Often seen as the most important room in the house, the kitchen is the “heart” of our homes.

It’s usually the room in our homes with the highest financial value, and is the space in which we enjoy and cook food with family and friends. The kitchen can hold special memories.

 Quartz Work Surfaces

In the past, quartz has been perceived as a luxury worktop material, but with the innovation of composite surfaces, this natural stone has become an affordable and fashionable option in bathrooms and kitchens. Steadily gaining popularity, the quartz trend looks set to last into 2017.

  1. Industrial Design

The industrial look has grown in popularity in the past few years, particularly within Scandinavia, and will be a trend to look out for in 2017. Created with details such as rustic metals, exposed brick, minimalist furniture and exposed pipes, the look is influenced by factory spaces.

One of the benefits of this look is that you can combine materials such as stone and wood with concrete and create a style that is genuinely your own.

  1. Handleless Units

Simple and modern in style, pure and handleless doors are proving extremely popular in today’s kitchens. Particularly suited to gloss finishes, this look fits with neutral and grey tones.

  1. Storage Solutions

Clutter-free worktops will be an emerging trend for 2017. Opening up the space allows you to cook in a calmer and more hygienic atmosphere. Cabinetry options now on the market enable you to store items in various compartments with shelves for spices, oils and tea. Consider also hiding any small kitchen appliances such as kettles and food processors in tall larders. Practicality and style come together in this kitchen interior trend.

  1. Monochrome

Black, grey and white tones will prove popular in 2017. These tones will work either on worktops, entire cabinets or more subtly in accents and small details like kitchen appliances or waterproof roller blinds, such as those found at http://www.ucblinds.co.uk/PVC-Waterproof-Roller-Blinds.

  1. Copper Accents

The colour trend for 2017 is copper. While earthy and grey simple tones continue to be popular in doors and cabinets, copper coloured accessories, appliances and handles are starting to emerge as a trend this year. Consumers want an alternative to plain stainless steel or black to suit their kitchen cabinets.
