Are you ready to renovate your kitchen and realise its full potential? The experts have spoken, and this year’s kitchen renovation trends are all about bold colours, open-concept layouts, and elegant countertop options.

In this guide, we’ve highlighted five of the most popular trends to help you select the best options for your kitchen, so let’s dive in!

 

Five kitchen renovation trends from 2022

 

From bright hues to rustic design elements, this year’s kitchen renovation trends have completely deviated from the modern white kitchen. However, the best part about trends is that each one presents the chance for personalisation.

Not a fan of bold colours? Try a trending shade of green on cabinets or kitchen countertops.

Are wooden butcher blocks too rustic? Go for a classier option like white marble or granite.

Not quite ready to let go of the all-white kitchen? Implement small pops of colour with backsplashes, appliances, and décor.

So, with personalisation in mind, if you’re looking for inspiring kitchen renovation ideas, look no further than these five easily achievable options:

 

 

Marble

 

Elegant, timeless, and strikingly modern, marble remains a preferred choice for kitchen renovations.

As a highly versatile material, marble can be applied on accent walls, backsplashes, countertops, and even kitchen containers.

Highly durable and easy to maintain, you cannot go wrong by implementing marble in your kitchen space.

 

Large islands – kitchen renovation darlings

 

The kitchen island is where everything happens – dinner, homework, socialising, baking, catching up after a long day!

A large, multi-purpose island is the perfect place for all this to happen and is essential to the flow of your new kitchen.

There is also the option to integrate kitchen appliances to help you create space in other areas of your worktop.

 

 

Monochromatic spaces

 

Monochromatic kitchens are very effective at helping to form a cohesive and unified look for your kitchen.

An all-white kitchen, for example, would be fantastic at making use of bright, natural light.

Combined with dark-stained floors or deep-coloured countertops, the contrast of two monochromatic shades is complimentary yet strikingly different.

 

Unified backsplashes and countertops

 

Another rising kitchen renovation trend involves sticking to matching backsplashes and countertops.

Rather than having multiple finishes, a more unified look creates a clean, contemporary look in your cooking space.

Sightlines flow seamlessly from one surface to the other for a sophisticated yet statement-making appearance.

 

 

Ceiling kitchen backsplashes and less grout

 

Kitchen backsplashes are one of the most fun and personal elements to choose from when renovating your kitchen.

From colourful tiles to natural stones, backsplashes add visual interest and sophistication to an otherwise all-white kitchen, and there are a variety of options you can choose from.

For example, running a backsplash all the way up to the ceiling has become a popular choice in 2022. Doing this grants a tall focal point to your kitchen and is particularly effective when a white backsplash is run high in a dark kitchen, or vice versa!

Many modern backsplashes also come with a thinner, less visible grout in between each tile, allowing for a cleaner, thinner appearance.
