Colour is one of the easiest and most economical ways to add drama and interest to interior spaces, and the kitchen is no exception. PG Bison gives the lowdown on current trends.
For a long time now, there’s been a slant towards using earthier palettes, including stone, wood tones, beige, ash and brown, in the kitchen. Although these colours are still very much in vogue, there’s been a shift to include brighter colours in the heart of the home.
The latest kitchen colour trends gravitate towards the following:
– Oak woodgrains, “slow-grown” pine and elegant walnut, which have become increasingly fashionable.
– White remains a very popular choice.
– Our love affair with nature has inspired the use of a wide selection of greens.
– Blue still has a commanding presence with dark blues and blue violets gaining ground.
– Fantasy and weathered looks accent the broader range of items. The distressed charm they offer remains a popular look.
– There’s still a very strong presence of earthy, mud tones.
– Accents of citrus and plums offer a bright, exciting and fun element in many modern designs.
– Precious stones, mineral elements and concrete give depth to the contemporary trends.
