Design trends we're seeing in kitchen glass panels

Published 2024-02-19

The kitchen stopped being just a place to cook a long time ago - today it's a central hub of home life, where families and friends spend time together. Plenty of people are planning a finish or a kitchen renovation, so we took a look at which kitchen glass panels our customers pick most often.

Black and gold

An increasingly clear trend is black in the kitchen mixed with gold accents - handles, the sink mixer tap, stands, hooks. Glass panels with a black background and a pattern that carries a gold-look colour through it look stunning in a kitchen like this. Printing technology can't quite do reflective gold, but we can finish a panel with a delicate glitter effect in various shades - the light reflections and glitter shine give the room a real sense of exclusivity.

Graphic motifs

Kitchens increasingly feature floral motifs, coffee themes, sentimental views or abstract graphics. It's a great way to add an interesting decorative element to your kitchen - in a minimalist kitchen, a panel with one large graphic motif works particularly well.

Minimalism

Some customers still follow the minimalist trend - in these kitchens, simple, geometric shapes and neutral colours are what's wanted, with cabinets in one uniform colour and no unnecessary decoration. A glass panel in a single colour - white, grey, black or beige - fits this look perfectly. A simple pattern adds lightness and makes a kitchen look modern and timeless.

A return to nature

There's also a clear trend back towards nature - kitchens are featuring wood-textured cabinets mixed with white or black. Glass panels with natural patterns - delicate flowers in muted colours, wood or stone - fit these interiors beautifully, giving the kitchen a cozy, natural character.

3D patterns and bold colour

Interest in 3D patterns that create an illusion of depth is also growing - our designers regularly put together custom projects like this for customers. In terms of colour, bolder shades - red, navy or deep maroon - are showing up more often, and they pair particularly well with grey or white kitchen fronts. To avoid overdoing it, an intense colour shouldn't dominate the entire panel surface; with colourful cabinet fronts, panels in light, muted tones tend to work better instead.

We're also seeing a slight dip in interest in the once-fashionable abstract patterns, increasingly replaced by geometric ones - the hexagon, in particular, remains a firm favourite in many colour variants.
