The kitchen renovation trends we’re loving this season

The change in seasons typically means a changing of the guard for trends, too. And from calming tones to curves and tech, we’re loving the spring kitchen design trends the new season has in store.

Here are six ideas to help spruce up your kitchen’s look this spring.

Earthy tones

There seems to be an essence of calm about the design trends of 2022, including the colour palate.

And with the home now even more of a haven thanks to the flexibility of many work arrangements, it’s no wonder these trends are creeping into the kitchen too.

From forest green cupboards to muted paint colours, creating a sense of relaxation (even in one of the busiest rooms in your house) is something we’re a big fan .

NEFF’s range of graphite grey appliances pair perfectly with earthy colour palette and are careful not to draw away from the aesthetic.

Curves

If you’re looking to add a bit of shape to a traditionally linear space, like your kitchen, curved finishes and fixtures are a great way to do so. Consider adding a rounded-edge benchtop and funky stools. Or design a splashback with circular tiles or a curved panel. A rounded spout sink tap is also an easy way to bring shapes into your cooking space without redesigning the whole space.

Technology

Introducing smart appliances into your kitchen is not only trendy, but a way to make mealtime more efficient. And with everyday life so busy, why wouldn’t you?

Appliances like our WIFI-enabled Home Connect oven and NEFF built-in coffee machine can be controlled via WIFI from a smartphone, meaning you can wake up and turn them on at the touch of a button. Or use voice cues via a Google or Alexa device to give them instructions.

Other functions like the MeatProbe temperature gauge eliminate the guesswork when cooking up a Sunday roast – simply plug in the probe, set your temperature and when your meat is cooked, the oven will automatically turn off.

Bring plant life inside

Decorating your kitchen with greenery in the form of plants like succulents or herbs is a great way to soften the look of your space, as well as add colour. Indoor plants are super hardy and versatile and can be positioned on a bench or hung from the cupboard or ceiling. If you love using fresh herbs but don’t have the outdoor space for an herb garden, consider creating a vertical one indoors on a wall. You can also play to your personal style with the colour, pattern and size of the pots you house your plants in, too.

Sleek appliances

There’s something very sleek about built-in appliances – they make your kitchen look modern, as well as keeping it neat and tidy. And their rise to power is something we’re fully on board with. Appliances like NEFF’s built-in microwave not only look great. but save bench and internal cupboard space by recessing into cabinetry walls.

Extra functions

They’re a little bit about fun and a lot about function, but appliances or installations that do more than the average are getting a big tick this season. Whether you’re after pop-up power points or sleek appliances with extra functions, innovation in the kitchen is becoming increasingly popular.

NEFF’s Slide&Hide® oven range, which celebrates 20 years this year, is the perfect example of how an extra bit of functionality (especially one you can hide out of the way) can make cooking easier. Simply open the oven door and slide it under the oven cavity – and save yourself from running into the hot door ever again.
