Elevate your cooking space: Top kitchen mixer trends
The kitchen has long been at the heart of our homes. From making morning coffees to washing dishes after an evening meal, it’s a place where the family gathers and where guests pop in for a catch up.
Given this, it’s not surprising that we’ve all become very conscious of both the aesthetic and practical designs of our kitchens. However, with so many appliances and gadgets in these spaces, it’s important not to forget core features like our kitchen mixers and taps.
So here we’ll break down the latest trends in kitchen mixer designs and trends to help you find the perfect product.
Top kitchen mixer trends in 2023
1. Bringing back some vintage character
In 2023, vintage is the new modern when it comes to Australian kitchens. This trend can range from homeowners upcycling dressers and sideboards to achieve an overall rustic feel, to smaller choices regarding appliance decisions.
When it comes to your kitchen mixers and taps, an easy way to achieve this vintage style is by simply changing up the finish on your units. If you’ve traditionally gone for a stainless steel look, why not try mixing things up by selecting one of the 15 finishes available at Abey Australia. For example, this Gareth Ashton Lucia Sidelever Mixer in a Brushed Brass finish would go a long way to giving your kitchen sink a vintage farmhouse aesthetic. In fact, brass finishes in particular are proving very popular this year, being used in everything from oven handles to cabinetry, mixers and beyond.
On the subject of colours and finishes, another trend we’re noticing in Australian kitchens in 2023 is a move towards darker, natural earthy tones. Again, this is easy to achieve with finishes available at Abey Australia ranging from blacks and greys through to bronze, with blacks being our hot tip for this year.
2. Minimalist elegant designs
While the move away from ubiquitous stark whites might feel like a rejection of traditional Scandi design principles, this aesthetic’s focus on a minimalist approach to kitchen appliances and features remains as strong as ever.
One of the most effective ways to give your kitchen that minimalist feel is to emphasise clean lines. This can be achieved in many ways, for example through selecting neat cabinetry with uniform dimensions, but also through your choice of kitchen mixers.
The effortless clean lines featured on products like the Armando Vicario ISA Pull Out Kitchen Mixer put this unit firmly into the minimalist Scandi category, as well making it a highly functional addition to your kitchen.
3. Eco credentials
The kitchen can get a bad rep as a place where we use a lot of electricity and water and produce household waste. Therefore, given the overall emphasis on sustainability these days, it’s not surprising that Australians are looking for ways to make their kitchens more eco-friendly.
One of the ways you can do this is by looking for brands that put durability and sustainability at the heart of their products. At Abey Australia, we’re proud to stock products from several such designers. For example the award-winning manufacturer GESSI incorporates water-saving technology into every product, such as this elegant Proton Kitchen Mixer, which is made from 100% recyclable materials, proving that style and sustainability can comfortably go hand-in-hand.
