KITCHEN TRENDS 2022
1. BACK-TO-NATURE COLOUR SCHEMES
2022's kitchens will give a nod to Mother Earth, and not just through design and decor ideas.

The popularity of sage green will be extremely admirable too.
2. KITCHEN ZONING

Having areas for dedicated purposes maintains the seamless sense of flow that we all love in open-plan designs. Creating multi-functional 'zones' in your kitchen is a concept that everyone can benefit from.
3. SHADES OF BLUE
The last few years have seen rich shades of blue—ranging from indigo and royal to navy and jewel—become more and more popular. the colour can be very easy to work with and 2022 will continue to see beautiful deep blues become even more prominent, working their way into the hearts of our homes via cabinetry, accessories, and paint colors. Fittings such as antique-style golds and coppers will make for a stylish finish to any kitchen in 2022 and dark blue provides the perfect backdrop if you have metallic accents. This is a trend for everyone, whether you're wanting a contemporary or traditional kitchen.
4. MONOCHROME AND TWO-TONE DESIGN
2022 will see a marked trend in monochrome and two-tone kitchens. Black-and-white is stepping back into the spotlight with everything from kitchen splashback ideas to cabinetry. Use splashes of color for added drama, the key is to not go too over-the-top with this look. Be selective with where and how you use it. As shown in the kitchen above, incorporating a statement piece of dark furniture in a kitchen with a white design is an effective way to make your kitchen pop.
5. PATTERNED TILES
Patterned tiles are tipped to be popular in 2022 having become a steady favorite in recent years. You can inject character into your home, purely by updating the flooring.
For homeowners who are confident with their design choices, colored patterned tiles span a spectrum of trend-led shades, including inky blues and blush pinks. For those new to experimenting with pattern tiles, monochrome designs offer a comfortable middle-ground.
6. INTEGRATED STORAGE
Some of the best kitchen trends for 2022 are practical, rather than design-led, and smart new kitchen storage ideas are set to be a big theme this year. Wasted space is wasted potential within modern kitchen design and clever storage solutions are great for anyone wanting to utilise every inch of space. Floating shelves highlighted with hidden LED spotlights will become big, and are perfect for pieces of sculpture and different home accessories.

Smart kitchens allow homeowners to set up and control their kitchens from their smartphones with a whole host of Wi-Fi enabled appliances and equipment. Try ambient LED lighting, integrated surround-sound AV systems or WiFi-controlled heating features.
8. VEINED MARBLE
Marble in the kitchen is nothing new, but vein-centric slabs of the stunning stone are about to hit the big-time this year.
