8 Kitchen Design Trends of 2023 

Are you hoping to transform your kitchen this year?

If 2023 is the year of transformations and makeovers within your home, look no further! This guide from Trend Transformations Knutsford will give you all the kitchen design inspiration you will need to bring your dated kitchen into the modern day.

1 – Deep Kitchen Drawers

Are you tired of low kitchen cabinets, making it difficult for you to find the cooking utensils you need?

It seems this latest trend may answer all your prayers. Deep kitchen drawers are set to be one of the most popular trends for kitchen design this year, introducing a more practical storage solution.

Switching kitchen cabinets for deep kitchen drawers that sit low within your kitchen means you can store all your larger tools and accessories, like your big pots, pans, and serving trays, in a convenient place that is so accessible.

Plus, drawers are much easier to keep organized thanks to bespoke-fitting drawer organizers and liners.

2 – Adding a pop of color to your kitchen island

If you’re hoping to brighten your old and drab-looking kitchen this year, one trend you will certainly want to consider is painting your kitchen island in a bright pop of color.

Since the kitchen island is a focal point of a larger kitchen, brightening this up with a lick of paint is the perfect way to update your kitchen without breaking the bank.

Choose from popular shades like bright blue, green, yellow, and even pink!

3 – Natural earthy tones and wood

If you’re currently in the process of picking out a new paint color or materials for your kitchen renovation, think about introducing some natural earthy tones and wood materials.

These have become increasingly popular over the last few years, particularly during lockdown when people were working on their own DIY kitchen makeovers with little access to materials. Consider beige, creams, browns, and dark woods for an expensive yet understated look.

4 – Coffee Stations

A fun new element that we have seen become popular recently is the integration of bespoke coffee stations! For coffee lovers, this is the perfect addition to your kitchen. Plus, it doesn’t have to be a complex design or expensive.

Many homeowners are choosing to add additional cabinet space or shelving to create a home for their beloved coffee machines, with smaller details like jars for coffee beans, coffee pod storage, syrup pumps, and milk frothing areas.

5 – The return of the pantry

For those with a little more budget, the addition of a coffee station is being taken to a whole new level, thanks to the return of the kitchen pantry! The modern take on what was once a kitchen must-have.

Kitchen designers are opting to introduce large kitchen cabinet units with integrated shelving as the ideal storage solution for spices, dry goods, and snacks. This has fast become a popular solution for keeping busy family kitchens tidy and organized.

6 – Bold lighting choices

To brighten your kitchen and create a focal point, the statement ceiling light is one of the many lighting trends we are seeing emerge this year. Choose from a statement chandelier or an industrial lighting fixture, depending on your preferred choice of kitchen style.

7 – Blue and green kitchen colors

Touching on kitchen colors once more.

Blues and greens have really taken off within the kitchen design industry in recent years and are not leaving just yet.

Traditionally a bathroom color palette, blues, and greens have made a nice entry into kitchen designs, introducing a nice pop of color into what once may have been a very boring and dull-looking space.

These colors have been particularly popular in country-style kitchens, where shades such as sage green and muted blue complemented rustic woods and metals perfectly.

8 – Sustainable kitchen materials

As more and more of us look for ways to cut our personal carbon footprint and contribute to a greener society, sustainable kitchen materials are set to become increasingly popular this year.

The introduction of materials like recycled wood, metals, stones, and more will begin a movement towards a greater consideration of where kitchen designers are sourcing their materials.

While homeowners will be paying closer attention to the durability of such materials and the timeless look of their chosen designs.
