Ideas for kitchen decoration: 6 style and design ideas

When it comes to interior design, the kitchen is one of those spaces in a home where design and functionality have to best complement each other. Regardless of the shape, size or style chosen, your kitchen gives you the perfect opportunity to maximise all available space. Decorating your kitchen involves a combination of multiple factors, and the choice of fittings and colours, as well as the blend of materials and light sources are all fundamental.

At Consentino, we are going to list a few key factors to consider if you want to create the best kitchen design to meet your style, needs, and space.

Open spaces

Kitchens are becoming increasingly spacious, multifunctional, and versatile, which is why it is essential that they are also open and flexible spaces where we can eat, work, and even relax. The latest trends in kitchen design are all about combining our kitchens and lounge space, creating an all-purpose and dynamic area.

Neutral tones

Kitchen decoration is edging more towards neutral styles in order to remain timeless and withstand passing trends. With pastel, neutral, and natural tones, you can create a kitchen decor that will always be relevant.

Bring in nature

Bring nature into your home and into your kitchen decor: natural raw materials, vegetables, or materials that mimic marble, stone, or even wood. Dekton’s Wild Collection or the Natural Collection designs offer the perfect option for a more naturally themed design.

No tiles

Tiles were a characteristic component of kitchen design for years but they now seem to be a thing of the past. Contemporary kitchen decoration is now more focussed on textures that can also be found in our lounges and other areas of our homes to help create a more sought-after general and open space. 

No edge trim

For years, edge trims have been a key component used to combine worktops with the wall. However, current kitchen design is increasingly opting for smooth walls and tiles, where no edge trims are required. Little by little this characteristic protective feature is disappearing in place of a cleaner, more attractive and more functional worktop.

Functional sinks

When designing a kitchen, the choice of sink is usually one of the last decisions to be made (mistakenly). However, kitchen sinks have a huge role to play in this space as it is effectively the most used area of a kitchen. There are a wide range of kitchen sinks available and at Cosentino we will help you to choose the one best suited to your kitchen’s decor.

Decorating kitchens with islands

As you can see, when it comes to choosing a contemporary design for your kitchen, you just need to focus on a few basic concepts that we have listed above. Once a decision has been made, it is time to get to work on the details of this space, based on your own style and decor tastes.
