Design Tips for a Classy Kitchen

The latest generation of kitchen trends combine functionality with sophistication whilst still remaining in reach of many homebuyers.

Among the most popular and useful trends emerging in kitchens are open-plan layouts with hidden pantries, plus outdoor kitchens.

According to Interior Designers in Perth, Butler’s pantries are the hottest things in kitchen design spurred by the open-plan living trend, because they allow the mess to be kept away from the area where you gather or entertain.

With so many options during the planning process to consider, the following design tips can be helpful in styling your modern dream kitchen;

  • Engineered stone benchtops come in a range of colours and various finishes and are a more durable option for family.
  • Under benchtops create modern, clean lines with function as a priority and discrete single dishwashers in drawers either side of the sink.
  • Consider soft closing drawers with push and release cupboards for an increasingly popular ‘no-handle look.
  • Wood grain finishes add warmth and sophistication to any kitchen design at any budget.
  • Try combining a plain accent tone on a set of drawers or overhead cupboards to break up the grain and complement the look.
  • Don’t forget colour – choose a colour that reflects your personality and makes you comfortable as the kitchen is one room in the house where you spend a lot of time.
  • Remember – trends usually last 10 years.
