The kitchen It is one of the rooms that most denote the passage of time. For this reason, a good idea is to design it with concepts of timelessness, betting, for example, on neutral tones (white, grey…) and natural materials such as wood. But its design is inevitably linked to current trendswhich little by little, and almost without realizing it, permeate and determine the final design of the kitchen.
If this 2022 you are going to face a total or partial kitchen reform (also if it is just a facelift) it is convenient to know the latest trends of one of the most relevant rooms in the house. An importance that became evident in the confinement in which many rediscovered the kitchen, and the concept of home that revolves around it. For that home to materialize and the kitchen to be that room in which we want to meet, eat, do homework, receive…, in short, live, its most outstanding trends will help you.
1.- Skirting boards or skirting boards are not only white or chrome
In the search for the most elegant kitchens, the skirting boards acquire the same lacquered colors as the furniture or stand out against furniture with finishes such as brass.
And when we say that they will be hidden, it means that they will be integrated into the wall units or even “literally” hidden in the countertop. By work bells we mean these and, if they don’t have anything around, all the better.
3.- Shelves in the kitchen to finish off the dashboard
The intermediate shelves in the kitchen that finish off the backsplash can be used to display plants, photos or your best breakfast crockery. But it is a way to “salonize” the kitchen.
4.- Gray granite is the new “carrara marble”
Five years ago we began to experience the “boom” of Carrara marble finishes in kitchens and bathrooms. But if you are going to reform a kitchen or a bathroom in 2022, it is better to choose the stone that simulates gray granite. It will be next.
5.- Wood or elegant colors (taupe, beige, dark green) for the furniture
Goodbye to white / white kitchens (off white is better), to bright kitchens or to red kitchens. if you choose the color must be unsaturated (mixed with grey). This is maroon, instead of red for example. But you will not fail with beige or taupe for furniture.
6.- The dining kitchen
With permission from the open kitchens. The authentic revolution and what we have to tend to is to design dining kitchens. And say goodbye to the living / dining room.
