Kitchen Trends: Sleek and Modern

The sleek and modern trend has been around for a while, but it isn’t going anywhere fast. Here are some of our product picks, to help your customers achieve this seamless style.

Sleek & Modern

Simple, clean and fuss free. With increasingly busy lives and workloads, it’s no surprise that many customers are opting for clutter-free kitchens and smooth lines in their home.

Nova Pro Scala by Grass

The sleek and modern trend is about more than just what looks good, it’s also about products that are enormously practical and just feel good when you use them. Grass’ range of Nova Pro Scala drawers are sleek and modern, in terms of both aesthetic and operation.

With integrated liquid soft-close and fully synchronised runner technology, you can create really functional drawers for customers to keep large pans, plates or utensils out of sight that are super smooth to open and close.

FREE Range

Our FREE flap fitting range also combines quality and functionality for a seamless user experience and offers a great alternative to traditional hinges. FREE Fold, FREE Up and FREE Swing can also be retrofitted with FREE E-drive for smooth electronic movement; ideal for handle-less kitchens, which are very popular when it comes to the sleek and modern trend.

The latest in the range is the multi-award-winning FREE Space; a sleek fitting that’s as compact as it is strong and creates more storage capacity in cabinets than any other fitting in its class. Available in anthracite, white or grey, FREE Space carries the sleek and modern trend right through to cabinet fittings.

Smeg Linea Hood

Sleek and modern epitomised, Smeg’s Linea hood proves simple is far from boring. Its tilting glass design creates a striking feature and is available in black or silver glass. The hood also has a super quiet 67db noise level, making it minimal in volume as well as in stature.

Loox Lighting

Lighting can make or break any kitchen design but is especially important for the sleek and modern trend. Loox strip lighting is the perfect way to create simple lines and clever LED technology makes your customer’s kitchen practical as well as stylish. With plug and play technology at the heart of its design, Loox is a comprehensive yet simple system could not be easier to connect; minimum complexity, maximum impact.

Finishing Touches

The finer details help enhance the sleek and modern trend with elements such as sinks, taps and door handles really adding to the overall contemporary feel of a kitchen. The GROHE K800 is a premium sink in terms of both design and quality. Designed to be flush mounted, this sleek stainless steel sink has extra deep 200 mm bowls and has the added benefits of space saving siphons and stylish waste covers. For a contrasting finish, the Paragon Igneous in Granite is a great option.

Matching taps with door handles is also a great way to tie the sleek and modern design together. The new Intense range of taps makes pairing easy with a wide range of colours, including matt black and copper, and go perfectly with minimalist door handles from the Este and Como collection of handles. With pull or knob options, these subtle, simple handles bring real elegance to a design.
