Bob's expert commentary on 2022 kitchen trends
Bob Bakes and Paul Kropp of Bakes & Kropp have managed to strike a perfect design and craftsmanship partnership.
I’m excited to see that people are becoming increasingly more experimental in their design choices, from mixing metals to integrating a variety of textures. It’s a development of expression we are seeing which I think will continue. This broadened, more inspired vision for design is resulting in spaces that demonstrate a clever and thoughtful balance of different looks.
2022 will be a continuation of the sense of expression that we are seeing in 2021. People are steering clear of true minimalism and are opting for a structured modern twist with some softer elements. We will continue to see a trend towards vibrancy and expression.
