KITCHENS : THE HEART OF THE HOME
The past couple of years have changed the way we view our homes . 2021 saw the need for multifunctional rooms - areas that could be transformed from work to play without compromising on style . 2022 will see us adding personal expression to our rooms , most notably , the kitchen . From family dinners , entertaining friends and preparing meals , there ’ s a good reason the kitchen is referred to as the heart of the home .
UNIQUE TILES Backsplashes are back ! Subway tiles are classic , but homeowners are looking for something different , something that shows their personality . Expect to see a variety of bold colours and creative patterns emerge throughout 2022 .
CUSTOM IS KEY When it comes to choosing appliances , homeowners are ready to splurge on big-ticket items . Customisation and flexible design options will be key , from coloured appliances to custom panelling . Take Sub-Zero ' s integrated products , for example . With no visible grilles or hinges , it ' s possible for your refrigeration to be indistinguishable from surrounding cabinetry .
COLOUR A maximalist approach will appear as homeowners mix prints , patterns and materials .

MARBLE Nothing screams instant luxury quite like marble . While granite has dominated for the last couple of decades , marble offers a soft , soothing appeal , and vein-centric slabs are set to be the go-to countertop of the year . But , marble can be expensive so if you ' re keen to achieve the look on a budget , investigate laminate options . They might not have the same prestige as a classic marble kitchen counter , but you can get quality dupes that look like the real thing .
