Slat Walls
In 2024 you are going to see a massively growing demand for slat walls. As we go into the newest era of technology, where showing off your latest devices is at the forefront of people’s minds. Everyone is looking for the best way to integrate their tech into the next re-model. As opposed to the dated designs of hiding away your systems as much as possible. Slat walls are the perfect opportunity to create a premium design which allows each client to have a bespoke arrangement. Allowing you to enter a more premium market which will overall achieve what all businesses seek to do… Increase margins. Slat walls are relatively easy to learn and can be created with various designs like a fireplace being included. From easy to do corner designs, to more complicated fully integrated designs.
Natural Coloured Worktops
As we enter the second half of the 2020s, we expect to see an evolution of interest and development of design in the natural-coloured worktops. Natural coloured worktops encompass any design which is based on natural materials, excluding wood grain. A few examples of currently popular natural designs would be EGGER Sand Grey Calvia Stone, Calais Travertine, Cremona Marble, Kronospan Charcoal Flow, Grey Albus, and Fossil Arosa. These designs also boast the modern 3D feel, giving the benefit of dynamic feel, whilst allowing you to remain environmentally conscious as all our worktops are made from high quality chipboard that comes with a decorative laminate bonded onto the surface. Sustainability does not have to cost you as all our chipboard also boasts a massive price decrease compared to full natural material.
Built-in Appliances
Its not a secret that as we dive more into the unknown in the coming years, humans are coming more connected with their tech on a daily basis. With the amount of devices/ appliance seen as a necessary going up year on year. We are looking for the best storage solutions. We believe in the coming few years we will see more of a demand for custom storage solutions to neatly and easily store appliances like a air-fryer. Just as we seen for the space for a washing machine in the 19th century, the 21st century will be focused on developing new ideas to best fit our changing world. Blum is pioneering their way in all-in-one built for purpose storage solutions. With their dedication to smooth and sleek design, they aim to create a new way to interact with your tech.
Modern Matt Look
If there was one word to encompass 2024. It would be ‘MATT’! As over the last few years we are seeing people move away from the bland outdated look of a traditional wood grain finish, into the highly personalisable world of Matt designs. With matt design swaggering onto the scene, the opportunities for fresh designs exploded. With the most popular colours, such as: Super Matt Angora Grey, Super Matt Highland Green, Super Matt Dust Grey, SERICA Reed Green, SERICA Kobe and SERICA Light Grey, are flying off the shelves, as they give the perfect complimentary colour for any natural-coloured worktops. I predict that as we head into 2025 more of the general public will be looking to modernise their spaces, giving you the perfect opportunity to show the potential of the newly released Egger Decorative Collection 24+, which boasts a wide selection of premium super matt décors.
Small Space Optimisation
With the cost-of-living effecting everyone & no time of it slowing down. As we head into the future, we expect to see a massive increase in demand for ways to optimise the small spaces people are forced to occupy. With correct configuration this does not have to be a struggle though. You could still live comfortably in a restricted space if planned correctly. Plus, now with the help of Blum, we are excited for what opportunities we will face in the coming few years. As well as some people choosing to live in ‘tiny houses’ becoming more of a trend. Space optimisation is at the cutting edge of fitting as it usually takes a very skilled tradesmen to fit these units correctly in order to obtain that perfectly flush finish. As any small defect will be a million times more noticeable during the fitting of an optimised fitting, because there is simply less room to miss/ ignore them.
