COLOURFUL




        KITCHENS






        Appliances are easy on the eye as they tend to occupy the most space in

        a kitchen and are a huge investment. Adding to their appeal these days is

        the latest trend: their colour and the mood they convey.

       I   n 2024, the kitchen is going full-blown

           technicolour. Gone are subtle colour
           palettes like duck egg and deep green.
           In their place, homeowners and kitchen
        designers are going for colour schemes
        and want their ovens, microwaves and
        dishwashers to match in colour and/or tone.

        With advancements in smart technology,
        expect more and more appliances to
        integrate seamlessly into interconnected
        homes, offering unprecedented automation
        and customisation. Increasingly,
        manufacturers and consumers are focusing
        on appliances that can reduce energy and
        water waste.

        Fridges with functional features that keep
        food fresh for longer will likely continue to
        trend in 2024 – specifically the humidity-
        controlled drawers with adjustable airflow;
        these allow food to be exposed to different
        humidity levels for optimal fresh storage.
