EuroCucina Previews Kitchen Design Trends 2022

Every two years, in conjunction with the Salone del Mobile, Fiera Milano Rho in Milan hosts EuroCucina, one of Europe’s major trade shows for kitchen design. As part of our trip to Italy to attend this summer’s Salone del Mobile, we had the opportunity to visit EuroCucina as well.

Especially after a 3-year hiatus due to the COVID pandemic, we were very excited to visit EuroCucina to check out kitchen design trends 2022.

In its 23rd edition, EuroCucina showcased a wide range of high-quality products, displaying the latest collections from 82 companies from around the world, bringing together interior designers and other design professionals with top manufacturers.

What all the companies we visited had in common was their focus on contemporary design, technological innovation, next generation performance, energy efficiency and ease of use.

Since the last edition of EuroCucina in 2018, the saying that the kitchen is the heart of the home has taken on new significance. The kitchen has become much more than a functional space. It is increasingly being turned into a living area where families get together not only for cooking but also for spending more time in.

This transition has had an impact in how kitchens are being designed and the elements incorporated into them as they become more multi-functional. Let’s review the kitchen design trends 2022 at EuroCucina that really made an impression on us!

KITCHEN LAYOUTS

Our general impression was that kitchen design 2022 goes beyond the classic kitchen layout options. At EuroCucina, one interesting trend we noticed was a layout in which a breakfast table was connected to the island or islands to complement the space in an atypical way.

Another trend was the combination of different finishes and geometric shapes, allowing the kitchen to have more functional space.

In this image, you can see how a round table top overlaps part of the kitchen island. This set-up allows the space to accommodate a breakfast table, while creating an interesting design contrast.

Here is another example, shown in a kitchen with a lighter mood, in which the calacatta marble island is in contrast to the oval wood table. The light fixture above the table emphasizes the table area, making it feel cozier while delineating the space.

This kitchen layout caught our eye because of the floating wood piece connecting both islands. This creative layout idea makes the space feel open and airy. Together with the light fixtures and texture combinations, it created an impactful design.

CONNECTING KITCHEN ISLANDS

In this setting, an oval table connects two kitchen islands. If your kitchen has enough room for two islands, this kitchen design trend is a great idea, because they can be connected with an atypical shape. Here, the oval table in a different finish can seat two people, creating a more casual breakfast area.

LET’S ADD GREEN!

We previously shared a blog about green dominating as the hot color at Salone del Mobile 2022. It was no different at EuroCucina where we made note of the abundance of green. Here a few examples:

What About the Green Marble Island?

While I’m a big fan of green marble, I’m not sure about incorporating it into an entire kitchen island. Our preference is for using it as a focal point or a connecting element, as shown in the photos below.
