Smart appliances

Investing in innovative, energy-efficient appliances can add value to your home and save you money in the long run, so it's no wonder why smart appliances are predicted to be a major kitchen trend for 2023.

Some examples include boiling water taps, downdraft extractors and self-cleaning ovens.

Natural kitchens

Nature has always been a significant source of inspiration in interior design, but in recent years, people have sought to replicate nature's soothing effects more than ever.

In 2023, nature-inspired features will continue to take centre stage in the form of natural stone, wood and earthy hues.

You don't have to break the bank to create a natural-looking kitchen. Instead of solid materials, opt for wood-effect or stone-effect finishes in your worktops, doors and shelving. 

Warm neutrals

Neutral will always be popular, but more and more homeowners are recently embracing warmer grey shades.

Warm neutrals are equally as versatile as lighter colours, mixing well with various colours and finishes. Toasty neutrals will help create a more intimate, cosy atmosphere if you're working with ample space. 

Social kitchen islands

Kitchen islands continue to be a sought-after design feature, but kitchen islands are continuously evolving to become more socially focused.

Creating a sociable kitchen island is simple; ask your kitchen designer to indent part of the work surface and place stools underneath where friends and family can perch whenever.

There are plenty of other ways to make your kitchen island feel more sociable. For example, along with a seating arrangement, you could add a wine fridge, wine drawers or open shelving, so everything is accessible and on show.
