Kitchen quotes for 2011 'becoming more cautious'

Kitchen quotes for 2011 'becoming more cautious' A design commentator suggests that homeowners are becoming more "cautious" with their choice of kitchen quotes for 2011.Next year's kitchen quotes could see a more "cautious" approach from homeowners, a commentator has suggested.

Writing for the Edinburgh Evening News, Gina Davidson said that the elements of "bling" prevalent in recent trends, such as "sparkly black granite worktops, high-gloss units [and] bigger and bolder US-style fridge freezers" are giving way to more natural materials and organic shapes.

Paul O'Brien, business development director at Kitchens International, said: "The 'natural look' is the key kitchen trend at the moment, with customers favouring natural materials such as wood or textured lacquered materials which give depth and character."

The expert went on to say that customers are drawn towards more timeless styles during difficult economic times, in order to get more mileage from their designs.

Last week, a writer for PadStyle.com suggested that people should consider using layered flooring in their kitchen quotes, as it will add richness and warmth to the room.
