The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. Not only do you likely use it every day, but it’s also vital to the resale value of your house if you ever decide to put it on the market. Whether you want to renovate it for yourself or increase its value, it’s an indispensable area to pay attention to. But you don’t need to make significant changes to the space to boost your home’s worth.
According to Vevano, the smallest renovations have the highest return on investment, roughly 80.5{61deb032f2f3cf43cd91e0a97f017aab274ddbb67b74a5b085bd003b9ac3cd96}. One of the smallest and, in some cases, easiest renovations you can make is via your kitchen sink. It can be as simple as changing out the faucet hardware to installing a new basin entirely, but it’s generally much more straightforward than reflooring or replacing larger appliances. There are endless options for updating your kitchen through the kitchen sink, including color, materials, designs, shapes, and more.
1. Black drainboard sink

Drainboard sinks allow you to conveniently stack dishes and glasses or rinse off food in the sink, allowing the water to drain into the basin mess-free. A black drainboard sink has a slightly edgy, rustic, industrial-inspired look, which can be enhanced or left to stand out on its own.
2. Brass faucet
Spruce up a plain single basin sink with an eye-catching faucet. A warm-toned brass faucet goes wonderfully with a bright white kitchen and marble countertops, making your kitchen look chic and luxurious.
3. Black farmhouse sink

Farmhouse sinks aren’t just convenient but visually intriguing additions to your kitchen. If you want to avoid a rustic, farmhouse look, but want the effect of the sink, choose a black basin, which gives it a slightly modern edge — especially in a brighter kitchen.
4. Corner sink

Picking a place to put your sink can be as challenging as choosing a style. If you have an awkward corner or bend in your counters, don’t count it out as a place to install your sink. It makes the appliance much more intriguing and can transform even the plainest sink into something visually interesting.
5. Gold hardware
What hardware you choose for your sink is just as, if not more, necessary than the sink itself. Pick a shiny, reflective gold color for your faucet and other sink hardware to liven up a plain sink or highlight a dramatic, large basin.
6. Double sinks

One sink may not be enough if you cook a lot or have a busy household. Two sinks allow you to contrast designs — one sink can be classic and sleek, the other traditional and vintage. One could be chrome, the other steel. Play around with colors, sizes, and designs.
7. Oval-shaped sink
Square sinks may be the standard in most kitchens, but there’s no rule against varying shapes. An oval or circular-shaped sink is much softer and goes well with similarly muted colors and design choices.
8. Brass basin

Don’t limit colorful metals to your faucets. Brass sink basins are not only eye-catching and appeal to your kitchen, but they also have the sanitary properties of other metals. Just make sure to keep up with the necessary maintenance.
9. White farmhouse sink
If you like bright and clean kitchens, then a large, white farmhouse sink is a perfect addition. Add chrome or gold hardware to your faucet and cabinets to tie it in seamlessly with the rest of your kitchen.
10. Classic steel basin

Steel may not be as flashy as brass or gold, but it is just as practical and visually effective in your kitchen. Clean, square silhouettes can help emphasize the minimalist, clean-cut nature of the metal.
11. Chrome faucet

Chrome is another excellent finish for your sink hardware, adding more dimension and intrigue than simple stainless steel.
12. Rounded double basin

A simple, divided, double basin can be plain or sterile for your tastes. Instead, opt for a rounded double basin with a rounded, integrated design.
13. Smooth gold sink
KelaVi/Shutterstock
Instead of just a gold faucet, go for a double gold faucet and sink basin. This adds warmth and color to your kitchen and goes great with other gold hardware or appliances.
14. Modern spout faucet

While some things, like your actual basin, are more difficult to swap, the faucet is a little easier to update. If you want a slightly modern, contemporary edge, swap out your basic straight spout faucet for a more minimalist design.
15. Vintage bridge faucet
On the other hand, if you want to make your kitchen feel a little more vintage, a simple bridge faucet with vintage detailing can go a long way to enhancing any other antique vibes in your kitchen, like butcher block countertops.
16. Copper basin and gold faucet
CSD Dmitriy Tikhonenko/Shutterstock
Mix and match metals with your faucet and sink — gold or brass for the tap, detailing, drainboard, and copper for the basin. Pair with other warm colors to integrate it seamlessly into your kitchen.
17. Black vintage faucet
Switlana Sonyashna/Shutterstock
If you want vintage touches without going overboard, choose a faucet with a vintage design in a modern color, like black. Pair with a plain, simple white basin for a pop of vintage inspiration without committing too much to the aesthetic.
18. Minimalist gooseneck faucet

Gooseneck faucets are one of the most popular styles. Give it a minimalist edge with a square, U-shaped design instead of the classic rounded configuration. Dark, matte shades like black for your sink and faucet help accentuate the design.
19. Simple single basin

Your kitchen sink doesn’t need to be flashy to be an excellent addition to your kitchen. A simple white ceramic top-mount basin with a chrome or steel faucet is classic, adaptable, and timeless.
20. Raised stone basin
Chamomile_Olya/Shutterstock
On the other hand, if you want to make a statement with your kitchen sink, choose a raised basin. Add character by selecting a stone material and a gold, vintage-style faucet.
21. Pop of blue

Your kitchen sink can also add a pop of color to the room. Keep it subtle with a darker, more natural shade, like a stone blue. Pair with more pigmented variations of the color throughout the kitchen — cabinets, paint, decorations, etc.
22. Natural stone basin

Add stone touches in a more understated way through your basin. Choose a natural, tan, or cream color to keep it simple, paired with a chrome faucet and other masonry details — stone countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, etc.
Pink kitchens, reeded glass cabinets and freestanding furniture are some of the biggest kitchen trends for 2023.
As the role of the kitchen continues to evolve, bespoke designs, colour preferences and a range of materials and finishes will help to personalise this space that’s become the hub of family activity.
‘The kitchen is the heart of the home and homeowners are constantly demanding more from this room. A place to cook, eat, work, rest and entertain, we want a stylish space that not only looks good but brings practical value into our daily lives – from clever storage solutions to islands, breakfast bars and more,’ says Josie Medved, Design Project Manager at Symphony Group PLC.
‘Homeowners who are looking to renovate, remodel or reconfigure their kitchen want to be the first to know of the latest design trends and how they can integrate these into their own space.’
So on that note, here are 10 big kitchen trends for 2023.
1. Playful pinks
While greens and blues still very much have a place on the ‘top kitchen colours’ list, pink is making a comeback. ‘From hot to blush pink, the demand for painted pink kitchens is on the up,’ says Al Bruce, founder of Olive & Barr.
Pair pink cabinetry with white or light grey to soften the space, or for contrast, pair pale pink with darker colours such as black or dark grey to create depth.

Husk
HUSK, the ‘IKEA hack’ kitchen specialist providing handmade door and drawer fronts, has launched a new on-trend collection for a budget-friendly kitchen update in 2023. The vibrant Terra taps into the current playful pink trend in interiors.
‘Pink, peach and scarlet tones seems to be everywhere right now, this is definitely the colour to watch in 2023 and it chimes with our experience that many homeowners are looking for warm rosy tones that bring joy and are making bolder colour choices that lift the mood,’ explains Dave Young, founder of HUSK.
If you don’t fancy pink cabinets, you could also experiment with pink on your walls. A move towards colour confidence has led to an increasing demand for colour in the kitchen, which is especially useful in an open plan layout to make the look and feel of cooking, dining and socialising spaces feel harmonious.
2. Concealed breakfast stations
2023 is the year for intelligent internal storage solutions, particularly breakfast pantries and clever drawer ideas – the focus here is storage that you can hide away when not in use.
Tom Howley, Design Director of the eponymous kitchen brand, lists the benefits of a breakfast pantry: ‘They can incorporate your entire morning, from a professional coffee machine, toaster, storage for everyday crockery and a whole host of cereal options for the kids. The best thing is that once you’ve had enough, you can close the doors behind you, concealing all the mess and clutter until it’s time to tidy.’
Annie Tullett, Designer at Tom Howley’s Cheltenham Showroom, says we should pay particular attention to the ‘bi-folding pantry’, which is a must for every modern kitchen. ‘The unwavering, clever versatility of it is hard not to be impressed by. Not only do you have the initial Narnia’s Wardrobe moment when you open the doors to reveal how much storage space is inside, but the functional possibilities are endless,’ Annie explains.
‘You could use it as a breakfast station each morning, neatly tucking the mess of coffee machine and toaster away, yet, at the next evening soiree it can transform into a cocktail bar – simply line the spirits and mixers up, stack the glasses and jars of garnish ingredients above and let your guests help themselves!’
A move away from the traditional, more and more homeowners are looking to add freestanding furniture into their kitchen designs. ‘While fitted kitchens are unlikely to ever go out of style, the request for freestanding pieces is on the rise,’ reveals Al. ‘Rather than kitchen islands, we’re seeing an uptake in bakers tables – similar to a kitchen island, but on legs. This freestanding piece makes the island feel like a piece of furniture while still having all of the benefits of a usual island with deep drawers and a place to perch.’
And this isn’t limited to kitchen islands either – freestanding larders are growing in popularity too, combining functionality and style.

4. Reeded glass
Reeded glass is back, perfect for adding textural contrast and enhancing depth. Here, Al explains the trend: ‘Reeded glass is having a full revival and makes a great addition to either glass cabinets, worktop dressers or within the bakers tables. This stylish upgrade gives the kitchen a contemporary twist and is perfect for disguising everyday tableware which isn’t always display-worthy.’
5. Mixing metallics
Mixed metals is one of 2023’s biggest kitchen trends, according to Richard Davonport, Managing Director at Davonport Kitchens, and choosing the right mix can create a statement and focal point in your design.
‘2023 is a year when we’ll see a lot more blending of different finishes in the kitchen, from brass to bronze, to stainless steel and nickel to many other options,’ Richard says. ‘Our recommendation is to stick with two or three metal finishes to keep a cohesive look throughout, while also working to a 70/30 ratio. Pick a dominant metal finish (the 70 per cent) and coordinate it with accent metals (the 30 per cent). By sticking to these rules, you can create a visually rich and exciting space.’
Mixed metals aren’t confined to one style of kitchen, such as traditional or contemporary, either. ‘There is one final thing to consider when looking at mixing your metals. As a general rule of thumb, don’t choose the same metal but in a different finish e.g. chrome/brushed chrome,’ he adds.
6. Marble effect
Marble in kitchen design schemes exude a chic, understated yet refined elegance, and for 2023 we’ll be seeing more colours coming through to create a truly bespoke look.
‘Natural marbles have always been a staple in kitchen design as they not only offer a true sense of luxury and timeless appeal, but they are also durable and easy to maintain,’ says Claire O’Brien, Head of Design at Splashback.co.uk. ‘Whilst the ever-familiar clean and crisp Carrara and Calacatta veins are still perennial favourites, we are now seeing a move towards embracing a more colourful marble. These natural marbles have a striking presence and a depth of beauty that is totally unique. Often, colours blend, and tones mix across the surface of the marble – making each piece one of a kind.’
Melissa Klink, Creative Director at Harvey Jones, agrees that marble and marble-inspired materials are still in high demand: ‘It feels so timeless and classic in the finished appearance. Stunningly beautiful and full of character and charm, you can make such an impactful statement applying marble in the right way, or even as a hidden moment within a pantry larder or breakfast dresser.’
7. The feature splashback
Splashbacks are taking centre stage this year. Supersize feature splashbacks offer a simple and effective way to add glamour and utility whilst complementing an existing design scheme.
‘In recent years we have seen the worktop material carried right up the wall up to the underside of the cabinets or shelving. Now we are cutting off the edge of the backsplash and making more of a feature out from it. Adding careful curves and delicate finishes really elevates the sophistication in a kitchen and amplifies the beauty of the stone when you can see it from various angles,’ explains Melissa.
Jayne Everett, Design Director at Naked Kitchens, also notes: ‘As with other kitchen features, splashback trends change variously over time and recently we have seen more of the feature tile throughout kitchens. Whether this be using bold colours, patterns, surface textures or tile formations, it is the perfect way to inject some charm into a kitchen.’
8. Black is back – but with a natural twist
There’s a demand for dark, moody and dramatic kitchens but we’ll be seeing more of a natural twist for 2023. Embracing natural materials helps to pare back an all-black, unapologetically bold kitchen scheme, reducing the drama but still holding impact.
‘Although this can look striking in the kitchen design, one has to be careful not to overdo it and to combine black with softer colours or natural materials to make the overall effect far more liveable and long-lasting,’ Jayne advises.
9. Accessories to add flair
As a room we spend so much time, it makes sense that we curate it to our tastes, and fill it with treasures. ‘Incorporating additional pieces beyond the main furniture of the space is a fun way to add personality to a kitchen. Antiques, family heirlooms, unique vintage items will become even more popular to intermix with the standard cabinetry pieces,’ says Melissa.

Vintage dining tables that transform into a central island, wood shelving, and found objects all help to create a unique look.

11. Eco credentials
Sustainability is a huge factor influencing purchasing decisions across the board, and it’s no different when it comes to the kitchen. ‘As expected, a consideration to work with sustainably conscious brands is becoming more prevalent,’ says Melissa.
There’s a focus on how materials are sourced, what materials are used, and how to save money whilst renovating. ‘Sustainability is not a trend – it’s a way of life now for many homeowners and this is something that will continue to develop and evolve over time, as our homes become ever-more environmentally conscious,’ adds Josie.
For example, Used Kitchen Exchange offers used and ex-display kitchens for sale, encouraging consumers to rethink how they buy a kitchen and save thousands of pounds in the process, all whilst helping to offset their carbon footprint. Elsewhere, Magnet recently launched its sustainable Rehome initiative, where customers can trade in their pre-loved kitchen when buying a new one.
In fact, Mindful World, a new concept kitchen by Magnet, offers a perfect blend of sustainability, craftsmanship and functionality. ‘With its recycled sea plastic handles, ethically sourced and carbon neutral worktop, energy efficient LED lighting and the world’s first natural quartz composite sink, this range was designed with our planet in mind by bringing it back to basics without compromising on design,’ explains Amanda Douglas-Slater, Head of Product Sustainability at Magnet.

Opt for Blues and Whites
A blue-and-white color palette never fails to bring a cheerful mood to a room.

A few paintings and brass accents complete the look.
