The Future of Kitchen Design
How Irish kitchens are changing, and why refinishing is replacing full replacement.
Kitchen design is moving towards keeping good units and changing their finish. Colour drenching, two tone cabinetry, warm neutrals and brass hardware all work on existing units, so homeowners increasingly respray rather than replace. It costs a fraction of a new kitchen, takes days rather than weeks and keeps a serviceable kitchen out of landfill.
Design is moving away from throwing kitchens out
The kitchens fitted across Ireland in the 2000s were well built. Their carcasses, hinges and runners are usually fine fifteen or twenty years later. What dates them is colour: cream, beech, light oak and high gloss white. When the only real problem is the finish, replacing the whole room stops making sense.
The trends that suit a respray
Almost every current kitchen trend is a finish decision rather than a structural one.
- Colour drenching, with units, walls and trim in one tone
- Two tone kitchens, pale above and deep below
- Warm neutrals replacing cool grey
- Green and clay tones in place of white
- Brushed brass and matt black hardware
- Matt and soft satin finishes instead of high gloss
Sustainability is now part of the decision
A replacement kitchen sends a skip of usable carcasses to landfill. Refinishing keeps them in use for another decade or more. For a growing number of customers that matters as much as the price difference, and it is the main reason we expect refinishing to keep taking share from replacement.
