2013 brought colour back into our lives as the neutral gloss of white faded from our kitchen’s and home’s. Relaxed, country-style kitchen units were splashed with oranges, reds, lemon and limes.

We saw a great deal of movable units last year, with people choosing autonomy and space over fixed furniture.

2. ADDED STORAGE




2013 was heavily dictated by budget, and people became creative with ways of renovating without spending much money. It was more favourable for kitchens to have new doors, surfaces and worktops on old units than to replace the entire lot and this change allowed a fresh mixed feel to enter the home.

3. BUDGET




Accessories in the kitchen took a huge leap in sales in 2013 with wooden accessories appearing to be the favourite. Eco-friendly appliances also appeared to be important here. Botany entered the kitchen with many homes featuring plants, hanging baskets and miniature trees.

4. ACCESSORISING




This was achieved through the use of stained wood and paint, a blend of different materials such as granite and woodwork and the contrast of dark floorboards and light worktop units.

5. COMBINATIONS




Sleek, streamlined kitchens became popular in 2013, especially in regards to kitchen units. This look created fluidity and the illusion of space as kitchen appliances such as washing machines, microwaves, ovens and hobs becoming integrated into the units.

6. STREAMLINING




2013 brought us open shelving, bringing kitchenware into part of the overall design. We displayed our glasses, pots, pans and cutlery happily and some even went as far as to colour coordinate these pieces to bring them together with the entire tone of the kitchen.

7. SHOWING OFF KITCHENWARE




The difference last year was in the colour, instead of letting splashbacks sink into the background we brought them forward with bright and clear primary colours as well as some eye catching designs.

8. SPLASHBACKS HIT BACK




Kitchens became ‘command base’s’ in 2013. We had an area for everything, from tech stations for cooking and baking to island units that brought the whole family into the room. This style is very on-trend, fluid and ergonomic.

9. DESIGNATING AREAS




We saw wall stickers and murals crept into the kitchen in 2013. Adding an extra splash of colour with an image was trendy, as was throwing a dash of personality with bold text. This theme was especially good for large open-plan kitchens.

10. KITCHEN WALL MURALS
