Sub-Zero & Wolf believe incorporating different materials and textures in the kitchen, is a clever way to highlight and contrast design features.

The stark minimalist kitchen is waning in popularity and through 2010 a stylish mix-and-match approach will emerge:

• Stainless steel appliances will be teamed with a variety of raw materials, textures and colours, for example; wood, glass, concrete and exposed features such as brick work.

• The combination of different materials including flooring, cabinetry, work surfaces, and interesting spaces.

• Warm coloured wood is being used with rich and sophisticated grains, providing an elegant canvas to the kitchen.

• Sleek stainless steel appliances juxtapose well against the range of diverse surfaces, offering an industrial feel with a technological edge.

• Alternatively, appliances can be cleverly concealed using integrated cabinetry to blend with the scheme, for limitless design possibilities.

Featured here, is the stylish mix of the Sub-Zero wine storage with refrigeration drawers. Priced from £7,457.75 inc. VAT, and

The 700 Series units, priced from £6,656.00 inc. VAT.

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.

Featured here is the evitavonni Wenge timber kitchen with detailing in Indian Rosewood priced from £75,000 Inc VAT.
