Defining your style is one of the most exciting and important milestones you will make during your wardrobe transformation journey. Whether you are defining your style for a wardrobe, home office, kitchen, pantry or laundry; your style will influence a myriad of decisions from the colour palette and finishes such as cabinetry and benchtop colours, profiles and textures, as well as your handle, accessories and appliance selections.
With so many styles to choose from it can be overwhelming to decide upon your style. However, as one of the first aspects you must finalise at the beginning of your wardrobe transformation, it is something you will need to decide on with confidence – and we are here to help.
In this blog, we explore some of our favourite up and coming wardrobe and kitchen styles in 2020, which can sit side by side with some of the classics such as Hamptons, Modern and Industrial. Read on and discover your dream style.
Transform your bedroom into a calming sanctuary with an Upscale Scandi wardrobe style. Embracing a classic Scandinavian colour scheme, white and timber tones shine to evoke a relaxed yet glamorous feel.
We recommend pairing White Satin external doors with Ash Firenze Natural internal finishes. This neutral combination is the perfect backdrop for luxe extras and accessories to take centrestage. Eye-catching handles are another essential element, and we love our new Capello Oak Black Knob or new Ribe Oak Timber Handles for this style. Up the luxe factor with a makeup station, wardrobe island or study nook topped with a Chalk Ceramic Streamline laminate top.
Sophistication at its finest, the Modern Elegance wardrobe style is sleek, edgy and bold. Sporting a striking monochromatic palette and brass highlights, your robes are sure to impress.
Suit Grey Internal finishes contrast beautifully against Peak Volcanic Black external doors with integrated brass handles. Statement handles are a must – in particular brass or gold-look – we love our Square Hook Brushed Brass handles for this look. Add a study nook or makeup station within your wardrobe design, with benches topped with Black Tempal countertops from Caesarstone.
Explore your kitchen style too!
Similarly to choosing your wardrobe style, defining your kitchen style is a central step in your Freedom Kitchens journey. Again it is an aspect that you will need to decide upon at the very beginning of the process – below we explore two of our favourite kitchen styles for 2020 that will stand the test of time.
Designer tip: Carry your style whether Modern, Scandi or Coastal throughout your home for a harmonious flow. Matching or similar doors, colours and benchtops is the easiest and most effective way to achieve this.
The Coastal style typically celebrates simplicity, clean lines and a pared-back palette. Put a fresh twist on this ever-popular style with Oyster Grey Matt Cora cabinetry, our new thin profile door which is a contemporary take on the classic Shaker-style kitchen and matte black accessories.
Take a departure from expected marble-look benchtops and instead opt for a colour with a natural texture, such as Caesarstone’s Excava which showcases authentic features of rust and concrete. Pair with terracotta tile splashbacks and natural styling decor to complete the look.
Bring the outside in with the Textured Terrain look which connects nature with your home and kitchen. Boasting an array of natural textures, this palette feels fresh, earthy and modern; a perfect fit for Australian interiors.
Be bold with rich tones of warm timbers such as Tobacco Halifax Oak laminate countertops teamed with Brushed Orb Bar handles. Add contrast with neutral tones with Caesarstone’s Cloudburst Concrete or cabinetry in our new Groove Panelling Primed Board, which can be painted in any desired colour. We love to use Country Chic styling to ground the design. Note: Vera doors available August 2020.
Celebrate the tones of Australian flora with a palette of green, black and timber with the Natural Obsession style. Texture, pattern and form balance perfectly to create a showpiece kitchen which is a dream to entertain in.
Couple new Verity Prime Oak and Impression Green Slate cabinetry with Black Tempal Caesarstone tops and eye-catching hardware such as our new Crest channel handle. With the flexibility to be as dramatic or subtle as you desire, select styling elements that establish the look you wish to achieve. Note: Verity Prime Oak doors and Crest Channel handle available August 2020.
Whites, greys and pale timbers are at the heart of this iconic and distinct Nordic style. Achieve this look with our Value Range kitchens, our latest collection offering a stylish kitchen design solution at a value pricepoint for fully assembled cabinetry.
Layering texture and tone, this style leans into minimalism so the key is to maintain a pared-back palette. Oyster Grey Matt and White Satin doors work perfectly, especially when teamed with Natural Halifax Oak laminate benchtops. Complete the look with accessories in silver and blush hues.
