Kitchens have a new job. They are becoming more than just a room for cooking. In 2015 the heart of home serves as a multi-purpose room: the hub of conversation, get-togethers and celebration. If you are looking to revamp the heart of your home, give your kitchen the love and attention it deserves, then we at John Bosco want to hear your ideas and talk about how we can make them a reality.
BESPOKE KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS 2015
WARMER METALS
Warm metal hardware (such as knobs, handles and facets) are replacing cold metals like stainless steal. Shiny brass is perfect for modern style kitchens, turning your kitchen into an elegant space. You can also try copper for a toned-down look, perfect for traditional style kitchens giving that old rustic country effect.
TOUCH ME TEXTURE’S
Touch me textures such as wood appearing in its natural form are reinventing that popular rustic country kitchen. It’s in with the old and out with the popular high gloss finishes. However if you are interested in a more polished look, vertical-joint wood paneling is another way of adding texture to your kitchen; or if you just want to keep it simple and functional the classic shaker style kitchen is back too.
CEILING EMBELLISHMENTS
Ceiling embellishments are popular in living rooms but you will now see them more in kitchens than before. Ceiling embellishments can range from traditional ceiling beams whether it is solid wood or wooden veneer for that traditional homely country effect, vintage coving for a touch of elegance, bright lighting fixtures for that modern bright and airy look and many more.
MINIMAL CABINETS / OPEN SHELVING
For those of you who want to keep your kitchen modern but still have that homely lived in feeling, it’s all about open space. This open and airy but lived in look is achieved by keeping wall cabinets minimal, using open shelving instead; a practical solution for kitchen space rather than display, personalizing the space yet keeping it functional.
ISLANDS
Kitchen islands are becoming more than just an area to prepare and serve food; they are transforming into furniture style features. This new kitchen style helps to evolve the kitchen as the hub of the home, a family space rather than just a culinary workstation. This new approach to islands is bringing a welcoming uniqueness to kitchens.
