Kitchen Trends: Calm Neutrals

Product picks to help your customers achieve the Calm Neutrals trend

More than ever, homeowners need living spaces that can be an oasis of calm and tranquility, as well as facilitate every day life. With homeowners spending more time in their properties, living spaces need to be able to host the transition from home office or workout area to a place for escapism and relaxation.

With a focus on raw, earth-inspired colours, natural materials and textures, the trend for calm neutrals is the perfect antidote to life’s sometimes chaotic and hectic nature. Here are some of our product picks to help you create this feeling of calm and relaxation for your customers:

Minerva Calcutta

Create the look of real marble for your customers, but without the price tag or installation difficulties of the natural material. Minerva Calcutta White is manufactured from man-made acrylic but has marble-like veining all the way through. It can be fitted without specialist subbies and comes with a 10-year warranty and was given a FIRA gold award for product excellence.

 

AluSplash

With at least five shades in the range that would fit perfectly with the calm neutrals trend, AluSplash splashbacks are a great way to bring soft tones into a kitchen, while also providing a practical, easy clean option for homeowners. It’s great news for installers too as it’s also quick and easy to fit and can be folded around corners to create a seamless, uninterrupted finish. Our favourite shade for the ultimate calm neutrals look is Warm Grey.  

 

Doors

As one of the biggest focal points of a kitchen, the role of the cabinet doors is crucial in defining a style, as well as an atmosphere. Neutral, earth tones are a favourite amongst homeowners opting for a warm base for their living space. 

​​​​​​​A shaker design adds depth to the design, as well as a timeless finish, whilst a beautiful dove grey colour provides a calming foundation that cab be paired with complementing tones, or contrasting pops of colour, as desired. 

 

Lighting

​​​​​​​Light is a mighty tool. It can be used to balance a room’s dimensions, give better spatial orientation and highlight key features, but it’s also incredibly powerful at creating a mood. 

As many homeowners will be using kitchen and dining spaces to work from home now and in the future, lighting is the perfect way to help transition a living area from workspace to relaxation zone. 

To create a calm neutrals feel, our Loox lighting range is ideal plus its plug and play design means it’s easy to install too. We’d recommend multi white ribbons and downlights that can be fitted under cabinetry with ease. Paired with our MESH system that allows remote control, it’s the ideal way to go from work mode to evening mode without leaving your seat!
