KITCHENS

THE TOP COLOUR TRENDS FOR YOUR KITCHEN IN 2022 ( AND HOW TO USE THEM )

Introducing colour into the kitchen is a sure-fire way of adding personality and character and taking a look at the shades that are trending will ensure the space is modern and on point .
So , what colours will be popular in kitchen design in 2022 ?
According to the design team at Drew Forsyth & Co , the hottest palettes will include :
Smokey blue colourways create a classic , calming kitchen , adding character without being too imposing . Blue ' s soothing tones and general softness mirror nature ' s finest natural assets – with oceanic hues and summer sky shades bringing a sense of tranquillity to the kitchen .
Green is staking a claim to the trendiest kitchen colour for 2022 , with Instagram awash with nature-inspired green spaces . This is a shade that embodies renewal , rejuvenation , and energy , so it isn ' t surprising that homeowners can ' t get enough of it right now .
Bold and brave colour schemes are winning out . With the shift towards maximalism in interior design , the kitchen is no exception . Although it has a way to go before it can be described as anti-minimalist , adding colour for a sense of drama is being embraced . If you ' re still keen to play it safe , consider a two-tone effect , with a bold colour balanced out with a neutral shade to prevent the overwhelm .
