Unlike bold colours that might become less appealing over the years, neutrals continue to exude a sense of calm and elegance

Neutrals like whites, creams, greys, and beiges offer a clean and sophisticated backdrop that remains appealing for years, making your kitchen a space that’s always in vogue.

In fact, a neutral colour scheme serves as a versatile canvas that effortlessly accommodates various design elements. Whether you want to update cabinet hardware, switch out decor, or introduce new materials, neutral tones provide a harmonious base that easily adapts to different styles, ensuring your kitchen remains timeless and fresh.

3. Add Pops of Colour With an Open Wall Shelf

Use open wall shelves to display colourful containers in your neutral kitchen

Now you might wonder, what does an open wall shelf have to do with pops of colour? Well, you can use open wall shelves to display anything – have containers and units in colourful hues. In a neutral kitchen, those containers within open wall shelves will add a different dimension to your space.

4. Have a Layered Arrangement

Add depth and visual interest by having a layered arrangement

How to keep your kitchen looking timeless on a day-to-day basis? How do kitchens stay trending and stylish even on days you have a lot of cooking to do?

The answer is to have a layered arrangement. As Livspace Senior Stylist, Sunanda, says, “One of the ‘go to’ styling tricks in the kitchen is to create a layered arrangement resting against a wall or your backsplash. For example, a chopping board or two, salt and pepper grinders, and smaller decor pieces such as canisters or small bowls instantly add style to your kitchen.”

Opt for cabinets with different finishes or styles

How can you also design your kitchen in a way that it’s layered? Follow these 3 steps:

  • Incorporate various textures to bring tactile richness. Combine smooth surfaces like glass or glossy tiles with tactile ones such as wood, stone, or textured ceramics. Incorporate a mix of matte and shiny finishes to create contrast and depth
  • Select decor pieces with varying heights, textures, and shapes. Place decorative items on countertops, shelves, and even hanging from the ceiling, creating layers of interest that draw the eye
  • Start by selecting a complementary colour palette. Choose a neutral base for walls, cabinets, and countertops, and then layer in subtle hues for accents like backsplashes, decor, and textiles

5. Prioritise a Functional Layout

When you choose the right layout, you can even make a compact kitchen spacious

When designing a timeless kitchen, one of the fundamental principles to adhere to is prioritising functionality and creating a well-organised layout. This aspect not only contributes to the practicality of the space, but also plays a significant role in maintaining the enduring appeal of your kitchen design.

So, a well-thought-out layout ensures that the kitchen operates seamlessly.

In fact, begin by envisioning a “work triangle” that connects the stove, sink, and refrigerator in an efficient arrangement. This classic concept minimises unnecessary steps and optimises workflow, making meal preparation and cooking a breeze. Adequate counter space around these key areas allows for easy ingredient prep, cooking, and plating, enhancing the kitchen’s overall efficiency.
