CROSS GENERATIONAL
The right appliances can turn any space into a home, and next year will focus on product solutions, which seamlessly integrate into the kitchen and laundry space, and provide user-friendly technology for all ages. Whether it comes down to customisable features that ensure ease of use such as cooking functions and recipe assistants, well-considered layouts that think about how high or low an appliance is fitted, gesture controls and automatic activation or connecting the fridge, oven and even washer / dryer to a smart home system, 2026 will place a greater emphasis on‘ family appeal’ as the modern kitchen supports all members of the household.
In fact, the next big thing to assist the multigenerational kitchen will be adaptive cooking technology, which is designed to give end users more control and independence when conducting daily household tasks and maintaining good hygiene in the home. From real-time cooking monitoring, automatically adjusting temperatures through to ergonomic handles, special surface treatments that are non-slip or increase the products durability, and accessible product choices, tomorrow’ s kitchen needs to serve both tech-savvy and less techfamiliar users, regardless of age or ability.
Sirius Buying Group also provide its independent retail community with prime access to the latest fitted furniture solutions so they can engage with customers who are looking to fully renovate their kitchen. As personalisation drives the design conversation, Sirius predicts that the modern kitchen space will go back to nature in 2026, erring towards a pared back natural style with quality raw materials, vertical groove design elements, and minimalist cabinets complementing the latest built-in appliances. In contrast, the traditional kitchen space will centre around in-frame and painted Shaker-style doors in pastel, earthy shades with metallic design elements, and heritage style appliances being used to anchor the scheme.
