Colour Trends For Kitchens
All-white kitchens might look sanitary but they’re hellish to keep clean. Perhaps that’s why they’re firmly on the backburner for 2019 colour trends.
If you’re going to use one colour in your kitchen reno, say Aussie designers, make it a strong one, such as a deep jewel shade or earthy tone, to add an element of sumptuousness to the kitchen area.
Dulux colour trends 2019 can provide creative inspiration for your kitchen to stand out from the rest. See how complementary tones in the palettes can be used for walls and cabinets as a surprise for the eye. Colour trends for 2019 are still inspired by nature, with greens, warm browns and complementary shades of ochre, highlighted by metallics and burnished gold. Don’t take nature- inspired for dull. Colours are bold and confident in the Dulux Identity range. A more muted scheme is found in Wholeness and Repair. Dulux Legacy continues the trend, with traditional echoes.
Any of the Dulux colour palettes works well with contemporary or classic kitchen layouts. If you want to be on par with Europe, then consider the Italian colour trend of using dark, dramatic shades for countertops, cabinetry and kitchen appliances, punctuated with accents of gold, white and grey.
Sophisticated Matte Finishes
Can’t decide between a flat matte and shiny gloss finish? It’s a no brainer. On trend kitchen cabinets, countertops, hardware and furniture will have a matte finish in 2019. Why you ask?
A matte finish is smooth, sophisticated and lends a sense of luxury to your kitchen. Matte surfaces also tend to disguise stains, smudges and scratches, while high gloss finishes emphasise them. You’ll spend less time cleaning and more time concocting delicious meals!
Low Maintenance Countertops
Fussing over your countertop isn’t on the cards for kitchen design ideas 2019. Ease of care, minimal grout and a simplified look is the latest trend for kitchen countertops. Concrete is a popular material for the ability to customise its color, shape, appearance, as well as its high recyclability.
An example of this is terrazzo, popular in the 50s and 60s, and now in demand for kitchen design ideas 2019 in a big way. You’ll love the way terrazzo, with its coloured chips of marble or granite set in polished concrete, lends a playful aspect and an injection of colour to your kitchen countertop.
