Top Kitchen & Bathroom Trends for 2020

With the start of a new year we’ve compiled a list of design trends for the kitchen and bathroom in 2020. Whilst our designs are based on longevity and relevance for the years to come, its also nice to incorporate a few modern touches into our work.

See below for our design trends forecast for kitchens and bathrooms for the year 2020!

Kitchen Trends 2020 – Retreat Design

• Open plan, breakfast bars, study nooks
• Where possible adding a scullery into the kitchen design
• Integrated appliances, hidden behind beautiful cabinetry
• Seamless transition between kitchen and living area
• Cabinetry continued from kitchen through to TV and living areas
• Texture and depth of colour in material selections. It’s about being unique and inviting
• Marble, stones and quartz with lots of veining and colour. Introducing pops of colour such as purple, blue, dark green and red in the furniture
• Unique marbles and stones with lots of character (less of a cookie cutter style kitchen)
• Warm colours such as timber, copper and black and brown
• Timber highlights in the cabinetry to break up the ‘all white’ kitchen
• Stone continued from bench tops up splash back for continuity of design
• Integrated cabinetry lighting for mood and task lighting
• Display cabinets integrated into the kitchen cabinetry for possessions and glassware to be on display
• Large format porcelain bench tops
• The use of different and progressive new kitchen surfaces such as Fenix NTM® (opaque, anti-fingerprint, highly durable, matt finish) and the hard wearing Paperstone ® (created from recycled paper and a non-petroleum resin)
• Oxidised and metallic lacquer cabinetry and recycled woods (see Arrital)
• Mixing materials in the kitchen with timber and laminates etc
• Textured and coloured tiles used for splash backs such as handmade Zellige tiles and glazed tiles
• Interesting tile patterns for the splash back such as vertically stacked, offset and herringbone etc
• High quality, beautiful looking appliances with design finishes to complement the kitchen interior
• Unique tap ware in different finishes such as brass, copper, black etc
• Statement range hoods in different powder coat finishes to add interest

Bathroom Trends 2020 – Retreat Design

• Warm colours (for a cold space). Brown, warm woods etc
• Mid century modern style bathroom
• Spa like atmosphere, creating a sanctuary or retreat
• Lighting features in the shower. Chromotherapy. I.e. Invigorating lights for morning shower, peaceful subdued lighting for evening
• Freestanding tubs
• Large, expansive walk in showers
• Hotel like environment with integrated cabinetry lighting and music & wifi
• Statement marble, granite and quartz bench tops
• Statement tile selections such as Kit Kat (finger tiles), penny rounds, patterned tiles.
• Back lit mirrors and unique mirrors to add interest

• Architectural fittings focusing on quality and design finish
• Underfloor and towel rail heating for added luxury
