. 

Here, experts have shed light on three colors that may well be falling out of fashion for 2023's kitchens. 

The 3 kitchen colors falling out of fashion for 2023

When considering painted kitchen ideas, listening to color trends may not always be the best idea. Here are the kitchen trends that might not last into the new year. 

1. Bold shades

Colorful kitchen ideas have been saturating trends in 2022, with bold shades waking up dreary spaces and dopamine dressing our kitchens. Despite this, this willful trend seems to be on its way out in 2023 as the novelty supposedly wears off a little. 

‘Recently, there has been a heavy draw toward boldly painted cabinetry. While this trend comes and goes we are consistently receiving requests for more sensible, blended options,’ says Bob Bakes, head of design at Bakes & Kropp . ‘As we near 2023, homeowners are less drawn to cabinetry in trending colors, and instead, opt for compelling accents. Whether it be a classic red range hood or refined metals, homeowners are looking to make a statement in a more practical fashion.’

2. Muted greys

The suggestion that grey kitchen ideas are falling out of fashion is certainly on the controversial side, with this timeless shade being a safe, default hue for many kitchen designs. However, even if bold tones are fading out of fashion, the desire to add personality to the home remains.

‘2023 is really going to see the change in the relationship that people have with their homes, with homeowners not being afraid to express their individual personalities,’ Helen Shaw, Benjamin Moore ’s UK director begins. ‘Being the social hub, the kitchen is crucial in setting the tone for the house, and instead of muted, pastel tones and shades of grey, we will see a move into slightly more saturated colors and warmer throughout.’

3. Bright hues

Just as deeper bold hues are falling out of fashion in 2023, the over-the-top bright hues that have been popular in 2022 are fading too. From provocative yellow kitchen ideas to daring red kitchen ideas, overly saturated tones seem to be proving themselves just a little too much for the next year. 

‘2022 was the year for bright and colorful kitchens, with green and yellow being desirable colors across the interiors space,’ reflects Alex Main, director at The Main Company . ‘I’m already seeing a move towards more mellow kitchen colors in 2023 that include neutral and earthier colors that connect more with nature such as rich browns and reds, natural woods, and more neutral off-whites and greys – paired best with natural stone kitchen countertops and backsplashes such as marble. ’

What color kitchens are in for 2023? 

As with previous years, the kitchen color trending for 2023 continues to be neutrals. While timeless whites are certainly still in, neutral kitchens will be leaning a little warmer this year, with warmer beiges and wood tones favored. 

What is the most timeless kitchen cabinet color?

The most timeless kitchen cabinet color is white. A classic color for kitchens of all sizes, a white base allows for a range of decorating choices throughout the rest of the space. Whites allow for a transformative space, offering energy – and making a space feel lighter.

We demand a lot from our kitchens, because now more than ever, they are the most functional space within our homes – providing a place to cook, eat, work, rest, and entertain. All the latest kitchen trends cater to providing the best design solutions to maximize the key demands of this versatile space.

Kitchen trends 2023: 13 inspirational ideas

“With the kitchen often labeled as the heart of the home, we tend to see a lot of personalization and upgrades added to this part of the house," says Jo Winston, sales and marketing director at St. Modwen Homes . 

"Homebuyers love making their kitchen space unique, adapting to both their interior taste and their day-to-day needs. With the New Year just around the corner, we are already seeing trends emerging in our customer's kitchen design choices, and it’s clear that 2023 is set to be a year of unexpected color, precious metals, and natural countertops. "

Here are the predicted kitchen designs and ideas set to be hugely popular with homeowners next year...

1. Social kitchen islands

Kitchen islands are one of the interior design features that can help sell your house, considered a worthwhile investment for any kitchen - so they are always on trend. But for 2023 kitchen islands are evolving to become even more of a point of focus, as they become more socially focused.

Kitchen island design next year will be tailored to incorporate more seating, to ensure the space is completely inclusive, whether cooking, entertaining or just relaxing with the family.

 "Whatever its size or style, the kitchen island, as its name suggests, is a centralized feature," explains luxury kitchen designer Tom Howley . "It’s in a handy position that allows you to utilize every inch of space. By centralizing cooking or preparation areas, it makes the kitchen much more sociable, allowing the chef to talk to others as they get dinner ready instead of standing with their back to family and friends. "

2. Natural timber tones

Our desire to welcome nature into our homes is undoubtedly one of the biggest interior design trends of recent years. It's therefore, unsurprising that one of the key kitchen trends in 2023 is that of welcoming natural timber tones. 

“We are seeing such a demand for timber in the kitchen, especially oak options," explains Melissa Klink, creative director at Harvey Jones . "Creating interesting color stories for the kitchen using a play on the material instead of paint selection." 

"Pulling out the blues, greens, and pinks from within marbles, granites, and other worktop surfaces is a perfect way to balance out the warmth from the wood whilst it still gives a dynamic impact without needing to paint with color.” Choosing a neutral wall color would suffice to let the timber tones of cabinetry and butcher's block take center stage. 

3. Mixed metallics

From handles to splashback ideas and more, metallic finishings are going to be the most sought-after material of 2023. “We’re noticing a shift with consumers looking to incorporate mixed metals into their kitchen designs," explains Alex Main, director of The Main Company . 

"Metals in similar tones offer a cohesive style, such as copper and gold which pair perfectly due to their warm undertones, or cooler metals like nickel and chrome which sit well against lighter colors and modern kitchen designs. Using too much of the same metal can look one-dimensional, so ensure the finish you choose suits its placement in the kitchen.”

"Shiny chrome is proving to be less popular, with some designs favoring matte black to be somewhat more unassuming," says the interior designer at Optiplan Kitchens , Andy Briggs. "However, more muted choices of metal are taking off in popularity in kitchens in 2023. Materials such as pewter, copper, and brushed brass create a much more natural effect."

"Choosing a more toned-down option for your ‘kitchen jewelry’ can really switch up the aesthetic of your kitchen and give much more character than ever before.

"With consumers wanting to create a completely unique kitchen space, we anticipate that gold, copper, and brass are set to be favored in 2023, adding small, sophisticated touches that make a huge overall difference," remarks Jo Winston.

 "Consider brass cabinet handles, copper taps, and gold-toned accessories such as kettles and storage to incorporate these understated additions into your space effortlessly."

4. Natural material countertops

Considered materials are all important for organized kitchen countertops of the future. “Natural stone is a timeless choice for many homeowners, with Ceasarstone quartz and marble worktops remaining firm favorites in 2023," reveals Alex.

"Renowned for its quality finish and incredible versatility, natural stone works across both traditional and modern kitchens alike. From countertops to splashbacks, there is a huge array of options out there to suit any style of kitchen. ”

“Marble is still in high demand, we suspect this trend will stay for a while," says Melissa. "It feels so timeless and classic in its finished appearance. Stunningly beautiful and full of character and charm, you can make such an impactful statement applying marble in the right way, or even as a hidden moment within a pantry larder or breakfast dresser.”

5. Japandi kitchen designs

In alignment with the desire for natural materials, the trend for dedicated Japandi-style kitchens is set to go stratospheric in 2023. With Japandi living room, Japandi bedroom, and Japandi bathroom designs becoming increasingly popular over the last 12 months it's no surprise that this calming scheme has made its way to the hub of every home – the kitchen.

A fusion of understated Japanese aesthetics with the comfort of Scandinavian style, the Japandi kitchen trend is ideal for creating a serene and timeless feel in any kitchen.  

“Incorporating organic textures and earthy tones into the kitchen is a wonderful way of creating a cozy and calming environment in the home," says Mor Krisher, head of design at Caesarstone. "Bringing a touch of the outside in through raw materials and nature-inspired designs promises to instantly uplift a kitchen and connect us to our surroundings.

"Choosing a worktop that incorporates these earthy tones and textures will instantly create a cozy environment that links you with the natural world. A neutral surface will also give you flexibility when choosing accessories if you’re someone who likes to update your kitchen with the seasons.” 

An abundance of house plants is key to mastering the Japandi style, in any room. "Now is the perfect time to lean on your old friends, the house plants," says Camilla Clarke, creative director at Albion Nord . "Shake things up by re-locating them so rooms in your home gain a new lease of life. Plants increase levels of oxygen and nice smelling flowers, of which both can help boost your mood and productivity levels."

6. Modern cellars

Wine cellars no longer mean an underground cavernous space filled with dusty bottles of vintage wines, in fact, the modern-day cellar is anything but. Homeowners are seeking more inclusive ways to dedicate space to storing their fine wines for entertaining friends at home.

“The wine cellar has long been a point of conversation for discerning collectors – a showpiece of the home to be shared with friends and other connoisseurs alike,” says Fisher & Paykel’s  market product manager, Jo Jackson. “The best wine storage turns your collection into a beautiful design feature in its own right. Modern wine cabinets are thoughtfully engineered to ensure that your wine is perfectly cared for.”

Jo shares key considerations when installing a wine cabinet, saying: "Modern kitchens are also often designed as very light, open spaces with skylights or bi-fold doors and hard stone floors with under-floor heating. These kitchens are stunning and become the centerpiece of people’s homes but they do add a level of complexity when you’re looking to install a wine cabinet, as both the light and heat can affect the storage of wine."

 "UV light can create hydrogen sulfide compounds in wine, which affect the tannins and the color of wine, but if you source a good appliance with UV tempered glass and dimmed LED lighting you can protect against this. "

7. Lived-in homely touches

Kitchens are reclaiming the lived-in, homely look, no longer ashamed of not being show home worthy on a daily basis – because as the busiest and most functional space in the house, that level of perfection is hard to live up to at all times. That's not to say we no longer want beautifully organized kitchens, it just means there's room for a little more reality and comfort to be visible to make homes feel cozy and lived in.

“As we reflect on the past few years, comfort is now more than ever at the forefront of people’s minds," says Alex. "As a result, kitchens are evolving to include nostalgic detailing and homely touches. We’ve seen a rise in requests for bookcases displaying personal possessions and traditional large farmhouse sinks with quality sink skirts, which give kitchens so much personality and warmth.”

"Going into 2023 there has been a noticeable shift away from the sparkling show home style that we have seen in recent years," says Andy. "Coming out of a few years of staying at home more, homeowners are acknowledging the practicality and functionality of their kitchens and aren’t afraid to have them reflect that in their presentation."

"The kitchen functions as the heart of the home and it should be built accordingly. The kitchen should accommodate the whole family with enough comfortable and cozy seating to congregate and relax. Many homeowners are also considering pets and their needs, building in feeding and water stations for furry friends – ensuring the heart of the home is perfect for all members of the family."

“Incorporating additional pieces beyond the main furniture of the space is a fun way to add personality to a kitchen," suggests Melissa. "Antiques, family heirlooms, and unique vintage items are all becoming really popular to intermix with the standard cabinetry pieces."

8. Warming drawers

(Image credit: Future)

Another design element proving popular, due to the amount we entertain at home, is warming drawers.  "Eating and entertaining at home is a macro trend that strengthened throughout the pandemic," explains Jo Jackson, "but this is a 10-15-year old movement that is continuing and our increased time in the home has only sped it up as people were more comfortable in smaller groupings.

"Cost increases are also flowing through to restaurants, which will put some people off eating out as much as they used to and instead drive their investments to the home." For all these reasons, kitchen designers are seeing increases in design details that add to the ease of entertaining at home, such as warming drawers where food is kept to the optimum temperature while you busily prep and serve elsewhere.

A warming drawer can be used in a number of ways, from a dedicated space to help bread dough rise perfectly, keep dishes and mugs warm until serving, and some can even be used as a slow cooker or to preserve food to create a healthy winter snack.

9. Smart technology

The modern home is smarter than ever, as technology evolves to aid our everyday lives more and more. The kitchen is no exception to this, from smart lighting to the latest cooking gadgets, kitchen design in 2023 ensures technology is seamlessly integrated.

"Every aspect of our lives is being impacted and made easier in some way by new smart technologies and advances, and your kitchen shouldn’t be left behind," says Andy. "Simple additions such as LED lighting to accent display shelves can be helpful at creating an eye-catching feature or can have a more practical use of lighting up the dark corners of a cupboard when installed with a sensor on the cupboard door."

"The wine lovers of the house might focus their technology elsewhere, investing in temperature-controlled wine fridges, for example, to keep your evening tipple at optimum drinking temperature." How you choose to use it is a matter of personal preference, but incorporating tech can improve all kitchens great and small.

10. Pleasingly practical pantries ​

(Image credit: Future)

The trend for well-organized pantries is going nowhere for 2023; it's the kitchen feature that almost every household desires.

“Walk-in and hidden pantries are a big trend for us at the moment," explains Melissa. "We are cleaning down the cabinetry on the wall and opting for storage that is tucked away around the corner. Plus, that wow moment, when you open what looks like a cupboard door to expose a whole secret room behind just never, gets old. A crowd-pleaser for sure!”

11. Eco-credentials

As we all strive to make more sustainable living choices, it's unsurprising to see that reflected in how and where we invest in our homes. “Using sustainable materials in the home, especially cork, will continue to be popular as homeowners are thinking now, more than ever, about how to be environmentally responsible with their design," says James Scully, founder of natural flooring retailer Recork . 

"Focusing on the process of how things are made and swapping mass-produced ‘fast’ manufacturing means championing green materials is now at the forefront.”

 “A consideration to work with sustainably conscious brands is also becoming more prevalent," says Melissa.  "It means a lot to us that we do everything we can to care for our planet and we see this same value in our clients. Ensuring we craft kitchens that allow you to refurbish them over time instead of contributing to landfill is of great importance to our brand.”

 “Our favorite trend right now is the continued movement towards making more environmentally conscious choices," says Mor Krisher. "We’ve seen growing interest in our Lifetime Warranty and sustainability credentials, which is unsurprising when consumers continue to choose products that are made with quality and longevity in mind."

"Consumers want to know that the choices they are making will be a wise investment and are therefore choosing products that are manufactured with durability and quality in mind so they can have peace of mind that their countertops will look beautiful for years to come.” 

12. Comforting textures

Textures are key in design right now, tantalizingly tactile surfaces and materials are dominating our homes as we crave a sense of comfort. And yet our kitchens are often composed of straight lines and flat colors. All that is set to change for 2023 in kitchen design as we look to satisfy our subconscious desires to explore through touch.

"The right use of texture can create the most spectacular kitchens and living spaces. And with the latest innovations in marble and wood effects, textured surfaces can be achieved at a far more affordable cost," says Wayne Dance, at InHouse Inspired Room Design . "Layering textures and tones creates dynamic spaces. Marry together the right combinations and you'll find yourself enjoying a huge dose of satisfaction every day."

13. Statement lighting

The kitchen is no longer seen as a setting for mere spotlights and task lighting, increasingly we're seeing statement chandeliers and pendants adding stylish finishing touches to a kitchen in the same way as they would in a living room or dining room. 

"Customers are increasingly beginning to consider lighting as a part of their overall kitchen design," says Dawn Filkins, head of creative at Smile Kitchens .

"We’ve seen many requests for statement pieces such as chandeliers or pendant lighting fixtures, offering a brilliant way to bring the homeowner’s personality and style into a space in a unique way. With the rise in broken plan living, lighting also offers an effective way to break up different zones of the home as the lighting changes between areas."

Adding statement lighting is also a great way to make a home feel more expensive on a budget, especially in a kitchen where the presence of a chandelier might be unexpected and therefore more striking. 

Key kitchen color trends for 2023

In addition to the latest layouts, must-have integrated appliances, and countertop materials there are also influential paint color ideas for kitchens that designers are predicting to be the most popular for the year ahead and beyond.

Timeless white

You could easily be forgiven for thinking white was no longer an on-trend color choice, because of the fondness for darker shades of blues, grey, and even black taking the spotlight. But like the best white paint colors, white kitchens will always be a wise choice. 

“Timeless white kitchens will be big in 2023," predicts Tom. "We have seen such a shift in how we want our homes to look, feel, and function over the past three years. This is inevitable because of just how much time we’ve spent in them, having transitioned from the bustle of commuting to an office into a work-from-home lifestyle. We need our homes to feel that much roomier, lighter, and brighter. "

"White kitchens do this perfectly, offering an energizing, transformative aesthetic to any space and mastering the art of illusion, making smaller rooms feel bigger.”

Grounding earthy tones

As we've seen from the latest interior paint color trends 2023 the color palette for next year is a heady mix of earth-derived tones that welcome a sense of calm. 

"In 2023, we are going to see an influx of calming tones and colors rooted in the natural world," explains Andy. "People’s lives are so stressful and busy, that coming home and into your kitchen should evoke a sense of calm and belonging.

"Using sandy, earthy tones, complemented by similar deeper natural tones such as terracotta and deep greens (creating the vision of a roaming countryside), you can create a kitchen that is homely and serene for you to enjoy and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Natural and eco-friendly materials are increasing in popularity, with wood being a big focus of kitchens going forward."

Milan Design Week featured a lot of kitchens that showcased mixing materials such as glass, stone, and woods of different tones, creating an earthy and back-to-nature design to help promote calm in your home. We can envision Dulux Colour of the Year 2023 working beautifully on the walls when paired with a darker kitchen cabinet paint color to celebrate this trend. 

Dusky pink

Unlike the Barbiecore fashion trend, next year's kitchen hue is a sophisticated pink paint color that exudes warmth and character.  

"Our brave new paint color Pink Dusk is an elegant, more playful alternative to grey it creates incredible warmth and an alluring appeal to any kitchen," reveals Tom. "Pink may divide opinion; however, over the past few years, this versatile shade has boomed in popularity."

"Pink Dusk is not like your usual bubblegum pink, It’s incredibly soft, charming, and moody. You can use this color across a full kitchen design or pair it back with complementary tones opting for a pink island.” 

Shades of green

Soothing shades of green are still a firm favorite for kitchen color choices for 2023, supported by the "Throughout 2022, we have seen the reintroduction of greens to our kitchens," says Dawn. "With many looking to replicate the sage green tones that have become popular across homes over recent years, our Eden, an earthy sage green, has seen a huge boost. We’ve also found many looking for deep, dark greens."

"Some combine these greens with each other to have a monochromatic kitchen that is a real standout," Dawn explains. "With wall cabinets in a lighter green, creating a feeling of a larger space than with darker cabinetry alone."

We can envision Dulux Colour of the Year 2023 working beautifully as the kitchen cabinet paint color paired with a darker green on the walls to celebrate this trend. 

Coastal sky blue

Coastal charm is fast becoming a dominating trend for interiors in 2023, perhaps it's the feeling of escapism – with endless blue skies and seascapes conjuring up the image of sunnier destinations. 

"Inspired by homes in the Hamptons, we’ve seen a huge surge in customers looking for light blue kitchens," Dawn reveals. "New England style is a balance of light blues with whites and off-whites to create a coastal feeling in the home that feels light and airy."

"We’ve particularly seen an uplift in customers looking for kitchens in our Sky, a light sky blue tone, and Spring, a deeper light blue that has undertones of green," says Dawn, "perfect for a statement island, excellently pairing with white. Frequently this look is accompanied by wicker, bamboo, and warm wooden furniture to give touches of warmth to a space."

Modern kitchen design is an elegant combination of simplicity and practicality. Gilding, excesses and flashy colors have given way to muted shades, noble matte texture and minimalist solutions. We tell you how to easily choose a trendy kitchen among a variety of styles and materials.

Fashion styles

The modern design of the kitchen combines external conciseness and thoughtful ergonomics. Graceful simplicity, straight thin lines, laconic accents have returned to fashion. Furniture compositions in which these elements are present are elegant and comfortable, and it will not be difficult to choose the right kitchen. In 2023, the following styles are at the peak of trends: modern, neoclassical, Scandinavian and minimalism. nine0007

Modern style

Modern style kitchen - a combination of discreet design and practicality of use. Modern style does not recognize a clear style framework, it combines the features of a variety of trends: minimalism, scandi, loft, hi-tech, neoclassicism. This is a unique new interior trend that allows you to design dissimilar, very functional interiors. From each of its predecessors, modern style in 2023 has taken the best to help create a cozy, beautiful interior for comfort and relaxation. nine0007

A distinctive feature of the modern style is that it is ideal for creating a harmonious interior in tiny studios, as well as in spacious kitchen-living rooms and open-plan apartments. By designing a kitchen in a modern style, it is easy to create compact sets for small spaces. And if the area of ​​​​the room is large, the interior can be expanded and supplemented with a bar counter or an island, a dining area, a work area and a sofa for relaxation.

Scandinavian

Scandinavian style is one of the top kitchen trends for 2023. Scandi is based on a combination of white surfaces with light wooden elements. Headsets in this northern style look airy, elegant, they are very comfortable and functional.

An absolute taboo for the Scandinavian style is expensive luxurious jewelry, bright colors and gilding. Scandi is grace and seeming carelessness. In the interior of the kitchen, such “non-ideality” is very practical: even a small mess created during cooking does not spoil the atmosphere. nine0007

The concept of "northern design" combines restraint, loyalty to traditions and a reverent attitude towards nature. Textured surfaces, muted fabrics, natural light - all this makes the interior warm and lively. The surrounding space is easy to change, periodically rearranging the furniture, experimenting with textiles and adding interesting accents, such as an unusual lamp, an author's vase, a wall panel or a cozy blanket.

Minimalist

Fashionable kitchens in 2023 look very concise and stylish. Their sign is the purity of the lines and the absence of unnecessary details. Even the handles are integrated and become an organic part of the straight, smooth facades. By saving space on the decor, the maximum amount of free space for living is achieved. nine0007

The change of fashionable vector to minimalism is dictated by life itself. The most valuable thing for us is time, and it takes a lot of it to clean carved cornices and decorative elements. The simplicity of the facade is the ease of cleaning and many more free hours for your favorite activities.

One of the important features of the layout of a fashionable minimalist kitchen is the right lighting, which visually expands the space even more. Different areas of the kitchen are equipped with separate lighting fixtures: spotlights above the dining group, LED lights in the work area, decorative and functional lighting in the storage area. Dispersed lighting is a trend in 2023. It is important that diffused soft lighting turns the kitchen into a cozy chamber space in the evenings. nine0007

Neoclassical

Keeping up with the 2023 fashion for practical use, neoclassicism combines straight facades and the characteristic relief of a classic style with modern and functional solutions: thoughtful storage systems, high-tech appliances, and bright elements. This mix helps the kitchen look fresh and stylish.

Neoclassicism is characterized by:

Accents of novelty in neoclassicism are usually functional: glass hobs, modern chrome faucets, latest generation appliances.

Trend colors

Fashionable kitchen color 2023 is muted and very natural. Catchy shades have gone out of fashion, giving way to pastel colors in the interior. Designer trends are headed by gray, white, beige kitchens with light unobtrusive accents. The calm shades of the facades are continued in the upholstery of chairs in the dining area, upholstery of the sofa in the living room area, wall panels and aprons. nine0007

Pastels

Fashionable furniture for the kitchen this year can be multi-colored: green, blue, pink. It is only important to choose not bright clean, but muted pastel shades of colors. Delicate pastel visually expands the space. Even more light and space will give such a kitchen white or very light walls. And if you want to make the kitchen chamber, you can choose a contrasting tone for the walls, for example, velvety gray.

Pastel shades can be used in a variety of style interior solutions. For example: nine0007

Pastel-colored furniture looks good under both natural and artificial lighting. Its appearance and texture are emphasized by diffused white light and additional LED illumination of individual zones. nine0007

Natural shades

The key trends in the 2023 palette are the calm colors of nature: brown, green, terracotta, blue, wine. The color of the kitchen evokes thoughts of sea waves, sky blue, natural shades of foliage, bark, baked clay, sand. The motto of modernity is no flashy brightness, everything is natural and calmingly muffled in fashion.

Woody shades

Another trend for 2023 is woody colors and wood imitation in kitchen furniture. Such elements are especially relevant for Scandinavian-style kitchens, where they are considered a standard addition to the interior. No less stylish details of the wood-colored facade look in strict minimalism, and solutions in which wood-like shades are dominant are interesting. nine0007

Wood and its imitation in the interior of the kitchen supports the general trend towards natural materials in design. Therefore, adding an oak or walnut countertop will not be superfluous when designing a trendy modern kitchen. Eco-friendly decor, such as live houseplants, will help to beat it even more.

With special care, you should approach the issue of designing a kitchen if you plan to combine two different wood textures in one interior. It's as difficult as making friends between a zebra and a leopard. Even for designers, the task can be daunting. But the combination of wood with white or black details, with plain matte surfaces, imitation of stone, concrete or oxidized metal is guaranteed to be flawless. nine0007

Gray tones

Gray is one of the most winning options for stylish kitchen design in 2023. Smoky colors go well with almost any of the trendy styles: in gray tones, restrained minimalism, strict neoclassicism, and functional modern style look noble.

Much depends on the intensity of the shade. Even the same kitchen design project can look different in dark gray and very light gray versions. A light gray kitchen feels comfortable to most people, regardless of taste, and the color itself pairs well with just about any trendy color this year. Darker options give the kitchen an atmosphere of rigor and solidity, but are more suitable for spacious rooms. nine0007

Beige

One of the trending design colors for 2023 is neutral beige. This base color is easy to match with pastel shades of other colors and with any style of furniture. Beige is a very versatile color, it varies from delicate powdery tones to rich caramel shades close to brown. And without even going beyond one beige color, you can create many different non-boring options for trendy kitchens in 2023.

The advantage of a beige kitchen is the warm, cozy, psychologically comfortable atmosphere created by this color. In any light, the beige room evokes a sense of peace and is well suited for cooking and for pleasant family gatherings at dinner. nine0007

White and black

Black and white facades are a timeless solution. Such furniture looks very impressive. By changing the proportions of black and white, you can get completely different cuisines. The combination in equal proportions allows you to develop an original kitchen and create a visual zoning of space. If there are more white elements, the room becomes more spacious and bright, and if dark facades predominate, it becomes more strict and solid.

White headsets look great in Scandinavian style, Provence style and classic, modern style. And so that the excess of white does not create the feeling of a hospital, you can complement the snow-white cabinets with a contrasting countertop and bright accents. nine0007

The black kitchen looks luxurious, respectable and unusual. Almost any style can be realized in this color: modern, loft, hi-tech, classic and neoclassical. Total black is not combined only with the Scandi style. This solution is not suitable for small spaces. And regardless of the area of ​​​​the kitchen, in such an environment you should not save on lighting so that the kitchen does not feel like a cave.

A laconic black and white set will look very stylish and modern. In order to make such an interior more expressive, a couple of bright accent details will be enough - for example, thoughtful landscaping. nine0007

Fashion materials and textures

Modern materials from which practical and durable facades, cabinets and countertops are made allow everyone to choose a beautiful and stylish option that meets the wishes, habits and ideas of beauty of its future owner. Here are some design trends to watch out for.

Matt surfaces

A novelty of the interior in 2023 is the matte surfaces of the facades, which give the interior nobility and status. Therefore, acrylic and MDF, pasted over with plastic, temporarily fade into the background. Matte facades are easier to clean, they do not leave fingerprints and stains. They retain their appearance for a long time and are perfectly combined with other materials. nine0007

The absence of glare in the kitchen is achieved by painting the facades with matte paint and using frosted glass for the manufacture of facades and stained-glass windows. This solution is appropriate in any style of kitchen, turning the set into an excellent backdrop for catchy accents.

Material simulations

Among the fashionable textures for facades in 2023 are imitations of a wide variety of natural and man-made materials:

The surface can be made of almost any modern materials - compact board, chipboard, veneered MDF, plastic. Textures and colors that imitate fabric are new for the 2022-2023 season, such facades are well complemented by matte ones, especially in loft-style solutions and in a modern kitchen. nine0007

Details and decor

As one of the accents in a laconic design, you can use one of the walls painted in a contrasting general range. Often, built-in furniture in a darker color or a contrasting finish of the area above the work surface is used to create contrast.

Fashion apron

When deciding which backsplash to make in a fashionable kitchen in 2023, you should pay attention to the tiles. It can be plain, textured, with geometric patterns. Wall panels can emphasize the overall range of the headset or, on the contrary, stand out against the general neutral background with a bright accent. nine0007

A fashionable feature of kitchen design in 2023 is a countertop and an apron, made in a single solution and one material. Important: to design such a structure, the walls must be perfectly even. The most organic unity of countertops and wall cladding looks in artificial stone, quartz agglomerate and waterproof compact board. An apron made of the same material as the countertop harmoniously complements the overall design and gives the kitchen an expensive, solid appearance.

An unusual and bold choice is to install a narrow, 30-40 cm, apron over the cooking area. This is not only stylish, but also an economical solution, however, it requires more frequent cleaning of surfaces during operation. nine0007

Convertible kitchen

Furniture that changes its profile depending on the situation and tasks is a key international design trend in 2023. This is a progressive solution, available in styles such as modern, loft or minimalism. Such a transforming kitchen, which helps to clearly zone the space, is ideal for a kitchen-living room or a small studio.

Bar counter and island

The bar counter for the kitchen in 2023 is a modern and practical detail. The rack can be freestanding or integrated into the island. In this case, it becomes an additional place for a quick breakfast, dinner serving or a work surface for cutting and slicing food. nine0007

The island can combine several functions at once: serve as a dining area, work surface, storage area. When planning a kitchen, even at the renovation stage, you can think in advance about the possibility of transferring the sink and hob to the island, equip it with a suspended hood and turn it into the logical center of the entire room. Such a solution can be seen both in minimalist kitchens and in classic sets.

Dining group

The zoning of the kitchen, combined with the living room or dining room, is always very clear. In spacious rooms, this allows you to organize a dining area - a separate table and chairs. nine0007

Depending on the chosen style, the size of the room, the habits of its inhabitants, the table can be round or rectangular. Ideally, if the surface of the table has something in common with details in other areas, for example, it is made of the same material as the wall splashback or countertop, or be the same color as the fronts of kitchen cabinets.

Mezzanine storage

Very high, ceiling-mounted facades designed for storage are a trend that does not give up its positions in 2023. The kitchen ceases to be only a household room with a clearly defined function of cooking. This is a place for living, in which there should be a place for storing things, for collections, for stocks for the winter, for working materials. Mezzanine cabinets in the upper tier of the kitchen set help to competently use every centimeter of space, this is not only a fashionable, but also a very practical solution for small apartments. nine0007

Decorative accents

Stylish kitchen 2023 is not only beauty, but also maximum practicality and functionality. Today, the kitchen is a space that brings the whole family together, where they spend a lot of time. And this means that all family members, young and old, should be comfortable and pleasant in this space.

Wall decoration. Monochromatic walls are in trend, they can be painted with matte paint or wallpapered in neutral tones. Any set will look perfect in a room with white or very light walls. But this choice will not always be ideal, for example, for a family with small children: easily soiled light walls can be more of a minus than a plus. Another trendy option is imitation brickwork. Natural red is perfect for a loft and minimalist kitchen, while painted white is a great backdrop for a Scandinavian style kitchen. nine0007

open storage. Open shelves or showcases with transparent glass inserts and lighting are a bright decorative accent that creates a mood of well-being and comfort in the kitchen. Such elements can be placed not only on the front of the headset, but also, for example, at the end of the cabinet. So the surfaces in the kitchen are used to the maximum benefit.

Corner sofa in the kitchen. In modern free-planning apartments, more and more often the kitchen is combined with the living room, and in the studio - also with the working area and the bedroom. In such combined spaces, the corner sofa becomes a very important detail, helping to separate the food preparation area from the seating area. To this end, the corner sofa is placed not in the corner of the room, but in the center of the room. nine0007

Houseplants. In the hot atmosphere of the kitchen, fresh flowers in a vase feel uncomfortable. Therefore, indoor plants can become the only color accent in spaces that are neutral in decoration. Preference is given to unpretentious, easy to care for and unusual. A fashionable and practical solution for ecology lovers is the organization of a smart home hydroponics mini-garden. Spicy herbs, mint, as well as some varieties of vegetables are great for growing in them. Of the indoor plants, chlorophytum and coleus with colorful leaves, as well as medicinal aloe and succulents, feel good in the kitchen. nine0007

Window decoration. If the kitchen and walls are plain, you can add fashionable novelties to the interior with the help of curtains with a geometric pattern. In scandi-style interiors, white matte tulle is appropriate, which does not block natural light. For a minimalist design, roller blinds or Roman blinds in light shades are suitable. But cascading lambrequins, ruffles and voluminous folds are a thing of the past along with country-style interiors.

In 2023, designers recommend paying attention to calm interiors with strict lines and low-key muted colors. The trends included modern and Scandinavian styles. Minimalism and eye-catching solo accents are valued in the decor. It can be quite difficult to develop an actual design of kitchen furniture, taking into account the peculiarities of manufacturing, materials and fittings, so it is better to seek advice from professionals. Experts will help not only to choose fashionable solutions, but also help with their implementation in practice. nine0007
