what's new?

Whether you're planning on renovating, remodelling, or simply reconfiguring your existing kitchen space, these are the need-to-know kitchen trends 2023 to inspire your design journey. 

In 2023 many are reconnecting with the great outdoors and designing using hygge principles to create ultimate comfort. The Scandi Trend uses botanical shades, warm neutrals and timber accents for a space centred on positive wellbeing. 

 Harvey Jones welcomes natural timber tones, "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 colour.”   

Natural material countertops - Ceasarstone quartz and marble worktops remain firm favourites in 2023.

Farmhouse style is now well on it's way into urban kitchens and remains popular in 2023, with details like cut-out holes in pretty shapes (great for ventilation as well as good looks) and pantry-style cabinetry and kitchen storage.

A kitchen that will outlast changing fashions.

 We demand a lot from our kitchens. They are the most functional space within our homes – providing a place to cook, eat, work, rest, and entertain.  There's no denying that Covid19 helped to reshape kitchen design trends such as to incorporate more seating and ensure the space is completely inclusive, whether cooking, entertaining or just relaxing with the family. 

Is the Golden Triangle outdated in your home? Maybe there's a demand for space for more than one chef... A streamlined cooking process that incorporates the dishwasher too. An air fryer station!?

Choose from; double kitchen islands for multifaceted lives, Dual surface countertops, Two Tier Design, Waterfall Edges and more.

 Interior designer at Optiplan Kitchens, Andy Briggs. "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. 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." 

Favoured at various points throughout history – from Greek columns and pilasters to reeded glass in Art Deco, and then mid-century furniture – the latest fluted revival is firmly kitchen bound. On cabinetry, fluted patterns can be used to provide 3D interest – just enough to bounce the light and add character while staying within the simplicity of modern design – offering privacy and depth.
