Kitchen styling tips for cool summer kitchens
The popularity of clean lines achieved with sleek wide white slab doors, as featured on Betta Living's Dallas range, is showing no sign of slowing, as this key kitchen trend finds new ways to stay ahead in the fashion stakes.
Simple yet impactful styling touches and a bit of colour can turn a plain white kitchen a design statement and make it extremely en-vogue for 2011.
Wide Drawer Base Units
Not only practical, wide drawer base units deliver a designer look, enhanced by sleek curved stainless steel handles.
Statement Worktops
The 30mm thin profile of the granite worktop is a current trend, rather than chunkier worktops from a couple of years ago. The overhang provides a handy bar height seating area for casual dining and is a key new styling feature for kitchens.
Sapphire Blue Glass Splashback Teamed With Oak Flooring Creates a Calming Effect
Inject colour into a white kitchen with coloured glass splashbacks. Sapphire blue creates a calming effect when teamed with this light oak wood effect flooring.
Mood Lighting - a vital ingredient in kitchen design
The room is flooded with natural light from the large roof lights but plinth lights provide additional softer lighting - ideal mood lighting for entertaining.
What's Cooking In Kitchens - Dual Ovens & Island Hobs
The two main appliances that are in high demand right now are the induction hob, frequently being designed into a central island unit rather than along wall worktops; and additional steam ovens alongside conventional ovens to provide ample cooking facilities. This trend is being driven by the competitive pricing on appliances, making multiple cooking options a reality not just a nice to have.
A Hot And Practical Solution
Vertical radiators are a good space saving solution in the kitchen.
Betta Living's Dallas kitchen costs just £2,471 for an average sized kitchen (based on a guide layout and in Betta Living's 70% sale), with a 600mm base unit from £262.50.
