5 Kitchen Design Trends For 2022

The past few years have seen us spending more time in our homes than ever before, and the kitchen design trends of 2022 reflect this. At Pioneer Cabinets, we're seeing an increase in functional, free-flowing living spaces, featuring natural colours and subtle patterns. Read on for the top 5 kitchen design trends of 2022.

2022 has seen an increase in the rise of free-flowing shapes throughout the home, with curved kitchen islands providing a modernist aesthetic that contrasts with the industrial trends of previous years.
 
Choose marble countertops in neutral colours for a clean, sophisticated look, and add high stools for statement seating. Pair with layered lighting and you've got the perfect place to prepare your evening meal or enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Associated with nature, renewal and healthy living, the colour green is proven to bring a sense of peace and harmony into our lives. Introducing green elements into your kitchen design can help to create a calming space perfect for cooking, eating and sharing a drink with friends.
 
Make a statement with emerald green walls, or opt for a pistachio shade for a calming, neutral vibe. Accessorise with plenty of indoor plants - aloe vera, peace lilies and herbs are great options for kitchen spaces. Complete the look by updating your mugs and crockery with handmade pieces in earthy shades.

With more people than ever working from home, our kitchens have become multi-functional spaces used for much more than cooking. A broken living plan can create an open, airy space that can even boost our mental wellbeing.
 
Create a kitchen-dining area that can turn from a work-from-home office to a space to gather with friends and family. Break up the space with a long table in natural wood, or a statement sofa for guests to relax on whilst you prepare the evening meal.

More and more families are aspiring to a waste-free lifestyle, with the number of zero-waste stores across the UK increasing year on year. As a result, larder-style shelving is a key feature of 2022 kitchen design.
 
Stock up on large mason jars for your kitchen essentials and display them using natural wood shelving against a statement wall. If open shelving isn't your cup of tea, install a pantry cupboard with interior fittings for easy storage.

When it comes to kitchen design in 2022, dark wood is king. For rich colour and natural warmth, walnut cabinetry can't be beaten, whilst a mahogany dining table is the perfect statement piece.
 
Why not pair with gold accents and dining sets for a luxurious finish?
