Rhys Armstrong from Envision Kitchens in Berkeley Vale stands out as a leading expert when discussing kitchens. Rhys and the Envision Kitchens team provide comprehensive joinery services, including new kitchen installations, renovations, alfresco/outdoor kitchens, custom office desks and workstations, wardrobes, entertainment units, and various other custom joinery projects. With such extensive experience, Rhys is undoubtedly a kitchen and joinery design specialist.

Rhys emphasises that high-use areas in your home, such as the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, or wardrobe, require thoughtful design considerations that balance functionality, aesthetics, and the space available.

The kitchen, often considered the heart of the home, has taken on even greater significance in the post-COVID era. There's a shift towards designing homes for our lifestyles, with kitchens evolving into calm, welcoming spaces that facilitate not only cooking but also laughter, commiseration, Zoom calls, team meetings, family meals, birthdays, tears, coffee breaks, meal prep, wine toasts, entertaining, homework, and much more.

It's crucial to tailor your kitchen design to fit your lifestyle, as no universal solution fits everyone's needs, bringing us to the first kitchen design trend of the year!

The Rise of Texture and Colour

Envision Kitchens predicts moving away from classic white kitchens towards a variety of cabinet colours and textures. This trend is supported by our sister company Broadworth Modular's use of a diverse range of cabinetry, from Laminex Calm Oak shelving to Laminex Winter Sky cabinets. Rhys points out the increasing popularity of earthy tones, such as soft greens, warm terracottas, and serene blues, creating a tranquil atmosphere and connecting with nature.

Luxurious Marble Veined Backsplashes

The Calacatta Oro’s exquisite and varied pattern mimics a natural stone. The organic pattern and natural colours ripple through the design creating a contemporary and sophisticated finish. Calacatta Oro comes in both a matt and polished finish. This can be found at Tile Warehouse.

The timeless appeal of marble-veined backsplashes continues to dominate, reflecting elegant sophistication from classic white marble with dark veining to striking black marble options. Rhy's expert tip is to explore the potential of soft-coloured textured tiles, which add warmth and a unique flair to any kitchen.

Innovative Tile Shapes and Textures

As 2024 welcomes organic shapes and handmade, soft-edged kitchen tiles. Tile Warehouse in Newcastle says there is a shift from classic square and subway tiles to zellige and organic-shaped tiles signifies a preference for kitchens with distinctive personality and depth. The design philosophy of Envision Kitchens, which prioritises personal expression and style, aligns seamlessly with this trend!

The Integration of Technology and Sustainability

The incorporation of smart technology and sustainable design principles is gaining momentum in kitchen renovations. Steve from Broadworth Modular says more and more home builders are investing in smart appliances and IoT-enabled devices, such as voice-controlled faucets, touchscreen refrigerators, and automated cooking equipment. The emphasis is on efficiency, convenience, and reducing the environmental footprint.
