June’s Kitchen Picks

Now Spring is in full swing, we thought we’d share some fresh inspiration. Here are four European kitchen designs we’re currently loving and why.

1. The Affordably Sleek
Line N from Nobilia

Being one of the world’s largest kitchen manufacturers makes Nobilia naturally competitive on price. It’s handleless Line N is a firm favorite because it caters to anyone looking for a clean, modern kitchen. From colors to finishes to cabinet configuration, it’s a truly customizable line.

2. The Smart, Self-Contained K6 from Boffi

Designed by Norbert Wangen, this tidy island converts into a working kitchen and entertaining space in seconds. With a sink, a cooktop, base cabinets and prep station, the K6 is a truly stylish, ergonomic design.

3. The Perfectly Paneled Sebastian Cox from Devol

The Sebastian Cox kitchen epitomizes countryside craft-chic. We mishmash of paneled frameless doors and frame-inset doors work perfectly together. And we love how the cross-cut fronts create a tastefully worn aesthetic that looks perfectly lived in.

4. Pure Indulgence
from SieMatic

This design from SieMatic uses bright, crisp aluminum up against vivid oak wood to create a beautifully calming kitchen vibe. And with touch-to-open handleless cabinets and tall units in continuous wood veneer it’s sophisticated through and through.

2021 Kitchen Trends

If the kitchen wasn’t already the heart and hub of most homes, it is now due to COVID-19 turning how we live, work and play on its head. As we move further into 2021, people are looking to redefine the role of their kitchen and how they experience it.

So here are our top five kitchen trends for 2021.

1. The Pantry is Back

With most meals now taking place at home, kitchen storage has never been more essential. And there’s no storage solution as charming and useful as the pantry. Whether you prefer modern, traditional or a blend of both, the return of the pantry means you can now find your ideal style without having to compromise on form or function. Visit Devol to learn more about this freestanding beauty.

2. Personality Meets Utility

Functionality is crucial in the kitchen, which is why kitchens often lack highly expressive styles. But why shouldn’t the kitchen feel as distinct as other rooms in the home? Without compromising on utility, we’re expecting to see people imbue more personality into their kitchens - in an effort to make them more enjoyable spaces.

3. Ocean Color Scene

Maybe it’s the need for nature or perhaps it’s simply the color of 2021, either way, we’re seeing a resurgence in aquatic hues. From farmhouse cabinetry in dusty blue to sleek modern islands in sea foam green, this fresh spectrum is set to breathe new life into many kitchens.

4. That Natural Feeling

Being stuck indoors has shone a light on the importance of spending time in the great outdoors. The need to feel connected to nature is likely to increase the use of marble and other naturally tactile materials.

5. Fancy Fixtures & Fittings

You don’t have to undergo a full renovation to feel like you’ve got a new kitchen. Simply switch out your sink, faucet, tiles or handles to create a much needed sense of change. If you’re looking for bling, check out Ruvati’s gold Terraza stainless steel sink.
