The kitchen is the hub and heart of your home, so if you’re looking to give it a refresh for the new year, checking out the latest kitchen trends is a great place to start.

Smart Storage Solutions

The right kitchen storage configuration will create more space and more possibilities for your dream kitchen.

In a time when we strive to declutter for our overall wellbeing, storage is of the utmost importance in current kitchen trends. Especially in kitchens where we need so many ‘things’, from the ingredients to the cooking equipment.

Kitchen Worktop Ideas

Many of us enjoy cooking and want to ensure a worksurface is hardwearing, stain resistant, heatproof and highly hygienic.

Beautiful worktops come in all different forms! A trend that continues is light doors and dark worktop or vice versa.

We understand that everyone’s needs are different, and a limitless selection of worktop option trends will continue, ranging from quartz and solid wood to laminate and hygienic options like Corian and tristone.

Matching Living Spaces

The open concept design of adjacent kitchen, dining and living areas is spot on trend.

Flexible solutions enable holistic design. The décor and material combination in your kitchen can be carried over to all your rooms to create a trend-oriented coordinated interior.

A nice example above of how to use the same materials to provide a matching kitchen, living space and bathroom. The choice of slate grey looks contemporary, modern, and individual… and definitely on trend into 2023.

Cooktop Extractors

One of our top kitchen trends is the shift towards downdraft extraction systems.

The BORA cooktop extractor system completely removes the need for large cooker hoods and bulky extractor fans.

Instead of letting cooking vapours and odours rise in the first place, BORA cooktop extractors draw them away where they are created, directly extracting them from the pot, roaster, pan or grill on the cooktop.

Makes you feel like you are cooking in the fresh air.

One of the advantages of our BORA partnership is when the rep visits our Showroom to show us our new Cooking Top Extractors in operation, we end up with a nice breakfast! 😍

Instant Boiling Filtered Water on Demand

For years now we have supplied only Hotspot Titanium to our deserved customers for the instant boiling water aspect of our quality German kitchens.

Our customers want 100DegC without the splutter – smooth flow technique from Hotspot is our saviour here.

And we really like the Hotspot Titanium tap styles, and the compactness of the heater.

Last but not least Kitchen Trends

Natural Looking

Natural looks are a trend in interior design. A good reason to add another wood design to the successful Riva: the new Bergamo oak. Its light grey component, vertical gradient, simple grain, and the authentic tactile feeling make it unmistakable. Styling tip: Bergamo oak harmonises perfectly with our new features in taupe grey and basalt, but it also matches perfectly with the new ultramatt Easytouch surface in white.

White is Exciting

White is exciting and it’s trendy! Senso in premium matt makes the difference and sets itself apart completely from other surfaces in terms of look and feel. The special anti-fingerprint coating of this lacquered front reduces annoying fingerprints, which helps reduce cleaning effort. The velvety-warm surface invites users to experience the feeling of touch.

Popular Classics

Fresh White kitchens are among our most popular classics and never go off trend. They can be combined diversely and restyled again and again. New: the ultramatt Easytouch in clear white. The proven anti-fingerprint coating makes it unbelievably easy to care for, simple to clean, and robust against a number of different substances.

Setting The Mood

Trending colour Traupe Grey. Grey nuances continue to set the mood in interior design. New with Easytouch: Taupe grey – a warm grey with a light grey component, subtle but possessing an impressive effect. As a neutral colour, taupe grey creates a relaxing and calming ambience and represents a modern, very elegant look.

Strong Texture

A strong texture, robust but with great looks: Taupe grey basalt completes our StoneArt range of coating materials and is attractive thanks to its depth, authentic surface texture, which is reminiscent of real stone. StoneArt is especially resistant to scratches and impacts thanks to the high-quality laminate and excels overall in daily use with its strong durability. The taupe grey basalt décor is also available as an Xtra worktop and is the perfect colour match to the new Easytouch in taupe grey.

Calming Effect

Calm Blue is gaining interest and especially Cascada cottage style updated with the Nordic-inspired fjord blue. This colour already celebrated its successful début last year with Easytouch. With its calming effect, fjord blue is a rich new addition to the cottage style segment. An advantage for planning: complete colour looks and modern combinations comprising frame fronts and straight fronts are now easy to implement. The perfect addition: Pilasters and crowns that integrate harmonically and set stylish accents.
