Kitchen design trends for 2016

The notion of the kitchen has changed dramatically over the last 10 years; kitchen spaces are no longer merely functional but have become the heart of the home and a place in which to gather the family together.

Here at Priory Kitchen Studio, we are constantly challenged to second guess the aesthetics and design trends for kitchens throughout the year in order to provide clients with exceptional knowledge and support.

Some of the trends we have identified are:

Linear and minimalism

One of the biggest trends for interior design this year will be linear kitchens, featuring “floating” cabinets with unbroken and continuous lines giving the illusion of space and light. Beautiful details, such as handleless doors, hidden appliances and deep drawers, make this kitchen design both functional and beautiful. A true modern classic.

Mixed materials

For a really chic and luxurious kitchen, take glossy surfaces and mix them with supple textures, such as beautifully grainy wood, brushed chrome, elegant marble and granite with lots of character. A fantastic way of showcasing the craftsmanship and integrity of the materials, it can be both modern and traditional.

Storage, storage, storage

Kitchens that utilise all of their potential are going to be major news this year. Designed to support the kitchen user, this kitchen design has storage at its heart. Providing a place for everything with deeper drawers, functional cupboard spaces, hidden and multi-use appliances and clever lighting, this is a kitchen that will work really hard for you.

We have a wealth of knowledge about how kitchens are used today and offer a service which is next-to-none in terms of customer satisfaction. Come talk to us today and see how we can make your kitchen dreams come true.
