Minimalist, square looks and handle-free drawers represent some of the latest trends in kitchen units and furniture. Kitchen tables are also becoming a more permanent fixture, with a trend toward built-in dining space along kitchen counters. This allows the kitchen to function as a multi-use space for preparing food, eating and entertaining. Custom-made dining tables in solid timber are also fashionable for people who seek a dining area with a difference. Kitchen units are given a streamlined look by ditching handles in favor of finger-slots, floating cabinets off the floor and getting rid of overhangs on kitchen benches. Color-wise, dark wood grains are asserting a popular position.
Kitchen furniture trends have followed changes in modern family living; balancing minimalist style is the trend towards bringing dining furniture into the kitchen. People who have big enough homes often have separate dining areas, but with open-plan living and budgeting in mind, most people are eating in or adjacent to the kitchen.
Butler kitchens, where pantry, sink and preparation area are housed in a different room, are another up-and-coming trend in kitchen design and furniture. The concept satisfies minimalism in kitchen design by keeping the ‘messy stuff’ out of the kitchen. Next time you go to a friend’s house for dinner and there are no pots or pans in sight, you may be tempted to peep behind the pivot door.
