2023 Kitchen Trends: 6 Designs to Get You Inspired

If you are thinking of renovating your kitchen in 2023 or just moving into a brand new home with a great, modern kitchen already installed, you picked a great year. There are so many new trends to enjoy that can make your kitchen seem practical, effortless, and like the true heart of the home that it is. Take a look through these stylish trends with us.

1. Longer Kitchen Island

You might be working from home or educating your kids from home, and that means you need more space on your kitchen island. So, longer kitchen islands, with more comfortable and permanent seating are on-trend. We suggest that you splurge on a quality material that will resist scratching and staining, as the island will also be seeing more use.

2. Colourful Cabinets

It’s true that white still visually dominates the kitchen space, but there is no need to have every surface white. In fact, the latest trend is to break up white countertops and white backsplashes with kitchen cabinets that have intense colour. We’ve seen peacock blues, plum purples and other intense colours. Be creative and boldly choose your favourite shades.

3. New Details

For so long, modern kitchens without any personality have dominated. We love minimalism as much as the next person, but sometimes those spaces can feel a little bland. This year, add new, small details that create personality in the space. Some possibilities include:

Wallpaper on portions of the kitchen wall
Brass and other bold materials for kitchen fixtures
Small portions of tile, especially as a line through otherwise plain backsplashes

4. Vinyl Flooring

Speaking of adding interest to your kitchen, a vinyl floor might be an excellent option to add colour, texture, and still keep the space practical. Many people do end up investing in quality hardwood for the kitchen, but the room does generate moisture. Vinyl can be a more durable option and it gives you the option to add colour and texture that wood just can’t add.

5. Dedicated Nooks

Designs have previously focused on the work triangle, or the connection between the stove, sink and fridge. While that is a useful concept, more kitchen designers are including dedicated nooks where your favourite niche kitchen activities can take place. Whether you like to grind your own coffee, prep smoothies, or need a spot for family organization, a specialized nook is a smart addition to a kitchen space.

6. Mixed Materials

In 2023 more than ever, designers are including three or more materials to add contrast in finish, texture and colour. Play with different woods, stones, bricks and metals to come up with combinations that work with your personal style. Look for unusual options like quartz, oxidized metals and stainless steel, to pair with the more traditional favourites you prefer.
