AUTUMN / WINTER KITCHEN TRENDS
Ruth Lavender , design expert at Benchmarx Kitchens , outlines the trends set to dominate kitchen design this autumn / winter
Earth tones
“ This autumn we ’ re moving away from all-white minimalist design and embracing a nature-inspired colour palette . This trend is all about taking it back to the roots by incorporating tones that reflect the natural world , offering a sense of serenity .
“ The beauty of earth-inspired hues is that they can be very diverse , fitting the role of a neutral base colour without being one-dimensional . This scheme also provides an opportunity to experiment with textures and materials to add interest .
“ The palette can be both warm and cool , depending on personal preference . It includes traditional warm colours like terracotta , but also spans across the colour wheel to include more muted tones like sage green , cashmere , taupe and stone grey .
“ Due to the neutral nature of this scheme , it can be worked into a variety of designs , from modern and minimalist to traditional and rustic , making this trend a versatile choice that creates timeless appeal .
“ These natural tones can be welcomed into the space through your choice of earthy cabinetry , wall colours and accessories . Wicker and rattan furniture , wood surfaces and floors , and greenery are great ways to build up the scheme .
