Interiors icon Christopher Peacock shares his tasteful take on the trends to watch this season.
“Our clients love the idea of a more open-planned kitchen. [Open shelving] is a great place to display items such as cookbooks, and for easy access to day-to-day chinaware and coffee mugs, etc. With integrated lighting, it can really add to the overall feel of the space.”
“Dark colors and mixed materials are still really popular, and we are seeing clients wanting some daring colors instead of the safe whites, cream and gray tones.”
“We are integrating metalwork onto drawers and doors as well as shelving, and also mixing metals, which adds a sophistication to the room.”
“Like metalwork, we are also using some really interesting leathers and materials to add an upholstered element, which makes it less clinical and more decorated. There are so many wonderful leather textures and colors to access, so you can really create an individual look.”
“Smart appliances are great, and these days, it’s so easy to become a gourmet chef by the push of a button.”
