Here's new Australia Kitchen Design Trend
Baths are big, spacious and stand alone, rather than built-in.
Ergonomic design eliminates the need to bend or twist. Design the benchtop and sink at the right height for you, install a Fisher & Paykel dish drawer at waist height and the oven at eye-level.
Flat pack kitchens have suffered from bad press for years but the DIY revival is changing that. Plus, you can save anywhere from 20 and 40 per cent.
Heated towel rails are now a bathroom essential. They mean warm towels and reduced mould.
Handles are square-edged, or not there (push catches or tapered edges).
Joinery is sophisticated and elegant. Lines are invisible or work with the design.
Kickboards have disappeared where cabinets are wall-hung or reduced in height as cabinets lengthen.
Man-made materials - acrylic polymers such as Corian and Marblo and composite quartz products such as Caesar Stone - are enjoying a renaissance. They are durable and seamless.
Mirrors in the bathroom are large, either running the length of the vanity, or up the wall from the vanity to the ceiling.
Natural materials are always winners - stone, marble, and timber.
Quality cabinet hardware, such as hinges, drawer runners and handles, last a lifetime and are a joy to use.
Square is in. Square or squared-off sinks, many shaped like troughs, are appearing in both the kitchen and bathroom.
Storage, lots of it, sells. Built-in storage; shelves; pullout units, and corner carousels have become essentials.
Underfloor heating. It’s a luxury and daily delight.
Vanities are square-edged, streamlined, and mounted off the floor. They can be dark, light, or a combination of both.
White is still the most popular colour choice, just make sure it’s matt.
Zenithal tallboys, narrow, slender and vertical storage units, are used as feature display units in both the kitchen and bathroom.
