Renovating a kitchen or bathroom is an expensive undertaking and homeowners want the end result to last. The simple shaker-style cabinet door has been the style of choice for several years and shows no sign of changing. It’s a very versatile design that is easy to live with and works well with almost every decorating style.

Current kitchen trends have seen the shaker-style door used in new ways with colour. It’s not unusual to see a two-tone or three-tone kitchen. Medium to light wood-tone cabinetry is also a popular trend and adds warmth to the space. In kitchens, wood-tone cabinets are often used as a feature and not in the entire kitchen.

Plumbing fixtures and lighting are the jewellery of the kitchen and bathroom and continue to reflect a simpler style. Mixing metal finishes was once a design no-no, but has now become a common style choice. The key is to have one main metal finish and complement it with perhaps another from a different colour family.

Open shelving as a decorative feature is a great way to display items but is not a practical replacement for upper cabinets. The functionality of the kitchen and bathroom is a very important consideration. Whether the space is small or large, smart planning can utilize the entire space with innovative technologies and clever storage solutions.
