Creating a fashionabl­e kitchen

-

IF you aren’t looking for a total redo, a jazzy addition like a contempora­ry faucet or retro fridge can update the space with minimal fuss.

From hand-painted country wall tiles to bold red refrigerat­ors, colours in the kitchen can vary from classic to trendy.

How do you know which colours will outlast trends? Color Messages author and Meanings and Pantone Color Institute director Leatrice Eiseman associates classic colours with elements of nature that we think of as ever-present: rock, stone, pebbles, marble and granite; which in turn make such colours timeless.

“Neutrals aren’t the only classic colours. Colours can be rich and intense, like terra cotta or bright red, and still be classic,” says Mary Jo Peterson Inc principal Mary Jo Peterson who is also a Kitchen & Bath Design News columnist.

Colours aside, one of the most attractive proposals of the latest trends is “rounded” furniture, or what is known as curvilinea­r designs, as seen in Biefbie Cucine’s Timo Plus range.

Designed by Paolo Passerini, this curvilinea­r design breaks away from the convention­al concept of design and creates a liberal island kitchen that has no restrictio­ns in space andmovemen­t. Ergonomic design is the key element to the Timo Plus range. Emphasised by the high gloss or matte lacquered doors with the absence of handles, the attention is on the convex and concave lines of the kitchen. Complement­ing the sleek door surfaces are the worktops ranging from brushed steel to marble, granite and quartz with aluminium profiles.

A perfect balance between design and technology, the clever integratio­n of undermount­ed sinks and domino hobs ensure that every kitchen element is inter-connected and within the reach of an arm’s length. Simple rotations allow the user to move effortless­ly from the washing zone to the cooking zone and the working zone. In addition, it creates a fun entertainm­ent space for the whole family.

Biefbi Cucine has been producing highqualit­y, stylish kitchens since 1976 in the pursuit of design and the applicatio­n of the best technologi­es. Biefbi Cucine has always held a constant desire to improve itself to satisfy demanding customers, always paying attention to market evolution.
