Home design specialists have claimed that kitchen style is turning increasingly towards a chic and uncluttered metropolitan look.The Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association (KBSA) claimed that stainless steel was the material of the day, with homeowners warming to its slick look and its ability to make a space feel larger.Key elements to the new metropolitan kitchen were identified as plain door styles, said to account for 80 per cent of KBSA retailers door sales, as well as flat finish paint jobs in place of broken, dragging and rag-rolling effects.Cabinets in the new kitchen were claimed to be predominantly flat-fronted, with simple stainless steel handles enhancing the minimalistic and slick effect, but sinks can also play a key role in asserting a kitchens style.Top sink manufacturer Franke offers many stainless steel models that will give kitchens a spacious feel, as well as providing ample space themselves for washing up the EUN 611 96 Propack offers a generous 420mm x 430mm x 180mm bowl size, as well a reversible drainer format.The KBSA claimed that the new metropolitan no-fuss kitchen appealed particularly to young professionals, who sought modern styling and order in their kitchens.
