Posted on: 25 January 2018
They say that kitchens are the heart of the home, and many Australians take great pride in this central room. It is a great place for casual dinner parties, helping the children with their homework or just relaxing on a summer's evening. Whether you have not changed your kitchen in a while and it is just too old fashioned for a modern lifestyle, your family is growing and you need more space, or you have moved into a new home and hate the previous kitchen design, it can be an exceptionally exciting process to update your kitchen. Before you contract builders, plumbers, electricians or even architects to get started, you are going to want to think about what you want your new kitchen to look like.
Finding the right option for you is vitally important, as what works for one family home may not work for a smaller or larger home in a different part of the country. However, for those who like to maintain a sense of style and being on trend, thinking about the latest trends and designs can help you shape your thoughts on what could work for you. Taking inspiration from trends and applying them to a classic setting can help maintain a freshness which can be easily adapted as the years go by. So if you are looking to find out what the latest trends in kitchen design are, read on for three hot trends you can adapt for you new kitchen.
Bright, bold colour
Moving on from the cool grey of earlier in the 2000s, colour in kitchens is now back with a bang. Be brave and buy bold accessories for your kitchen, buy a funky oven or paint a feature wall. The great part about colour is that it can be easily changed if you grow bored of it next year, and using coloured accessories as highlights mean they can be easily and cost effectively changed.
Wood rules
Whether you build in shelves, skirting boards or worktops, bringing wood into your new kitchen will keep you right on trend. Additionally, wood can be a great sustainable option for the environmentally conscious. If you want to bring a sense of adventure, why not source the materials from a romantic or distant location?
Kitchen islands
Putting a counter island into your kitchen can really bring a touch of warmth and coziness to your room, and an island can be the perfect way to gather the family around for casual dining. Not only do they look great, they also bring a helpful extra counter space for food preparation or a make shift bar if you are having a party.
