Here are the styles, colours, materials and trends to consider when designing your kitchen this year
HANDLE-LESS
The more minimalistic the better. Handle-less kitchens are on the rise as homeowners strive for a clean look. This BeSpace kitchen, with black handless cabinetry and a white quartz countertop displays a classic yet contemporary look. www.bespace.ie
TIMBER
Timber is a popular material in 2023 and when paired with black kitchen accents and stools like in this Bulthaup kitchen, the look becomes perfectly industrial. This year people are also allocating as much storage as possible into the island and under the counters. www.bulthaup.com

TIMBER PANELLING
Our research shows that many home owners undergoing renovations this year are looking to spice up the surfaces of their cabinetry and island. Timber panelling or cladding is on the rise and this home in Ranelagh makes it obvious as to why. The panelled wood paired with the glossy white cabinetry creates a harmonious, contemporary look. www.colinmaher.ie
PINK
Pink kitchens are trending and gorgeous! A beautiful, pastel pink kitchen allows you to include darker kitchen accents in order to create depth. Even if you don’t want it on your cabinets, liven up your walls with a pop of pink. www.britishstandardcupboards.co.uk
Green is everywhere in every shade. Pair it with brushed brass handles and it is a match made in heaven. www.devolkitchens.co.uk
BREAKFAST STATION
Slotting in a breakfast station amongst the cabinetry has always been a popular design choice but we are loving it this year. Complete the section with an installed Siemens combo oven like in this Noel Dempsey kitchen. It becomes a seriously functional section of cabinetry. www.noeldempsey.com. www.siemens.com
SHAKER KITCHEN
A shaker kitchen is a timeless kitchen. Play around with colour to add your personal touch and you can never go wrong. www.devolkitchens.co.uk
WARM HUES
Dark oak cabinetry and warm kitchen accents are being featured more and more this year. This Kube kitchen boasts handle-less cabinetry in flame scarfed oak with wall cladding. www.kubeinteriors.com
DISPLAY CABINETRY
Whether it is with small display cabinets or with large features like this Neptune Chichester kitchen display case, home owners are opening up their kitchens with glass cabinetry. It allows you to personalise your storage case and set the tone for your kitchen. www.neptune.com
STAINLESS STEEL STORAGE
Stainless steel storage is trending and our fantasies of being a professional chef have become realised – in our own homes! It is seriously practical for cooking and cleaning and paired with a dark kitchen, the mood is cool and contemporary. www.cashandcarrykitchens.ie
FLOATING CABINETRY
Floating cabinetry or cabinetry which reaches the ceiling is a very popular design choice. It optimises your space with lots of storage and can create a design feature on your walls. www.cashandcarrykitchens.ie
