Kitchen design trends you cannot miss in 2022

In this guide, we have curated all the trends in kitchen design in 2022. Consider it a one-stop-shop for kitchen design ideas. Read on to find out different ways to zhuzh up the design of the kitchen and kitchen décors.
 

• Eclectic styles will also be highly visible. Many people are now choosing to make smaller changes rather than tearing everything down and starting from scratch. People will still look for modern solutions in terms of functionality, for example, modular kitchens. But in terms of aesthetics, adding character-driven pieces will be all the rage. Vintage cupboards as a pantry, art-deco inspired handles and pulls, statement light fixtures and french window designs for the kitchen are just some ways to do it. Tint stained wood cabinets will lend a boho look.

 Even for countertops, black will be a dominant colour- either as a part of an all-black kitchen or just an accent piece.
 

Experimentation with mixing material and finishes is to be expected. Matte finishes are being used to offset more reflective materials like metals, tiles, etc. 

Many people are moving away from the high-gloss of all stainless steel kitchens.

Tiles are another material that is making its mark in 2022 kitchen designs. Ceramics and porcelain tiles are excellent due to their low maintenance and longevity. Additionally, it offers many options in terms of colour and patterns. Tiling can be used to install other materials such as wood, granite, etc. You could use it for backsplashes, a statement wall, flooring and window jambs.
 

4. Kitchen Design Trends 2022- Colour

People seem to be moving away from all white and beige spaces. Pigmented and colourful kitchen ideas are making the rounds, and cabinets are the primary way to add some colour in 2022. Here are some kitchen cabinet colour trends for 2022.

• All black matte kitchens with some accents seem to be highly sought-after.
  
• Green is predicted to be the colour of the year in interiors. Deep hues such as emerald, pine, and forest will help create depth in the kitchen. Tints and tones like jade, mint, moss, etc., will allow you to make a playful vibe and at the same time keep the space light and airy.
  
• The subtlety of earth tones will add much-needed pigment to the area without being loud or distracting.
  
• Natural timbre is also gaining much favor. You may choose dark, mid-toned or light wood, depending on the overall style. Stains and polish will help you bring out the wood's natural grain.
  
• Yellows are a fan favorite to make the kitchen more lively and breezy.
  
• Blues are a classic choice for their versatility. Depending on the shade and the tone, it can be romantic, soothing, fresh, cozy or edgy. Pick a hue based on the vibe you want to create in the kitchen while adding a flair of personality to it.

5. Kitchen Interior Design Trends 2022- Backsplash

Now more than ever, kitchen backsplashes have become integral design elements. Tiling, slabs and paint are a few ways to introduce interest through backsplashes.

6. Kitchen Interior Design Trends 2022- Cabinetry

• A classic that continues to make its mark is shaker cabinetry.
  
• Wooden cabinets are also quite popular. Some designs seek to highlight the natural timbre. Others may prefer tinted stain finishes to add some pigment to the kitchen interiors.
  
• For a seamless and clutter-free look, many are now opting to do away with upper cabinetry altogether.
  
• On the flip side, open shelves also seem to be gaining more traction. You can use them as storage and/or display mounts for décor such as plants, paintings, etc.
  
• Mesh cabinetry is a new kitchen design in 2022 to watch out for.

7. Kitchen Interior Design Trends 2022- Appliances

In terms of appliances, here are a few modular kitchen design that are gaining momentum:

• All integrated appliances
  
• Faucets used as accent elements
  
• Convenient yet concealed plugs and ports
  
• Signature kitchen suite ranges offer multiple cooking options and will therefore be quite in demand.
  
• Built-in coffee stations are also becoming quite popular to keep the counter space clear.

8. Kitchen Interior Design Trends 2022- Multipurpose layouts

As we have seen, kitchens are now used in varied ways, especially as WFH has become permanent in many cases. To that extent, layouts that allow multi-functionality will be all the rage. Many will choose to add kitchen islands or dedicated workstations for that added space.

9. Kitchen Trends 2022- Pantry

The kitchen pantry is a staple that isn't going anywhere. But based on the style of the kitchen and the space, we will see different solutions. In a more rustic, cottagecore themed kitchen, you might see an antique cupboard turned pantry situation. Pull-out drawers or a fully integrated cabinet unit could be used in more sleek, contemporary hi-tech designs. If there is enough space, people may opt for walk-in pantries, much like the butler's pantry.

10. Lighting in Modern Kitchen Design 2022

Lighting will be central in modern kitchen designs in 2022. The emphasis will be on layering. Since the kitchen is a diverse space, the requirement for illumination varies from area to area. Recessed lighting under wall cabinets makes great task lighting when cooking and prepping. Pendant lights or ceiling lights are a must over islands and dining spaces. Some general ambient lighting will keep the whole room well lit. Light fixtures are an excellent way to add metallic accents and statement pieces to the design.

11. Kitchen POP design

You can infuse some character into your kitchen design by incorporating some architectural elements in it. You can do so using POP. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• An arched entrance with POP pillars.
  
• An intricate false ceiling design will work well in an eclectic or vintage inspired kitchen.
  
• Horizontal beams across the ceiling are the right fit for a rustic, farmhouse style kitchen.
  
• Some POP molding or trimmings can highlight the design of the cabinets.
  
• A false wall with a carved Indian style arch makes for a stunning statement wall. Add some recessed lighting along its shape to highlight it.
