A message from our Corporate Plus Partner, Caesarstone.
In the space of a year there have been a lot of changes in the world of kitchen design – the banning of engineered stone (one of the most popular surfaces for benchtops); a laser-focus on sustainability; and a distinct move away from sleek, all-white or beige kitchens.
Colour, texture and character have all moved from ‘bit players’ into the main arena.
Colour can take the form of saturated hues on cabinetry or the inclusion of bold artworks; texture comes to the fore in tiles and burnished metallic tapware and handles; while character can be found in architectural detail, or introduced via innovative renovations such as the exposed barrel vaulted ceiling in the kitchen below.
Perhaps most importantly are the changes taking place in benchtop surfaces, with the banning of engineered stone defying initial fears and leading to a greater choice in safe, sustainable surfaces for both consumers and designers. Crystalline silica-free surfaces have taken the place of engineered stone, with leading brand Caesarstone releasing a tranche of Mineral surfaces over the past 12 months. New arrivals include some of its much-loved textured concrete and marble effects, seen in the kitchens pictured.
