KITCHEN DESIGN IDEAS

Thanks to Australia love for open-plan homes, cooking and entertaining, the kitchen has become the new heart of the home. Modern kitchen designs need to accommodate our changing needs of the space. It needs to be a functional kitchen space, it needs to be aesthetically pleasing, it needs to encourage conversation and cater to guests. Modern kitchen design is all about transforming your contemporary kitchen ideas into reality.

According the Kitchen Trends Study, of the 60 per cent of homeowners who renovated the layout of their kitchen this year, the top new kitchen styles were contemporary kitchen design (29 per cent) and modern kitchen design (26 per cent). The top updated elements of a modern kitchen design were bench tops at 94 per cent, cabinets at 90 per cent and taps and other plumbing fixtures at 88 per cent of renovators. Of those who updated their bench tops, engineered quartz was most popular and the most dominant colour was white. Of those who renovated their kitchens, the Houzz report identified that 59 per cent changed the layout to make it more open to the indoors, and 40 per cent made it more open to the outdoors.
