BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
THE BIGGEST KITCHEN TRENDS OF 2023 ACCORDING TO SIEMATIC
German luxury kitchen furniture brand SieMatic identifies five trends that will be key to kitchen design in the coming year and beyond .
WELLNESS
Despite many people returning to the office last year , at-home fitness remains popular and continues to impact other lifestyle choices within the home . According to a study by the National Association of Home Builders , 60 % of homebuyers are looking for extra wellness space within their living environment .
While consumers are unlikely to be looking to carve out an area to build up a sweat right next to where they prepare their dinner , creating spaces to rest , recover and recharge is central to the at-home wellness trend . This can mean anything from using materials that evoke the calming effects of the natural world to choosing a palette of soft , spalike colours and lighting to create a sense of warmth and comfort .
BROKEN PLAN
Flexibility is key when it comes to home interiors and there is a persistent move away from open-plan living to a more dynamic ‘ broken plan ’ approach , where people look to separate their living spaces into zones for different activities with subtle variations , such as a different flooring or glass screening , without dividing them completely or cutting them off from one another . This creates separation when required but also allows the space to be opened up and fully utilised in the evenings and at weekends .
