Australian Kitchen Design Trends 2017

Kitchen Design Trends 2017

Creating a kitchen that reflects your personality can be an exciting project. Architects and interior designers are constantly coming up with innovative ways of doing this through better use of space and improving the aesthetics of the kitchen. Here are some of the recent design trends of Australian kitchens.

 Integrated storage and workstations

Rather than having each appliance stand out in the kitchen giving it a cluttered look, you can have all appliances and storage spaces integrated into the design of the kitchen. This design essentially hides all the appliances from view behind cabinet doors giving a seamless look to the kitchen.

Getting smarter in small spaces

You may have a small kitchen, but that does not mean that it should be cramped. New designs efficiently make small kitchens look spacious and cleverly increase the storage spaces using efficiently built cabinets and overhead shelves. Lighting and colour can change the way you feel in a small kitchen to a very large extent.

 Graphic floor tiles

More and more homeowners are choosing graphic floor tiles over homogenous tiles. Graphic tiles are often used as a means to add interest to all-white kitchens. Some people choose to mix and match different graphic floor tiles to create startling effects. One of the new ideas is to mix parquet with tile flooring.

Move over, upper kitchen cabinets

One of the new trends in kitchen design is to avoid upper kitchen cabinets. Cabinets on the walls can often shed shadow on the kitchen and make it look dull and gloomy. Avoiding these can make the kitchen look more well lit and spacious. This can also give you plenty of wall space to add something decorative which will be pleasing to the eyes.

Bold wall-to-wall feature tiles 

Rather than using tiles as splashback, many homeowners are choosing to have wall-to-wall tile coverage. The trend was brought in by the availability of designer tiles generated through the collaboration between designers and tile companies. With these tiles, it is possible to create dramatic effects in your kitchen.

Interesting textures

Adding textures to the kitchen design will help introduce interesting contrasts. It can impact your senses through tactile and visual effects. The way the interior designing of a room impacts your senses can have implications on the way you feel while you use that space. Using textures creatively is a great way to make a space that inspires you.
