CONTEMPORARY CONSERVATISM CREEPING BACK INTO KITCHEN DESIGN
The trend in kitchen design is following the three ‘ S ’ s - smart appliances , subtle colours and finishes , and sustainability – according to award-winning experts Kitchens International , as they explain what ’ s on trend for 2020 and 2021 .
Kevin Buchanan , Design Director for KI said : “ Trends in kitchen design evolve more slowly than the fashion industry but we are seeing a move towards subtler designs that can flow easily into other living spaces and the rise of smart appliances to make lives more efficient and sustainable . Better waste disposal with special units and multi-recycling bins are seen as a ‘ must have ’ along with LED and mood lighting and a lower energy footprint throughout the kitchen .”
The biggest developments in kitchen design for 2020 are the Cube Quooker tap which dispenses still , sparkling , chilled and boiling water , removing the need for large Americanstyle fridge freezers and kettles . Along with venting hobs , which means no overhead extraction , and the use of sliding or pocket doors to conceal storage are all new developments that are seen increasingly in most kitchens that KI designs .
