ABODE 2022 KITCHEN TAP TRENDS

Leanne Adamson, Marketing Manager, Abode

Abode, award-winning designer and distributor of kitchen taps, sinks, bathroom taps & showering solutions anticipates the latest 2022 market trends for kitchen sinks and taps.

Leanne Adamson, Marketing Manager at Abode says, “The need for 24/7 convenience that empowers both home and lifestyle is inspiring new levels of design in the kitchen, utility room and hybrid wash zones like the home bar and boot room. Accordingly, end users both young and old, have become part of the ‘now’ generation where time is of the essence and well-considered functionality that improves health and wellbeing is top priority. This has led to a rise in high performance kitchen taps, which add value and maintain their design integrity without compromising on style or user safety. The trend for steaming hot water and filtered water on tap is set to reach new heights in 2022, with 3 IN 1 and 4 IN 1 taps becoming a staple of the traditional and contemporary kitchen whilst helping us all save energy, reduce our use of plastic bottles and lead healthier lives.”

Following extensive market research and trends monitoring, Abode reveals trends that are set to influence kitchen design in 2022:

MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING:

As more of us are living in a multigenerational household, home ergonomics is a point for discussion with an emphasis on ease of use and product safety. Water safety is a number one priority with taps designed to accommodate all ages, including those with limited mobility, which are outperforming other inclusive-style taps that forego style over substance. Having a kitchen that can grow with you is going to influence design of the kitchen wash zone next year with young families, downsizers and the newly retired alike seeking future-proof taps that are easy reach, hygienic and aesthetically distinct.

Abode’s Agilis Single Lever kitchen tap, features a sweeping L shape body with knurled aerator collar, the handle is located on the front of the tap body to reduce reach. Provides agile movement via a single lever, just a flick of a wrist will operate the water flow: great if you have dirty hands!

REFRESHINGLY SUSTAINABLE:

As climate change intensifies, the need to source only the most ethical products on the market is becoming a criterion when planning a kitchen space. Managing water and energy use will continue to remain on trend next year with multi-functional taps taking centre stage in the battle to save the planet. Enjoying the idea of chilled filtered water on tap is now easier than ever, not only cutting down on the use of plastic bottles but the rise in hot water taps has made the kettle redundant – freeing up space and time while reducing water consumption and energy in high usage households.

Abode’s Swich is a revolutionary design solution that will transform a new or existing kitchen tap in to a filtered water tap that delivers a constant supply of crystal clear filtered water! The exclusive and patented Swich water filter system is a discreet yet ultra-luxe device, which is easy to use and install, either retrofit in an existing kitchen or add to a new kitchen design.

Remaining popular with both interior designers and homeowners are industrialstyle kitchens, with trends reporting a new appreciation for sinks and taps that help define a scheme. Practicality and luxury will therefore go hand-in-hand, with contemporary matt black and delicately distinct brass finishes in high demand. Complementing big ticket items like your appliances and designer fixtures, black will bring extra refinement to this year’s industrial-style kitchen and welcome an eclectic mix of materials and finishes that see the sink and tap area stand up and be counted.

The Pronteau 4 IN 1 Propure Monobloc Quad (pictured in an industrial-style Matt Black finish) is available in five on trend finishes and two spout designs. This 4 IN 1 kitchen tap delivers steaming hot water via a twostage safety handle and with cold filtered drinking water on tap as well as the domestic hot and cold supply.
