Crafted Kitchen Trend

With nature as its muse, the Crafted kitchen trend fuses organic materials, earthy tones, and rustic finishes to create a nurturing nest. Invigorating shades of blue and green instantly lift the spirits, while handcrafted elements highlight the homely feel. The comforting familiarity of the natural world is channelled from the outdoors to our interiors, providing a restorative place to relax, which also packs in personality. Antique-style accents add authenticity and emphasise the lived-in look. Functionality is also in focus and can be enhanced with bespoke and furniture tailored to the way we live today.

Stimulating shades

For a colourful living space that is vibrant and energising, pick a palette inspired by the sea, sky, and Earth – all mood-boosting hues that will brighten a home.

Stimulating shades

Marine blue, smoke green, dark claret, and ochre infuse the room with uplifting colour. Use these shades to create visual impact – like a long bank of bright cupboards – or mix-and-match with neutrals for a softer take on the trend. Featuring a clean white surface that is ready to customise, paintable door fronts offer the ultimate in bespoke styling. Simply pick a favourite from the paint chart to personalise the design, then refresh the look in future as fashions shift.

Authentic quality

To bring long-lasting character to a Crafted design, opt for solid counters. Echoing traditional interiors, oak block surfaces add rustic appeal and are available unfinished to customise with a stains, oil, or paint of your choice. Wooden materials also wear well over time, developing a more distinctive appearance with age. Meanwhile, quartz surfaces are made from engineered stone and are a hardwearing, moisture-resistant choice for a busy cooking area.

Antique-effect accents

Handgrips featuring aged metallic finishes have a timeworn tarnish and enhance the modest charm of the Crafted trend. This patinated effect softens the rich tones of copper and brass, while powder-coated pewter adds a sheen-free and subtle detail to door fronts. Pick designs that draw on the past, like cup and knob, which can be mixed and match to create an eclectic look.

Earthy textures

Like counters, floors offer an opportunity to enhance the authentic of a Crafted interior. Wooden floorboards and stone tiles are popular choices when recreating this trend and root the design in nature. Thanks to a range of wood and stone-effect laminates, you can enjoy the grained detail or mineral texture of these materials for less. These manmade planks are durable, low maintenance, and offer tactile appeal on a budget.

Timeless features

For a Crafted cooking space that is both functional for modern life and has hints of vintage charm, Butler or Belfast-style bowls are an on-trend choice. Deep enough to wash larger pots and pans or rinse produce during food prep, these period designs remain popular. Made from earth-fired materials, like clay, that resist scratching, staining, and fading over time, this is a hardwearing investment for a busy home.
