he kitchen has always been the heart of the home, and now more than ever we appreciate our kitchen spaces and what they have to offer – not only for practical and domestic use, but for a place to socialise and interact with friends and family. With more time at home, it has been the ideal time to re-vamp and re-think our living spaces, not to mention with less opportunity to spend money on holidays, we have a bit of extra to spend on home improvements instead. It is important when choosing your next kitchen that you find the perfect balance between creating a timeless, yet striking aesthetic – but also take into consideration the practical elements, such as storage and space. Kitchens have never been as stylish and innovative as they are now, so there are certainly some key design elements to consider when you go for your kitchen design consultation.

taps, hidden extractor fans or touch screen refrigerators – life is being made easier with these forward-thinking details. Colour is always top of the list when it comes to kitchen design. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to colour, but for 2021 and beyond it looks like grey and neutral tones are being replaced with darker tones, which have especially become popular for worktops and furnishings. Pops of colour are always a great way to break up the room and add a quirky twist – green and blue shades are particularly stylish for 2021. If you want to keep up with trends, the ‘industrial’ look is ever-present, with combinations of metal and concrete features, giving your kitchen a stripped back appearance. No matter what your budget, or style, leading kitchen suppliers will be able to advise you on the right kitchen for you and will guide you through the process from the first consultation to completion.
