Kitchen Advice
When we look at kitchen trends, we tend to focus on the styles that seem set to be popular for the next 12 to 18 months. But is it also possible to predict which styles will be popular in 5 or even 10 years time?
It’s no secret that the way kitchens look and feel has evolved significantly over the decades, so it’s likely that we’ll continue to see these important spaces develop even further. So, from colours and patterns to materials and layouts, we’ve asked carpenters what they think the kitchens of the future might look like.
What Carpenters Predict for the Future of Kitchen Design
Kitchens will feel cosier
Living kitchens have been hugely popular for many years now, reflecting a desire for a multi-functional space in which to cook, dine, and socialise. This isn’t set to change over the next decade; in fact, we’re likely to see the lines between living spaces and kitchen spaces become much more blurred.
Seating areas are going to become far more commonplace, but they’ll be incorporated into the space in a very casual, laid back and inviting fashion. So, look out for built-in banquettes and sofa-style seating solutions soaring in popularity.
Pro Tip: Bespoke solutions will ensure that your living kitchen feels balanced, so working with a skilled carpenter will help you to achieve the best outcomes if this is something you want to achieve in your own home.
Galley sinks will make a comeback
There is a surprising degree of variety when it comes to kitchen sink styles, all of which have the potential to bring a unique look and feel to your home. While farmhouse style sinks have been extremely popular recently, galley or work station sinks are likely to be amongst the most popular styles in 10 years time.
Galley sinks help to maximise the space, as they also offer extra, highly functional work space through the ability to integrate chopping boards, colanders, mixing bowls and drying racks. So, you could wash, prepare and even serve food from this multi-functional choice.
1930s style will have its moment in the spotlight
Styles always end up coming back around, and in 10 years, the 1930s will have its opportunity to take a starring role in homes once again. There are many features of a 1930s kitchen that can enhance modern kitchen spaces, including cleverly concealing appliances for a streamlined aesthetic and creating a dedicated pantry for food storage.
Pro Tip: Stylish kitchen cupboard doors can be used to create a clutter-free and streamlined kitchen, regardless of whether you enjoy contemporary or more traditional design. To achieve a high quality finish, work with a trusted carpenter during the installation process.
Detailed kitchen cupboard doors will become a feature
Something we’re already starting to see is the desire for our homes to reflect who we are, and this is something we’re going to see much more of in the future. As kitchen cabinet doors are such a prominent feature, choosing a style that reflects your sense of personal style is a great way to ensure your home feels unique and special to you.
Detailed kitchen cabinet doors can bring depth and interest to your space without completely taking over. Panelled doors are a great option, as they tread the fine line between traditional and contemporary.
Pro Tip: As many of our kitchen doors have beautiful panelled detailing, including our Bella Aldridge and Bella Stratford styles, you can get ahead with this carpenter suggested trend.
Unique colour schemes
Another great way to personalise your kitchen is by choosing a colour palette that reflects your sense of style. As well as seeing more colourful palettes in general, we also expect to see colour being used more creatively to create spaces that feel genuinely unique.
