Top 3 Design Trends to Consider for Your New Kitchen

JA Horne Starlight • 28 September 2022

Ideas about how to design a kitchen change over time. What was cool and trendy a few years ago might not be anymore. If you like the way your kitchen looks and don't care about being trendy, you don't have to change anything. But if you're tired of the way your kitchen looks or like to be the first to try new things, it might be time for a change. Read on to learn about the most popular kitchen design trends so you can make your kitchen much more stylish and modern.


Dark Pops Of Colour

You might assume that any kind of dark colour design isn’t going to be very good in a kitchen. Surely this is one room you need to be light and bright; you need to be able to see what you’re doing, and you’ll want people to feel comfortable in the room. This is true, and that’s why a very dark kitchen design isn’t ideal. However, a few pops of darker colours throughout the room can work wonders. Not only will they really stand out, but they will make the lighter areas look even brighter, improving the overall look of the room.


One of the best ways to achieve this design aesthetic is through your kitchen countertops. If you can find something dark that goes well with the rest of the room, you can make your kitchen look very modern and very comfortable. This is not always an easy thing to do, so feel free to ask us any questions you may have regarding the design process.


Open-Plan Layouts

It's easy to see why open-plan design has become so popular in recent years. It lets people cook delicious meals while talking to each other at the same time. No longer will you have to stay in another room while your friends and family have fun without you because you're the cook. People have become more aware of how important it is to have family and friends close by in the past few years. Because of this, open-plan living, which was already popular, has exploded.


White Cabinets

People used to be afraid of white cabinets or anything else white in the kitchen. White gets dirty quickly, and any marks show up right away. In a room like a kitchen, where there is usually a lot of mess, this makes a lot of hard work, which is not what people want.



But things are starting to change, and white cabinets are now popular. Not only are they easy to clean if you choose the right materials (just like your countertop – again, talk to an expert about the best option here), but the white colour will reflect light and make the room look and feel much brighter and even bigger. If you want a beautiful, trendy kitchen, white cabinets with a darker countertop might be the best choice.
