Looking to update your Kitchen? Perhaps you’d love a fashionable kitchen island, a bigger cooker, statement splashback or a whole new colour scheme. Or perhaps you only know what you really don’t want and are after some inspiration? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Investing in any element of the kitchen can prove invaluable, for both while you live in your home but also when it comes to adding value for resale. Be inspired to make the right style choices for your home, with a look at the latest trends in kitchen design.

1. Clever compact design

Whether narrow, square or broken plan, where space is at a premium compact kitchens come to the rescue. More and more kitchen design looks to benefit from minimal clutter and maximum efficiency.

2. Hot water on demand

We’ve become so accustomed to everything in an instant, that even boiling the kettle is a wait we would rather do without. Hot water taps are becoming a sought-after item for the kitchen of 2021.

3. Dark surfaces

Our kitchens are following the fashion for taking surfaces to the dark side. The trend for dark surfaces has emerged as a result of the shift towards two tone kitchens. Dark worktops and countertops can be offset by lighter furniture and bright ‘colour pops’ to ensure they work in any sized room and create an air of luxury and sophistication.
