The recent international design trade fairs, EuroCucina and Salone del Mobile, held in April in Milan, Italy, served as vibrant showcases of creativity and diversity in living spaces.
The world leading kitchen and furniture manufacturers presented a dazzling array of innovative solutions with trends emerging from these events offer a glimpse into the present and future of consumer kitchens, a fusion of global influences and forward-thinking design concepts.
- Colours – the resurgence of pastels and retro aesthetics is evident in both kitchen and furniture colour schemes and designs.
- Surfaces – with its high-quality glossy surface, marble turns any piece of furniture into an eye-catcher and brings elegance and naturalness into any living space.
- Light – light in furniture and kitchens plays a role in emotionalization and is essential for high-quality design
- Design in Curves – we often encounter contrasting elements in the design of kitchens and furniture: straight lines meet round shapes, open and closed elements, deliberate breaks in lines, cleverly concealed storage spaces and a skillful combination of shelves and closed elements.
- Alfresco Kitchens – High quality outdoor kitchens and furniture allow you to enjoy the outdoors all year round.
- Smart homes – our homes are becoming increasingly digital and smart. The topic of AI has arrived in almost all electrical appliances. In the oven, for example, AI uses a camera to recognise the dishes placed in the oven and selects the appropriate program. In the washing machine, AI adapts the washing program to the textiles and adjusts the water and detergent requirements. The range is growing: intuitive touch displays, voice and app control are becoming a matter of course. Very innovative: when you knock on the fridge door, it becomes transparent and offers a view inside.
- Statement Fridges – Large fridges are not only practical, they also make a powerful impression. Some look pompous and almost majestic. More width offers more space inside for food. At the same time, the automatic opening of fridge doors is very popular.
Hettich Australia’s products are at the forefront of this movement, offering innovative solutions and kitchen cabinet drawer ideas that cater to these emerging preferences, helping homeowners create spaces that are not only highly functional but also beautifully customised to their unique tastes and needs.
