Australian kitchen trends: Autumn 2020 edition

By Amy Collins-Walker • 1 Comment

From open shelving (perfect for styling up a shelfie), to a stunning coral hued stone and Gaggenau’s new high-tech oven, Autumn kitchen pickings are looking pretty inspiring indeed.

Fibonacci Stone latest: Fibonacci Stone has released four gorgeous new designs. ‘Bloc’ has a grainy grey and black-fleck base (anchored by light to mid-grey Carrera marble chips), while ‘Brackish’ has a subdued palette of white and faded grey. ‘Striker’ is perfect for a contemporary Australian project with its palette of bisque, olive, tan, sand and beige and my personal favourite ‘Coral Underground’ has diamond-like silver grey shards set into the palest coral base. It’s feminine without being girly.

Kaboodle Kitchen open steel frame shelving units: A stylish and on-trend alternative to standard kitchen cabinetry, this new shelving range doubles as a practical storage feature that’s perfect for displaying your favourite things. Designed to be used in conjunction with Kaboodle cabinetry, or as a standalone piece, the shelves are available in powder coated black.

Fisher & Paykel touchscreen built-in oven: These new ovens are equipped with a high resolution digital interface that gives step-by-step instructions for a wide range of pre-loaded recipes. Precise measures and ideal cooking times and temperatures are provided, and the ovens are available in stainless steel and black, or monochromatic all-black.

Caesarstone ‘New Darks’ range: This new range of quartz surfaces was created in response to the black kitchen trend. Suitable for bench tops, splash backs and walls, the collection also introduces a brand new ‘natural’ surface finish – the slightly textured finish emulates the tactile experience of stone, and has a satin sheen and slight grain.

Highlights include ‘Empira Black’ which is a lustrous polished finish with a dense black base and overlay of fine white natural veins. ‘Black Tempal’ combines the new rough ‘natural’ finish with a deep charcoal base which is in direct contrast to the subtle, marbled veil of soft mineral deposits across its surface.

Caesarstone & Wattyl Perfect Pairings II: The collaboration between Caesarstone quartz surfaces and Wattyl paints has been expanded after the initial launch was warmly received by consumers keen to take the guesswork out of what can be a daunting process. Homeowners can access a diverse selection of Caesarstone and Wattyl pairings alongside metallic tapware finishes from Sussex and door cabinetry from Polytec. The latest pairings include terracotta and mustard paint hues (for the more adventurous), as well as more neutral options too.

Gaggenau combi steam oven: Gaggenau’s combi-steam oven not only allows the amateur chef to steam, braise, bake, cook, grill and gratinate, but it’s self-cleaning too.

The latest version of the oven features a fixed water connection. Using a cleaning cartridge, the oven’s water supply descales and removes any heavy soiling from the inside, leaving it pristine in less than four hours. The fresh water connection also means water is constantly available which is a vital feature when cooking using the oven’s sous-vide functionality. The high-tech oven features a temperature probe too. What more could you want?

Cosentino Dekton Liquid collection: Comprised of three new colour ways inspired by nature, this new surface range was designed in collaboration with London pattern experts and designers PATTERNITY. All three surfaces have rippling and marbled patterns across backgrounds of inky black and pearlescent white.

When her styling business took a hit, @vaultinteri When her styling business took a hit, @vaultinteriors decided to reduce her outgoings by moving to a tiny house. And we're not sure we've ever seen a more stylish one!

Although the move to a container home was motivated by financial pressures, Justine Wilson is loving her new simpler way of life.

Read her refreshingly honest, positive interview on the blog now, via link in bio.

It'll make you want to downsize too!

Appliance colour trends: They've certainly change Appliance colour trends:

They've certainly changed over the years. Remember when ALL fridges were white?! I remember the original BROWN wall oven in our 60s kitchen here pre-reno! I think the dishwasher was brown and beige (and it tripped the electrics every time we used it!) 😜

What do you think of this new dark stainless steel option (pictured) from Westinghouse as seen in @dnaofdesign_'s latest reno? Yay or nay? 

What colour do you like your appliances?

See the rest of this home and kitchen and laundry design tips from the ex Blockheads on the blog now via link in bio.

A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in th A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in this bathroom is one of the cleverest designs we've seen in a while!

This mega ledge, made of Corian, even incorporates a sink, seamlessly.

Combined with venetian plaster on the walls, it's no wonder this Illawarra bathroom by @birdblackdesign feels like a day spa!

Come check it out via link bio.

Lead designer Stuart Gibson says: "One smooth curve, right around the room, from either side of the door opening. As it moves around, it creates a ledge for the bath: for bath oils, lotions, a book and a champagne glass. The ledge continues around and becomes the vanity, widening out to create a custom seamless basin."

A whole host of brands are offering eco-friendly, low tox alternatives to the more chemical-laden ones. Not only that, they often smell amazing, look good on your shelf and come in recycled or recyclable (or even better, both) packaging. 

Good for your skin, your clothes and the planet: what’s not to like?

Play room goals!👌🏻 This is just one room fr Play room goals!👌🏻

This is just one room from today's real house tour which I really love because in employing interior designer @issyandhcreative the owners weren't looking for a complete rip out and re-do but rather to work with what they had in their new suburban home (including a dated kitchen) and give it a largely cosmetic glow up with styling and new furniture (some of which was upcycled). 

The brief was to create a family friendly home. "They weren't looking for perfection but rather a warm and relaxing retreat for their busy young family." This playroom though? Pretty close to perfect! And the mum did the colour coded books herself. Love that😁

Head over to the blog now via link in bio to see the rest of this home.
