BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
" 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 . "
HOME BAR
The pandemic blurred the lines between the worlds of hospitality and domesticity to an extent that we continue to look for ways we can recreate the drinking and dining experiences offered by bars , restaurants and hotels within our own homes .
“ The kitchen is at the heart of this concept – consumers don ’ t just want an area to cook in , but a comfortable space that can be used for a variety of activities and where everyone can come together at the end of the day ,” says Sarah Metz , SieMatic Interior Architect .
SieMatic ' s Mondial concept has been created with this flexibility in mind – its multi-purpose offering evolving the kitchen beyond a place to just prepare meals to somewhere that can we used a space to work , help children with their homework , come together with friends , entertain and relax .
Art Deco-inspired vintage bar carts have become a trendy way of building a space to create your favourite cocktail at home but those looking for something more permanent may want to incorporate small-scale bar cabinetry into their kitchen design with spaces to display glassware , wine and spirit bottles and drinks accessories .
The home bar concept isn ’ t limited to alcoholic consumption either with the popularity of high-end domestic coffee machines to create the coffee-bar vibe also on the increase .
