BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
“ The surge in interest in home bars is also simultaneous with the demand for the aforementioned broken plan kitchens , so incorporating a bar countertop into your kitchen is a great way to tick both boxes and create a multi-purpose kitchen feature that has both visual and high sociable appeal ,” says Sarah Metz , SieMatic Interior Architect .
ELEVATED DINING
With the trend for entertaining at home showing no sign of fading , the challenge consumers now face is how to elevate that experience so it continues to impress .
Creating the premium dining experience of high-end bars and restaurants means getting the aesthetic right but it ’ s not just about luxe fabrics and materials . Seemingly small things , such as flexible lighting options and ensuring everyday clutter is out of sight with built-in pantry cupboards and pocket doors , can make all the difference .
“ Look to create intimate dining spaces with beautiful tablescapes that showcase collectible and handmade tableware , linens and other personal touches and talking points to really lift and enhance the shared dining experience way beyond that of the traditional ‘ dinner party ’,” says Sarah Metz , SieMatic Interior Architect .
PERSONAL EXPRESSION
Many consumers are embracing individual style and expressing themselves through their interior spaces , no longer following ‘ rules ’ but instead gaining confidence to embrace their personal tastes .
With all the seriousness going on in the outside world , many want to experience their home as a personal sanctuary to escape to .
This trend isn ’ t a trend as such , as it inspires complete uniqueness , ranging from bold brights to calm neutrals with a play on textures and materials .
SieMatic ’ s Mondial concept embraces this trend , it transcends traditional luxury , offering a new luxury that gives customers the opportunity to express themselves with the greatest possible degree of individuality .
