Modern Kitchen Design Trends MODERN KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS A kitchen is no longer just a kitchen; it’s a place for entertaining, for bringing the family together and a place of design. No longer are they a place to cook food and hide the dirty dishes, but a place to express yourself, with a sleek marriage of design and function. Modern doesn’t mean a kitchen has to look like something out of a futuristic movie, it means the ability to apply technology to make something smart and usable, whether it be through smart appliances, new modern materials or just clever design features. A kitchen design is only limited by your imagination. Modern Appliance Design One of the most revolutionary ways in which we see the transformation of kitchens, is through the modernisation of appliances. A stove used to be a place of greasy cooking hobs, leaving a large part of the kitchen unusable, but now its become a blended and sometimes hidden bench top. A sink has moved on from dishes and is now a water feature, a cooler bin for entertaining or a design piece. With bespoke faucets and feature fountains, they can now form the centrepiece of your kitchen island. Appliances can now be designed around your kitchen, not the kitchen around them. Once upon a time, you had a one size fits all fridge and stove. Many of us still have the classic four burner stovetop with oven below, but now you are not restrained to this alone. If it’s a simple clean surface you are looking for but the response of gas cooking, look no further than an induction stove. Instant heat with an elegant glass top which can work into any kitchen as well as double as a benchtop when not in use. If you are more into your classic style of cooking, the old gas hob has come a long way. The marriage of design and function has brought an appliance that can bring your cooking into the centre of any kitchen. The change in kitchen appliances is not only seen in function, but form as well. Gone are the days of matching silver toasters and kettles trying to blend in, but colourful and design oriented appliances. Now they are a feature to be celebrated from a bright red fridge to a green toaster. Not only do these appliances look good, sometimes they are even smarter than you! With the development of smart appliances, now our fridge can tell us when we are running out of something and even order it for us. Smart Appliances The new Samsung Family Hub refrigerator is like having a giant smart phone inside your fridge that does all of the above and more, letting you watch TV or connect to your spotify and listen to music while you cook. The morning struggle is elevated with our coffee machine starting on its own and having your favourite beverage ready and waiting for you.  Even those surprise rotten eggs are a thing of the past, with gadgets designed to monitor the quality of your eggs. With more and more appliances designed around time saving, it leaves more time to enjoy life, and maybe that extra cup of ...

7 Essential Tips For Styling Your Kitchen Like A Pro Kitchen Styling 101 Building or renovating a kitchen can be a daunting time. Your house is in pieces and you are often left cooking on an old camp stove. But once all the hard work is done, it’s time to add your personal touch, making the kitchen uniquely your own and creating your dream entertainment space.  Thinking ahead is important when styling, you need to make sure you have an idea of what you are trying to achieve, otherwise you can end up with a lot of “things” that don’t quite fit. Remember to think, colour, form and function. 1. Beautiful but useful Everyone loves some beautiful vases or decorative trays, but these things can quickly over-run a kitchen making the space feel cluttered. You want to look for items that can be useful as well. A vase doesn’t have to wait around for fresh flowers, but can work as a utensil holder. Or instead of accumulating ugly chopping boards that never seem to fit anywhere, find some that are beautiful and something that you can leave on display. There is nothing more elegant than a lovely piece of hardwood doubling as a wall decoration. Just remember to ask yourself, do I need this and what can I use it for? 2. Pops of colour On the topic of beautiful but useful, we can use this to bring in some colour to the kitchen. Dark tones and black are dominating the kitchen designs this year, so it’s nice to bring in some colour. This can be through brightly coloured candles, a toaster or even a tea towel. Never underestimate a tea towel. It’s always on display and can either be celebrated or look like an out of place rag. Adding some tassels to a brightly coloured tea towel ads some lovely pop to the kitchen. 3. Add some greenery Another way to bring colour into your kitchen is with some vegetation. Fake flower and ferns are often just that, fake, but with such a strong focus on healthy living spaces, it's nice to incorporate some real plants. This can be anything from a beautiful flowering succulent that looks good all year round or something useful like a herb garden. Herb gardens can range from a hanging herb garden to a few supermarket herbs placed in elegant pots. This brings a beautiful and natural feel into the kitchen and gives you access to some lovely fresh herbs while cooking.  Placing a bowl of fruit or nuts can also help bring an organic feel or add some colour to an empty bench space. 4. Creative lighting Lighting would be one of the most important aspects of a kitchen, needing to adapt to its many uses. Bright, broad light that doesn’t cast shadows is needed for cooking. Having a cupboard that you can never see into or a bench that casts a shadow of your head is going to create frustration. But then you don’t want guests to feel like they are sitting in the spotlight when you are trying to share a nice glass of wine. One of the most adaptable and beautiful lighting solutions would be the pendant light. It creates an aesthetically pleas...
