Kitchen Trends Of 2023 Will Be In Favour Of Modern Designs
Kitchen design trends in 2022 brought in a lot of vintage elements to kitchen designs. In 2023, we’re moving away from the classic style and switching to sharp and modern kitchen designs with straight clean lines. Nikita Chotrani, DesignCafe’s ace interior designer, says modern designs are easy to maintain and offer a more polished look. Check out this strikingly beautiful kitchen in dual colours, equipped with modular solutions that utilise every corner well.
Jessica Fernandis, one of DesignCafe’s senior Interior designers, says, “The key to setting something ordinary apart is through the details.” So, focus on the details to make an ordinary kitchen stand out. For instance, this kitchen has an interesting dado wall and glass top cabinets to display your fancy crockery. You can also add succulents that bring a green vibe to the kitchen space.
Space-Saving Furniture Is One Of The Current Trends In Kitchen Design
When asked about the latest kitchen cabinet trends, Jessica suggests going for designs that maximise space and make the kitchen more organised. Pantry units, hidden drawers, corner units — all of these help keep your kitchen spic and span without demanding too much space. With our lives getting busier day by day, modular mechanisms like these help in getting work done faster and ensure easy organisation of kitchen essentials.
Tasneem Arsiwala, our top designer from our Mumbai Experience Centre, says people are now more inclined towards high functionality and extra storage space, but without compromising the look of the kitchen. We understand that this may sound like being in a pickle, but DesignCafe’s modular kitchens offer the best of both worlds through space-saving solutions and stunning looks.
Stone Slabs Are Leading Kitchen Backsplash Trends
Yes, stone slabs are replacing tiles and lacquered glass for the backsplash in 2023. At the same time, we’ll be seeing a lot of textured stone designs too for kitchen countertops in 2023. Tasneem recommends slabs matching the countertop for the backsplash to make the space look elegant and big.
Take this marble kitchen countertop design, for example. The same white marble slab is used for the backsplash as well, which gives it a very sophisticated and premium look. The striking contrast it creates against the teal blue cabinets makes a bold style statement. We are all in for these latest countertop and backsplash trends as they are giving Indian kitchens an opulent yet timeless look.
Crockery And Bar Units Are Trending In Cupboard Designs
Post-COVID, at-home entertainment has become very popular. People are spending as much time with their friends at home as in restaurants or cafes. So, furniture like crockery units and bar cabinets will gain popularity in 2023, notes Jessica.
These multi-functional cupboard designs offer extra storage and display space while at the same time enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the kitchen. We love this trending modular kitchen design in an open layout with a stylish crockery unit. Its clear glass doors and backlit shelves bring out the beauty of your expensive crockery.
Duco Finish Is An Upcoming Kitchen Trend That You Must Try
Give your kitchen a high-quality appeal without emptying your wallet with Duco finish cabinets. Not only is it long-lasting but also very attractive. Tasneem suggests mixing Duco finish cabinets with printed surfaces for a lively kitchen.
For those who want a modern look to complement their home interiors, Jessica suggests opting for natural tones like champagne and earthy browns. She shares that all earthy elements will be trending in kitchen design trends in 2023 — stone, cement, and light wood finishes. Check out this champagne and white kitchen with a foldable space-saving breakfast table. The Duco finish gives the cabinets a classic look that is evergreen and will always look chic.
A Mix Of Bright And Light Tones Will Be The Trending Kitchen Colours
It’s time to let go of dull shades and have some fun with bright colours! Hues of blue and green are set to rule the kitchen colour charts in 2023. Mixing vibrant shades like yellow, blue, green, and pink with light wood laminates will ensure you have the most trendy kitchen design.
Tasneem predicts kitchens in 2023 to be colourful with a balance of subtle countertops and dados. At the same time, she is all in the favor of mixing white with pastel colours for a soothing vibe. Check out this pastel blue and white kitchen design that is pleasing to the eye and comes with lots of space-saving features like a spice pull-out and a skirting drawer.
Matte Black Is Trending In Kitchen Cabinet Colors
Our top designers feel all-white kitchens are evergreen and will never go out of style. But once you go black, it’s impossible to go back! For those who love a dash of boldness in their home interiors, Jessica recommends matte black kitchen cabinets with brass hardware.
This open kitchen in matte black is a treat for sore eyes! The classic pairing of black and white is an assured winner, with the cabinet handles adding just the right dose of glamour. We love how the textured backsplash brings character to this kitchen space without taking away the beauty of black.
Parallel Kitchen Still Remains The Most Popular Kitchen Layout In Indian Homes
With space being a major issue in urban Indian homes, parallel kitchen layouts offer high convenience in less space. Not to forget that it doubles the countertop and the storage space. For instance, this bright red parallel kitchen design promises ease of navigation and makes cooking in a small space efficient.
For another way to make your compact kitchen look more spacious, Tasneem recommends a semi-closed kitchen concept. Jessica is in total agreement with Tasneem’s recommendation and says kitchens in 2023 will feature a sliding partition. This partition can be slid so the kitchen opens to a larger space when required and pulled back when you want more privacy. The material for this partition can be see-through or engraved for aesthetic appeal.
