ENJOY SLEEK SOPHISTICATION: Style a kitchen to ooze sophistication through seamless cabinetry, integrated appliances, and surfaces which emanate smooth luxury. Choose modern appliances for your walls and surfaces and hide storage behind handle-free displays and cabinetry, which provide a pristine, elegant appearance.

INDULGE IN METALLIC FEATURES: Incorporating metallic accents is often the easiest and most effective way of introducing statement elements offering timeless elegance. A charming copper finish, from piping, lighting, and vintage cookware, works a treat in a traditional space, while silvery touches can go a long way towards taking your contemporary kitchen up a notch. If working around a limited layout, deliver character through surface-top accessories, subtle light fixtures, and cabinet handles, for a sophisticated feel that doesn’t overdo it.

A MONOCHROME MASTERCLASS: Treat your kitchen to a monochromatic makeover by incorporating deep darks and blacks, crisp whites, and timeless greys into your layout. Achieve classic elegance through two-tone designs, with bold, dark cabinetry sitting smartly against contrasting clean, white walls and marbled surfaces. The beauty of monochrome is that the choice of shades across the entire colour spectrum allows various tones to blend without steering from your chosen scheme. Once again a splash of colour, here and there, will soften and enhance the monochrome effect.

THE AGE OF THE KITCHEN ISLAND: Kitchen islands never go out of style. Forming an impressive centrepiece in any kitchen, they offer various practical uses and look great. Suited to a wide array of styles, design your kitchen island to complement your chosen layout, whether it be classic or contemporary. Flexible and practical, islands don’t look out of place in any space and can serve as a work space, an eating/socialising hub and for underneath storage. 72 — Design and Build Franklin — 2021-2022

INJECT CHARACTER WITH PASTEL SPLASHES: Get ready to inject bright, seasonal shades and splashes of colour into your kitchen scene. When used correctly, vibrant colours can offer another dimension and really help your kitchen pop. Striking pastels will be particularly prominent, especially when implemented through subtle features and small appliances, and positioned as a powerful statement against a simple, minimalist backdrop. No matter how you choose to use colour in your kitchen, take care not to overwhelm the surroundings. Use colour to liven up your space, without diluting the core colour scheme.
