Stone can be an investment –but it will last as long as your kitchen does, longer in fact and brings such a lovely farmhouse feel to the space. There are loads of colors and tones to choose from too, from a dark grey to something like this warm beige. You can lay them how you like too, make more a feature of them by laying different sized slabs or keeping it simple with a square pattern. Well we have plenty over in our small kitchen gallery, but our top tip would be to keep things light and airy.
- Introduce warm colors, use soft textures, and consider adding a designated seating area with comfortable furniture to create a cozy ambiance in a large kitchen.
- Gourmet kitchens feature high-end appliances, ample counter space, and multiple work zones.
- See our recent posts showcasing ten colourful kitchen interiors, thirty bathrooms designed by architects and seven bedrooms with statement walls.
- Kitchens with some color contrast or textural contrast look much more modern and have greater character than a simple all white monotone kitchen.
- In this galley kitchen in Paris by Hugo Toro, the counters, floor, and walls are clad in an eye-catching Brèche de Médicis marble.
Industrial, sleek, but still able to illustrate intrigue, pendant lighting will continue to be prevalent in kitchen design going into 2023. Whether it be a light and bright kitchen, a refurbished historical space, these are versatile and work in a number of different styles. Dark timber floors, a green-hued grey wall and kitchen cabinets that put an angular twist on the usually soft country-style timber work make this modern country kitchen desirable. The blonde timber works as both a light accent colour and a source of texture, while the open shelving and island are practical. It can be easy to get caught up in how your kitchen will look but at the end of the day you have to love using it every day.

‘Elegant, tactile and organic, marble is making a comeback as the most popular choice for splashbacks and work surfaces. The texture of the wood is really clear too thanks to all the natural catching on the wood – lovely lovely stuff! Plus the simple, un fussy design works perfectly with the galley shape in this smaller space. For the quintessentially Scandi style kitchen, look no further than this beauty from Ikea. It’s part of the METOD system which is really flexible and we love how it is styled with the LISABO/RÖNNINGE table and chairs with their ash veneer/birch finish and the KNIXHULT bamboo pendant.
