Here at Kitchen Design Centre, summer is one of our favourite seasons – there’s just something to be said for the blazing sunshine, blue skies, and of course, the beautiful summer food. And just with so many seasonal changes, summer also brings with it a brand new set of fascinating kitchen designs. We don’t know about you, but we can’t help but get excited over the upcoming kitchen trends for summer 2023.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your kitchen this season, you’re in exactly the right place. Here are a few of our favourite design schemes for you to try out this Summer!
Monochrome style kitchens are characterised by a black-and-white colour scheme that can be broken up with injections of grey. This style utilises white surfaces and light grey cabinetry, countertops, and flooring for a clean and contemporary look. If you’re looking to introduce this modern design scheme to your kitchen space, consider black accents in fixtures, hardware, and appliances to create contrast and sophistication.
This timeless style makes a space feel larger and more open, which makes it a perfect choice for smaller kitchens. It also offers easy maintenance, and hides dirt and stains particularly well. Overall, it’s not hard to see why this popular kitchen style is so popular – it combines timeless elegance, versatility, and a serene atmosphere, with a practical and visually appealing design.

Shaker style kitchens are known for their clean lines and functional design. This typically features recessed panel doors, often made of wood, with a neutral colour palette. The popularity of this style stems from its timeless appeal, versatility, and durability. It’s simple and classic aesthetic transcends trends, while the quality materials and craftsmanship work together to ensure longevity.
Shaker style kitchens (like all of our kitchens!) allow for endless personalisation, and their natural connections add warmth and cosiness through the use of materials like wood. All of these features help Shaker style kitchens to provide a harmonious blend of simplicity, functionality, and enduring charm that can add value and style to any home.

Generally speaking, dark and moody style kitchens feature deep, rich colours and dramatic contrasts which create a sense of mystery and sophistication within your space. The popularity of this design lies in its unique and striking aesthetic, departing from brighter and more traditional kitchens.
The dark colour palette adds depth and intimacy while allowing for creative expression through textures and materials. Plus, it evokes a cosy and inviting atmosphere, especially in larger spaces. Dark and moody kitchens often incorporate metallic accents for a touch of luxury, and they offer a contemporary and edgy look that captivates with its visual allure. If you’re looking to create a sophisticated ambiance within your kitchen space, then a dark and moody design is definitely for you.

Scandi (or Scandinavian) style kitchens are characterised by their minimalist design, clean lines, and natural materials. The light and airy colour palette creates a sense of tranquillity and spaciousness, however its real popularity lies in its timeless appeal, functionality, and ability to make small spaces appear larger. Specifically, the use of natural materials and the muted colour scheme creates a sense of calm and openness that you don’t get from other designs. Overall, the Scandi style kitchen is perfect if you’re looking to create a harmonious and practical environment within your kitchen. The scheme promotes simplicity, efficiency, and a sense of well-being, making it a very popular choice with a lot of our customers.

A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN WITH A T-SHAPED ISLAND
When a client decided to replace the kitchen in his Ribble Valley home, he approached Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler after a recommendation from his business partner.
“I’m delighted with the look of the kitchen but also how functional it is. Will really thought about how the kitchen would work from a cooking perspective.”

What a transformation by Simon at our Barrowford showroom. SWIPE for the before and after.
Our client chose the lovely (finger print proof)matt Umbra and black velvet oak doors with striking Calacatta quartz worktops. The Umbra was chosen to coordinate with their existing dining set.
Simon from our Barrowford showroom ran the project with Graham from GCL Developments @gcldevelopments. All fitted while the customer were on holiday for a month.
Matching utility with wash basket storage, maximum floor to ceiling units and dog wash sink. The design was to open up the space and make all the rooms work as one family space, with defined areas/zones.
