Organic, clean, warm, open, functional and, above all, with all the utilities and setting of a work area that is both social. These are the six elements basically that 2019 brought for kitchen design and decoration, which in the last decade ceased to be an isolated space that was destined only to cook and locate an auxiliary dining room to ingest daily food in family union.
The Clean Glass Stove cooktops provide the kitchens with a sleek design and are typically easier to clean than the gas-burning stoves or electric coils with drip pans
1. Total Integration
The design and decoration of the kitchen 2018 are more versatile and flexible. They incorporate spaces in such a way that one can work with efficient movements so as not to waste time and incorporates a bar or a central island that is used as a table, either as a work table, study and social interaction zone.
2. Marble for a Linear and Clean Finish
This year’s trend is to create a space that looks spacious and clean with a rather linear design and the use of organic materials, such as marble and wood, for decoration.
Marble is what defines the kitchen of 2018. Its slabs are being used on the countertops of the central island and inns, to give the visual illusion of greater breadth; as also in the “backsplash” and the walls, but in the form of tiles that can be square, rectangular, round, triangular or hexagonal, according to the decoration.
“Marble is a very clean stone that gives the decoration structure and a very organic atmosphere”. “And the good thing is that now some companies are creating a material that looks like this, but that is much more resistant, less porous and very easy to maintain.” The use of marble in 2019 is such that even the culinary and decorative accessories for the kitchen were made in this material.
3. With Neutral Colors
The 2018 kitchen is defined by furniture and cabinets in white or gray, or made of wood.
“These colors are being used because, like marble, they give breadth and clearly outline the architectural design of the kitchen,” explains the interior designer, who has several awards and recognitions for his creations.
Wood, in its most organic state, is also being used a lot this year.
“The tendency is to combine it with a black marble that has golden or beige streaks that match the tone of the wood being used” It is also being used as an accent, to create a wall with the “chic Wood” style or a “butcher’s table”, integrated into the assigned area to chop the food to be cooked. And following the main concept of the breadth, the counter tops of the central island and the inns can be made of wood (in the style of the butcher’s table) or in particular that is treated with the desired hue.
4. Good Lighting
As the goal is to create a visually wide space, lighting plays an important role in the design.
“The modern kitchen has LED lights, direct and indirect, which are more efficient in brightness and energy consumption and come today with a warm luminosity,” details the design professional. “And it also combines one [but of great dimension], two or three hanging lamps on the central island, if one has one.”
5. Silver and Gold Accents
As it has been used in the decoration of a few years ago, household appliances, dishwashers and kitchen accessories are used in stainless steel or in a coppery hue, as well as in the so-called “rose gold”, which is very attached year.
6. Open shelves
Although many prefer cabinets with wooden doors, the current trend is to use those with glass or glass door designs or simply create open shelves, in the style of industrial kitchens, made with good wood.
“The current idea is to show the dishes and other kitchen utensils, which come in fun designs and give mobility to the place”.
7. An Extractor Hood in Sight or Not
Among the decorative trends of this year for the kitchen is the use of a hood with a very linear and light design, either in glass, stainless steel or aluminum.
“This is used in large kitchens, but the current trend is simply not to be used because technological and design advances have created the ‘down draft ventilation’ system, which is like a type of vacuum cleaner that is placed in the same place of the stove of mount [range top] so that it ale the smoke and the smell of the foods underneath ”, details the professional of the design.
