Modular kitchens have gained popularity for the functional and aesthetic value that they add to modern homes. They have revolutionised the cooking process while making it more enjoyable.
Every year, designers and design houses from across the world come up with new concepts that soon start trending. These innovative, as well as exciting trends, are taking modular kitchens into the next level.
What’s Hot in the World of Kitchen Designs?
Whether you want to overhaul your kitchen design or remodel it as per the latest trends, we have got you covered. Here are this year’s most popular Modular Kitchen Trends that you will love to include in your home.
Sustainable Kitchens
Around the world, there is growing awareness about climate change and its harsh effects on this planet. Living an eco-friendly life is not only good for the environment but also for your health. So, it comes as no surprise that the modular kitchens of 2020 emphasise on the sustainability mantra.
Employing the use of natural materials, cabinets made from repurposed wood or other sustainable materials, low emission panels, eco-friendly paints, etc., ensure sustainability and an eco-friendly approach. From water-saving faucets to energy-conserving appliances, modern kitchens employ the best of both worlds and help turn kitchens into what they should be – a healthier place for everyone.
Smart Kitchens
When homes are becoming smarter, should kitchens be too far behind? Technology integrated kitchens are regarded as one of the biggest trends of 2020. From appliances to the lighting to the faucets, technology has seeped into every function. A kitchen faucet equipped with motion-sensing technology is an example. Another smart kitchen trend that is getting popular is smart refrigerators. They maintain the freshness of the contents longer and even alert you when any of your grocery items run low!
Also note, smart kitchens are not just about individual smart appliances but also technology that integrates them into a seamless interconnected network. If you wish to convert your kitchen into a smart one, you can go for a complete smart kitchen range rather than buying smart gadgets on a piecemeal basis.
Dark Kitchens Are In
It seems that the world is getting over its fascination with white kitchens. The trend in 2020 is dark kitchens! The matte finish achieved through natural wood, dark-coloured stones or paint is a staggering feature of dark kitchens. While it lends a luxurious and modern ambience to a kitchen, combine it with open cabinets to give a fresh look.
Dark kitchen cabinets render a luxurious atmosphere as well as elegance while covering the kitchen with an understated dramatic essence. At the same time, make sure they do not overwhelm the room because it will make your kitchen look dark. Add in some colour and attractive accessories to let your kitchen shine through. Offsetting dark colours by lighter colours will also add appealing colour contrast to your kitchen.
Fascinating Backsplashes are at the Forefront of 2020 Trends
Backsplashes can be fun, creative, and attractive. A trend you will love is the new styles and designs in backsplash. Instead of subway tiles, more designers are using larger slabs of tiles. Tiles with textures and patterns are also popular.
Handcrafted backsplashes that spell luxury are also going to be a popular choice for kitchens. Another exciting trend is matching backsplash and counter-top.
No matter the size and style of the kitchen, trendy backsplash designs refresh the look of the kitchen. If chosen well, a backsplash can also serve as an art piece in a kitchen. An attractive backsplash helps grab attention and makes the kitchen stand out.
Advanced Storage Options
Modular kitchens are all about keeping the kitchens organised and neat. No wonder then, every year, new and advanced kitchen storage options come into the fray, lending more appeal and purpose to modular kitchens.
As always, storage optimisation continues to dominate the purpose of modular kitchens in 2020. Organised pantries with a place for everything, pull-out shelves, and multi-level compartments which help in storage optimisation are taking storage to a new level.
It is also an exciting time for those who love old design styles, as earlier trends such as open shelves are making a comeback in 2020. Minimalist but functional, modern open shelves can also help in the customisation of your kitchen space. Innovative options such as floating open shelves and multipurpose panels lend a visual appeal to your kitchen. Open shelves also help to showcase your favourite dishes, cups, mugs, and jars with pride.
Upper cabinets are losing their sheen, and deep drawers are taking their place. The latter is more accessible than cabinets that are out of reach. Larger units too are ruling kitchen trends as they not only lend ample storage but are also convenient in terms of easy accessibility.
A Pop of Colour to Add More Cheer
A splash of colour can add charm to your kitchen. The latest trend in 2020 isn’t colourful kitchens but a pop of colour in unexpected places. It breaks the monotony of the space, lending a visual contrast. The affinity for neutral shades may continue, but homeowners are also taking to bold contrasting colours.
A fantastic way to incorporate fun colours into your kitchen is through colourful appliances, another happening trend of 2020. Appliances in bright shades lend personality to an otherwise boring space and make your kitchen vibrant.
Adding a piece of art, painting a statement wall, or a couple of cabinets are other ways to lend a cheerful tone to the kitchen. In terms of colours, navy blues, plum, and bright and light shades of green dominate the current trend.
Quartz Is Continuing its Popularity In 2020 As Well
The popularity of quartz countertops continues in 2020. Quartz comes with many benefits. It is a hard material and lasts for long. It is easier to maintain than granite. Quartz is also anti-microbial, another reason which makes it an excellent material for counter-tops.
Today, quartz comes in a variety of colours and finishes, thus making it a suitable component of aesthetic kitchens. Quartz also pairs well with dark kitchens, another trend of 2020.
Metal Mixing and Matching
Little metal details on faucets, sinks, handles, light fixtures, etc., make a kitchen look modern. The current trend is all about mixing and matching different metals. You can mix and match metals through hardware, plumbing, and lighting fixtures. Mixing and matching metals provide a layer of dimension and interest to the kitchen.
For example, combining gold with nickel could be a great option. Brass light fixtures, nickel knobs, silver handles, etc., lend different colour tones and finishes to a kitchen.
No matter the size of your kitchen, try to incorporate these trends as they will help you lend a contemporary look and function to your kitchen. Trendy designs will also elevate the space into a more purposeful and comfortable kitchen.
