Trendy and timeless: Designers share this year’s kitchen trends

April 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Five respected designers have shared their thoughts on the ideas and inspirations currently shaping kitchen design across Australia this year. Whilst there may not beย many surprises, it is reassuring to know your investment is on track to create a timeless designย that future home buyers will love as much as you do.ย 

Adele Bates – Adele Bates Studio

What do you see in kitchen design this year? 

“Weโ€™re seeing a tailored design approach to kitchens, more specifically focused on the clientโ€™sย personal needs and how they utilise the space,” says Adele. “Interest in tactile materiality, movement andย texture is definitely a visual trend that is still prevalent.”

What makes a timeless kitchen design? 

“A timeless kitchen design for us is one that creates a perfect balance between function and aesthetics, as neither would work without the other,” Adele explains. “Establishing the function through good planning and detailed design, paired with unique design elements and finishes that will stand the test of time, will create a kitchen that is built for longevity.”

John Hall – Nobby Kitchens

What do you see in kitchen design this year? 

“White kitchens are always popular, but now weโ€™re seeing splashes of timber and dark colours,” John notes.ย “Neutral colours and earthy tones of greens, winter sky and dark moods are making an appearance.

“Iโ€™m excited about the colour and finishes that appliances are adding to the kitchen. Gunmetal, roseย gold and copper are recent inclusions for sinks and taps, making such a visual statement.”

Sheree Bounassif – Kitchens by Emanuel

What do you see in kitchen design this year? 

โ€œItโ€™s all about the decorative panelling at the moment,” observes Sheree. “Fluted, rounded or square, these patternsย bring style and elegance to modern kitchens. Iโ€™m excited about curves and textured matte finishes;ย these modern details bring interest to kitchen spaces.”

What makes a timeless kitchen design? 

“A timeless kitchen design is an amalgamation of colour palette, detail and layout, says Sheree. “When it comes toย colour palette, keep it neutral. Palette trends come and go so frequently, but a neutral colourย palette is timeless. It is also good for resale purposes.

“Your kitchen layout needs to make sense, and above all, be practical. Keep the working triangle front of mind and design to suit your space.

“The details make your kitchen unique, but should tieย into the theme of your home. For example, a Hamptons style home generally calls for a Hamptons style kitchen, so I would design with profile polyurethane doors, whites, navy blues, a simple rangehood mantle, handles and marble-inspired bench tops.”

Georgia Ezra – Studio Ezra and Tiles of Ezra

What do you see in kitchen design this year? 

โ€œWhat Iโ€™m seeing is designers and homeowners wanting to take more risk and create a bespokeย and individual space that is unique to them,โ€ย says Georgia.

She also appreciates the turn towards earth tones. “I currently love Caesarstone Topus Concrete because itโ€™s a soft, warm tone thatโ€™s reminiscent of the earth. It goes beautifully with so many other finishes that surround it.”

What makes a timeless kitchen design? 

Georgia emphasises individuality. โ€œFor me, itโ€™s an exclusive, unique design thatโ€™s true to the end user and the end user only.”

Kat Moore – Boutique Homes Victoria

What do you see in kitchen design this year? 

“Soft curves and arches dominate the world of interiors with a shift towards inviting,ย homely environments without harsh edges and corners.”

Design by Boutique Homes, featuring Caesarstone Piatra Grey

“Weโ€™re getting more adventurous with our finishes and colours,” she continues “Homeowners want individualityย and something a little more interesting. We have seen a surge in client requests for the sleek andย moody aesthetic.

“Black appliances, tapware and hardware, are rising in popularity. Itโ€™s not unusual for clients to pairย black cabinetry with a black stone benchtop and splashback.”

What makes a timeless kitchen design? 

“Designers are becoming savvier about how we bring curves into our homes and spaces,” Kat says. “Itโ€™s more timeless than a lot of other short-lived trends. Plus, itโ€™s a more social configuration for entertaining guests in your home.”

“Pairing blackย with white-veined stone is a timeless look that commands attention and presence,” she suggests. “Black is a versatile colour that goes with everything. Black is always on trend!”

A glass shower screen is not the only option! In A glass shower screen is not the only option!

In this 80s villa reno, @trentinidesign took inspiration from an archway typical of the era and used it throughout the home.

The bathroom was transformed from a classic three-piece set up that included a shower, bath and vanity. Kathryn removed the bath and split the room in half and designed an arch to sit between the two zones. 

โ€œI wanted something spectacular. Rather than having a vanity with a piece of glass like you would typically see, I was really trying to push myself as a designer. It was costly but it worked out well and the feedback has been great."

Swipe for the before and follow the link in bio to see the rest of this home.

One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavet One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavetimeforthis, turns out former Neighbours actor @gemma_peanut is even more multi-talented than we thought! Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"Iโ€™m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego โ€“ it allowed me to do things that I wouldnโ€™t normally do.โ€

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!
