BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
FLEXIBLE FEATURES , ECO ELEMENTS AND A SPACE THAT PROVIDES A SANCTUARY
2023 kitchen trends according to a design expert
Ruth Lavender , design expert at Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery , outlines the top kitchen trends to look out for in 2023 :
“ Over recent years , the way we use our living spaces has changed , and the kitchen is no exception . Many of us are now enjoying more time in our homes , whether it ’ s remotely , entertaining , or relaxing . This shift in behaviour has not only influenced the role of the home and certain features that have become the new non-negotiables , but it has also had a more nuanced effect on emerging interiors trends .
“ Homeowners are becoming more selective over the trends and styles they incorporate – they ’ re looking for a kitchen design that will not only add flair , but also work for them and their families for years to come .
“ Here are some of the trends that are set to dominate kitchen design in 2023 .
SANCTUARY
“ As we ’ re spending more time at home , there ’ s a greater focus on creating a space that makes us feel relaxed and at ease . This trend has trickled down from the bathroom , into the living room and is now making its way into kitchen design .
“ Sanctuary-style kitchens are perfect for those who prefer a slower pace of life . It ’ s a ‘ less is more ’ approach which draws on influence from nature , bringing a sense of calm into the home amidst so much external uncertainty . This trend highlights the importance of self-reflection through serenity , muted tones and raw materials .
