This pale green vinyl will not leave indifferent those who are looking for trend and modernity. In addition, you can mix it with other materials such as marble or even with neutral tones such as gray.

Open and multifunctional kitchens

Nowadays, kitchens have become versatile spaces, that is, places where to cook, eat, work or rest.

As we have seen in previous seasons, kitchens are designed with the objective of allowing this function of shared space. A kitchen open to the living room enlivens the environment, since it encourages social interaction within the home.

If you are looking to give a touch of color to your decorations try the caldera tone. You can combine it with decorative styles such as raw, boho, Mediterranean and rustic.

If you are more daring, you need to combine the natural wood texture and bluish hues. The latest stylistic trends combine them with plants, large posters, marble, black colors and small golden pieces as complements.

Natural textures: Marbles

Mixing raw materials is what we are going to see more this year in kitchens both in countertops and walls. Materials such as marble, stone or granite are used to find that point of connection with nature.

Black marble is on trend and is here to stay. It is a great option if you are looking to create a risky and very fresh space.

The following design will bring distinction and elegance to your rooms. It is ideal if you use it both on the front wall and on the countertop, giving continuity to the texture. You can add other shades such as white and dark gray, but the total black is always a success.

Anything goes when it comes to using this material. In the case of Calacatta marble, white with gray veins, it is a very versatile and timeless design.

In this version, it provides elegance and warmth to interiors. If you want to apply it on larger surfaces, it can be combined alternately and thus give greater continuity to the texture.

Natural textures: Wood

Continuing with this trend, you will see kitchens decorated with raw wood in medium tones such as oak, which are also used in combination with desaturated tones, smooth or stone.

If you are looking to bring warmth to your kitchen, you can opt for imitation wood vinyls being a winning option for its authentic look and ease of use.

In addition, the decoration with dark wood grain and defined knots give the interior an elegant and sober style. It is also very suitable for use in living rooms or foyers.

Its sophistication and simplicity make this design a good choice to stand the test of time.

Natural textures: Stones and terrazzo

Thanks to its versatility, you can use it to create more serious and cold environments as to make them more fun and warm.

In other words, modern terrazzo texture is a good bet if you want to give your kitchen an elegant and desaturated look. Its shades make this vinyl compatible with an infinite number of decorative styles.

In the following photograph, this vintage texture, gray-toned, low-contrast terrazzo used in the front, gives a harmonious balance between size and density, giving it a neutral character.

The secret lies in the use of a balanced color palette in combination with modern and clean lines.

Rattan details

These natural materials have come on strong. A kitchen with a wicker and rattan decor coupled with this sepia brown color will create a calm and elegant atmosphere.

It combines perfectly with the wabi-sabi and japandi style. In addition, it will look perfect with earth tones, beige, off-white and dark or natural untreated woods.

Slatted and curved panels

The fluted or grooved finishes are arousing great enthusiasm and admiration among interior design experts. The kitchen is one of the spaces where it is gaining more strength, and we can see it on walls and cabinets as well as on islands or curved peninsulas.

Therefore, we are facing an ideal wood to get a natural touch in your spaces. Similarly, it is a good idea to incorporate other natural elements such as pots or natural fibers in chairs or lamps.

To make your kitchen look more diaphanous you can mix it with light tones such as white or other warmer shades such as beige.

Natural and soft colors

By merging the kitchen with other rooms such as the living room or dining room, has triggered the integration of all kitchen furniture on the walls, thus disappearing discordant shapes and colors.

In this way, more and more use is being made of neutral and homogeneous colors such as grays.

Although, due to the trend of linking the home to nature, we can also see other combinations in warmer shades such as earth and green colors that will bring tranquility and calm to the home.

Not only can you apply plain colors, but also geometric patterns of lines, curves and circles.

You can complement it with any other style, although it is very common in midcentury, Nordic, art deco, among others.

As you can see, the design options are endless. Petra stucco will provide your kitchen with a natural finish and a lot of warmth in the environment.

Japandi style

Japandi decoration is based on the wabi-sabi philosophy and is a mixture of Japanese and Scandinavian styles. It is mainly characterized by minimalist, warm and calm environments.

This latest trend in interior design makes use of natural elements such as wood, ceramic or cement and neutral colors to create functional rooms, but at the same time comfortable and cozy.

As you can see in the following design, the texture of cement in dark gray tones offers a natural and handmade appearance due to its irregularities, stains and imperfections.

In this style you can also go for dark wood textures as in this case (smoked oak). Thanks to the sobriety of its colors and its veins you will have a very elegant and calm kitchen.
