evitavonni’s Kitchens – Mixing The Contemporary with The Classic

evitavonni’s in-house team of specialist designers are leading the way in 2010 kitchen trends with their custom-built designs.

Tristan de la Haye, Design Consultant at evitavonni comments, “In 2010 we will see more traditional styles mixed with contemporary shapes; at evitavonni we are also predicting a resurgence in dark wood kitchens, which work well balanced with circular units, contemporary lighting and light-coloured work surfaces.”

Stark minimalist kitchens are waning in popularity as consumers opt for a warmer at-home look, with the focus remaining on a social space for entertaining.

• Wood is being used as a raw material, with rich and sophisticated grains such as maple and walnut, providing an elegant backdrop to the kitchen.

• The look is juxtaposed against unusual shapes, including circular designs and rotating islands.

• An intelligently designed kitchen should look good, work effectively, suit the desired lifestyle and be as environmentally friendly and as sustainable as possible.

• Green issues have been part of the kitchen design conversation for some time, but their effect on overall interior design has been fairly minimal to date, partly due to the quality and limited availability of good ‘green’ products.

• Consumers are looking for high performing equipment to fully flex their culinary skills with high-spec stainless steel appliances on full display instead of built-in.

• Luxury appliances including coffee machines, ice makers and wine storage are becoming the norm in high-end kitchens making them ideal for practical use and entertaining.
