2016 Autumn Kitchen Trends

February 2016

The kitchen can often be the most daunting process in renovating or building your home. This autumn, refresh your space with a sleek and practical look.

To guide you in the right direction, the professional kitchen designers at The Good Guys have highlighted the key trends for when designing your kitchen this autumn.

Colour

• When it comes to choosing the right colour for your kitchen, the first decision is whether you want to go sleek and modern or cool and classic.

• If you’re looking to spice things up, the matt black trend is perfect for this. Matt black cabinetry is a must-have this autumn giving the ultimate sophisticated look. Pairing the ‘super-matt’ black cabinetry with their French-doored black fridges and range-hoods, The Good Guys can provide the whole look.

• On the classic side, white kitchens prove dominant in Australian homes. White Silestone benchtops are on trend this season, providing a hardwearing surface that is extremely versatile. These Silestone benchtops paired with white integrated fridges and sleek stainless-steel range-hoods will have the kitchen being the perfect place to entertain.

Textures

• Timber grains and textured splash backs are making a statement this season. By adding these bold statements, they bring an element of drama but also leave the space neutralized for accessorizing with top of the range appliances and kitchen tools The Good Guys have to offer.

• Timber grains are extremely popular as they bring warmth and add layers to your look. Timber grain cabinetry is both modern and highly durable, providing a long-lasting style easy to keep clean – which is ideal for homeowners who love to entertain.

• Tiled splashbacks are back and they are here to stay. A tiled splashback is both practical and striking, providing home owners with a time-poor lifestyle the edgy look with the easy-to-maintain durability.

Features

• These days’ people are wanting to showcase a clean, uncluttered modern space in their kitchens. To integrate the perfect features and bring the kitchen to life, there are a few new trends that can do just this.

• Feature handles for cabinetry is a big trend at the moment. Opting for black handles on white cabinetry or special copper handles on the new ‘super-matt’ black cabinetry, can bring your kitchen to life setting it apart from others.

• Adding timber to the kitchen can really spice it up. It offers a clean and timeless look that is both practical and functional. Adding timber under and island bench can bring your look up a notch - making the colour in the cabinetry stand out. You can also feature timber laminate which is hardwearing and economical.

• Benchtops are the key to a good kitchen. New to The Good Guys are the streamline 12mm Silestone benchtops which offer a range of different colours and styles. The 12 mm bench tops provide a shadow line effect which adds that extra sense of luxe to your kitchen. Opting for a marble effect paired with black cabinetry is the perfect way to achieve the modern and sleek look.

• A fridge is the centrepiece of the kitchen. It attracts a lot of attention, and with the range of fridges available at The Good Guys you’ll be well on your way to impressing your guests. Stand-out pieces like black two-door fridges and French-door styled white fridges with state of the art ice machines make the perfect statement piece. On the classic side, there is a vast range of large stainless steel fridges which provide space and style and most importantly practicality.
