We can't quite believe it, but a new year is almost upon us. If you're looking for ways to refresh your home in the new year, the kitchen is a great place to start. Redoing your kitchen will elevate your entire home… And there are plenty of incredible trends to look forward to this year.
Looking for some inspiration for trending kitchen decorating ideas for 2022? We've got you covered.
The Focus Is Shifting To Cabinetry
Some people wrongly assume that kitchen cabinets are simply a perfunctory part of the space, choosing to opt for MDF cabinetry while investing more in other elements of the space. However, in 2022… the focus will be squarely on the cabinets. And for good reason! They’re the bones of any kitchen. Solid wood kitchen cabinets are more durable and benefit from the natural grain patterns and textures of the wood that you choose - in other words, they look fantastic and last for decades!
Trust us - we know a thing or too about kitchen cabinetry. Bloomsbury Fine Cabinetry specializes in luxurious, custom made English furniture style cabinetry. We’re one of the last remaining boutique companies practicing the true art of custom kitchen cabinetmaking, creating a bespoke experience from concept to installation.

Green is Here to Stay
Green is super trendy in kitchen design at the moment. We made this prediction in early 2021... and we’re happy to report that this colour isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon.
With COVID still playing a big role in our lives, many of us are spending more time than ever at home -- so, adding some natural, earthy tones to your kitchen can help bring some of the natural world inside.
We love deep, forest-y shades of green, but just about any tone will look stunning in a kitchen. Try a dark emerald to add some sophistication to your space, or opt for a brighter pastel shade to make the space feel more bright and cheery.
Maximize Your Natural Light
Gone are the days of harsh overhead lights in the kitchen. 2022 will be all about letting the sunshine in. If you're planning on redoing your kitchen next year, try to find innovative ways to maximize your natural light sources. This might mean incorporating a skylight, adding floor to ceiling windows, accordion doors… the options are endless! The more natural light, the more open, fresh, and welcoming your kitchen will feel.
Try a Slab Backsplash
While tile backsplashes will always be on trend, in 2022, why not try slab backsplash? We saw this trend emerge in 2021, and we’re here to tell you - it’s only getting bigger in 2022! Instead of tiles, opt for other more unexpected material like concrete, marble, or stone to add unique texture and depth to your kitchen space.
Closed Off Kitchen Spaces
Would you believe us if we told you that open concept is on its way “out”? If the pandemic has taught us anything about our homes, it’s that separate spaces are extremely valuable. So much so that builders are now gravitating toward closed concept homes, where kitchens are a completely separate room entirely. Homeowners are starting to see more value in kitchens and food prep areas that are away from the hustle and bustle of everyday family life.
