Always the beating heart of the home, kitchens allow us to stamp our personality on our property. Trends are many and varied: Helen Wood of Simply Extend has noted that, exposed steel is becoming more popular in kitchen extensions and pairs well with an industrial style,” while Kitchen Revolutions advises that for durability “ceramic worktops such as Dekton or Neolith as they are stain, scratch and heat resistant.” Eclectic Interiors says “a bar cabinet is a must to match worktops if space allows.” Bethell Projects says brass and gold tones are popular. “They are drawn to the warmth of the colour. Often we find that it is the natural ageing process that is the attraction, especially in period properties.”
