Slab backsplashes are sticking around. Whether it’s marble, quartz, or granite, the continuous, seamless look of these slabs gives kitchen spaces a clean, elevated aesthetic. And just because it looks luxurious doesn’t mean it’s necessarily more expensive. In some cases, it’s less labor to install than tile and grout. Another benefit: It’s easy to clean and care for. This trend puts the focus on cohesion, something many consumers are wanting. Microwaves, blenders, and toasters go behind a panel or a cabinet door. Integrated appliances have a clutter-free and clean look.
Vanquish stubborn stains. If you can’t remove a stain by yourself, it may be time to call a stone refinisher. “They’ll do a professional cleaning using special grinders, and perhaps fine-grit sandpaper,” says Bruno. But Bruno doesn’t discourage homeowners from using fine sandpaper on a marble countertop themselves. “Don’t worry about hurting your stone,” he says. “If there’s a nick or chip, you can smooth it out with sandpaper. You can also try that on a stain—just remember to reseal the surface when you’re done.” As reassurance, he offers this extreme case: “My wife and I recently bought an antique marble table that had been left outside and actually had algae growing on it. I got all the stains out using an electric sander and some diluted bleach.” Bruno also recommends learning to live with the flaws. “In Italy no one would look at a natural stone countertop and say, ‘Oh no, there’s a stain from a New Year’s Eve party seventeen years ago!’ A little etching and staining is normal wear and tear—it just becomes part of the kitchen.
Home design is getting more and more in touch with nature, from eco-friendly practices and materials to actually bringing the best looks of nature indoors. Wood-like laminate and stone-like porcelain are perfect ways to easily and affordably get the earthy feel that nature-lovers and luxury-lovers alike are crazy about.
Eat-In Kitchens: Formal dining rooms and open-concept spaces have long been the norm, but in 2024, Botelho says informal breakfast nooks will be much more popular. Think cozy corners, natural light, and built-in bench seating. “This trend blends convenience and comfort, and allows you to enjoy your meals right in the heart of your home,” she explains. If this isn’t doable for your space, consider layering in stain-resistant textiles (curtains, cushions, and pillows) to make it feel more warm and welcoming.
If you’re buying an old building, check whether it’s listed, as this will severely limit the changes you can make, plus as a new owner you’re legally liable for rectifying any past illegal works, often at huge expense. Generally, unless you have a bottomless budget, avoid: properties built to a substandard quality, such as some cheaper Victorian terraces built without firebreak party walls in lofts and with worryingly thin single brick rear additions (which cause problems with mortgage lenders), those that have suffered botched alterations such as chimney breasts and internal walls illegally removed without Building Regulations’ consent.
We have the understanding and experience to produce kitchens that really work effectively on a day-to-day basis, as well as inspire aesthetically with their beauty and individual style. We always ensure that both elements go hand-in-hand throughout every stage of the process. Creativity and innovation are at the centre of all we do. Before we start the design process though, we carefully listen to your ideas, needs and preferences to really understand you and the kitchen you are looking for.
