Kitchen Design Trends | Modern & Timeless Styles

Designing a new kitchen can feel overwhelming. At Renovogue, Danni believes the key to a successful kitchen design starts with understanding your needs, vision and budget. Your kitchen should be functional, suit your family's lifestyle, stand the test of time and be visually stunning.

Not one style suits every client, which is why it's important to work with a professional kitchen designer who can tailor the design to your specific space and preferences.

The Modern Kitchen Look

The modern kitchen is open, functional and free from unnecessary decoration. This clean, minimal and understated style is sophisticated with an abundance of hidden storage.

Key features of modern kitchens:

  • Stone benchtops and splashbacks — Applying Caesarstone or similar to both the island bench and splashback creates a streamlined, classy and timeless look

  • Contrasting finishes — Matt dark floors paired with glossy white cabinetry make a kitchen feel spacious and appealing

  • Handleless cabinetry — Clean lines with no visible hardware

  • Integrated appliances — A seamless, uncluttered appearance

Industrial Style Kitchens

For those who prefer an edgier look, the industrial style kitchen offers a modern alternative.

Features of industrial kitchens:

  • Stainless steel benchtops — Easy to maintain, extremely hygienic and resistant to fingermarks

  • Exposed elements — Raw materials and metal finishes

  • Open shelving — Display your favourite items

  • Bold lighting — Statement pendants and task lighting

The Importance of Lighting

Lighting is crucial in any kitchen. If your space doesn't receive enough natural light, consider installing a skylight — it can create a real wow factor and transform the feel of the room.

Lighting tips:

  • Task lighting — Under-cabinet lights for food preparation

  • Ambient lighting — Overhead lights for general illumination

  • Feature lighting — Pendants over islands or dining areas

  • Natural light — Maximise windows and consider skylights
