HOME EDITION
STOCKISTS
quiet luxury trend that’s at the forefront of home design right now. With a showroom in Cambridge, Tomas Kitchen Living celebrates the aesthetic with handmade kitchens featuring handle-less cabinets, soft curves and an understated feel. Kitchen brassware manufacturer Graff predicts pared-back design and timeless minimalism to dominate kitchen design in AW24 and into 2025, saying it sees a return towards cooler-toned metals. Ziggy Kulig, CEO at Graff, remarks: “Silver and chrome are timeless finishes and ideal for adding a sleek contrast to a warmer colour scheme, or to elevate a cooler space with chic metallic accents.” Meanwhile, putting the kitchen as a centrepiece of the home, jewel-box
colours and dramatic designs continue to dominate. Liebherr’s Blacksteel – a black stainless-steel surface – offers a dramatic alternative to a classic stainless-steel finish, while Otto Tiles & Design’s Luna range, part of its Mediterranean Collection, offers statement geometric patterns. Crafted by Otto’s master atelier, they are made from Italian nero marquina, bianco carrara and tundra grey marble using intricate hand- cutting techniques. The result is a dynamic pattern and strong colour contrasts. You can even create a talking point with functional appliances, shares heating specialists M & J Abbs, which has a showroom outside St Ives in Cambridgeshire. It supplies radiators, Rayburns and electric Agas – all available in bold colours to bring beauty to an otherwise practical piece. Allison Lynch from Roundhouse Design also suggests that using a mix of materials works well to achieve a high-end result. “We would suggest dark greens and metals paired with textured worktops. The bolder use of colour is being explored – whether it be on walls or cabinet doors – to create mood and add depth to the space. We are also seeing lots of open shelving to display collections of sculptural vases and less need for several wall cupboards.”
