KITCHENS
DOUBLE ISLANDS
Double Islands have surged in popularity during this past year , as consumers have found themselves at home working , teaching and cooking and spending vast amounts of time in the kitchen .
Helena Myers , Director of The Myers Touch comments : “ As we are spending more times in our homes , families need more space in their kitchens so they can work , rest , eat and entertain . This kitchen design trend adds storage to your kitchen whilst creating a statement piece , and it also provides more space to prepare food and entertain guests . With sleek lines and plenty of counter space , double islands are the ultimate in luxury kitchen design .” Embracing ' Niksen ' into our homes . As we look further ahead into a positive 2022 , optimism and creativity are major themes emerging with consumers wanting to nest and nurture themselves , whilst relaxing in their own homes . Despite consumers seeing the end of social restrictions starting on 19th July , they continue to embrace ' Niksen ' the Dutch concept of doing nothing and are seeking out interiors to suit this emerging concept that is nurturing and supportive . In previous times , Mindfulness has pushed consumers towards purchases that allow them to be present and ' living in the moment '. Niksen is about allowing the mind to wander and just ' be ' with Kitchen and interior design reflecting this realistic and relaxed take on home life .
