He said There is a lot of colour, materials and designs in the kitchen, depending on the look theyre going for. Kitchen decor has become a canvas for bolder decorating choices that suit your personality.Mr Smith added kitchens should be spacious, bright and enjoyable, but the big trend at the moment is for stylish storage, according to the article. Metal, frosted glass and veneer are in fashion when it comes to drawers, doors and racks, he said. Furthermore, accessories such as chopping boards and soap dispensers can add luxury to a kitchen. A Franke food board or a brushed steel Carron Phoenix soap dispenser installed next to a stylish kitchen sink could make your kitchen stand out.
