STAINLESS STEEL SIMPLICITY
Typically associated with professional kitchens, this no-nonsense, down-to-business kitchen set up is also family-friendly. An accent wall or open shelving will bring this minimalist kitchen to life. @abimis_kitchens

SCANDI STYLE
On the other end of the scale, Scandinavian style kitchens are trending. Natural materials, solid wood, rustic finishes and a neutral two-tone colour palette make a simple statement. A free-standing island with tapered legs is typical of Scandi design and is the definition of Nordic cool. @neptunehomeofficial

CONCEALED CRAZE
Sliding or pocket doors concealing your kitchen is the epitome of organisation. This compact cabinet design in the corridor of an apartment takes up as much room as a closet, resulting in a neat, uninterrupted space. @studiobazi

OUTDOOR HAVEN
Weather-resistant cabinets, built-in barbecues, pizza ovens and wine coolers create a fully functional outdoor kitchen and entertaining space. A one-piece wonder like this masterpiece will look smart and sleek in the garden. @noeldempseydesign
