In the middle of each year, there is a flutter of conversations in the design industry about the colour trends for the following year. We have listened to various predictions from The Colour Marketing Group, WGSN and Colouro and have extracted the top favourites for kitchens in Toronto in 2022. This year’s conversations were delayed as that scary global bug has been disruptive.
The overall sentiment is that neutral shades and moods will dominate storyboards. This will be interpreted through soft hues and medium pigments, but there will still be a small percentage of the marketing going for pure, vivid colours as a symbol of hope.
The leading colours for 2022 are green quartz, tech blue or bright blue, dahlia orange, military gold, buttercream and chocolate brown. Let’s look at each one:
Green Quartz
Green Quartz is a softer, understated green but not bland. Green dominates scientific conversations and interior design storyboards everywhere and will be strong in 2022! This timeless choice will work long into the future.
Tech Blue
Strong and positive, this colour is reminiscent of deep pits of organic, exotic indigo dyes. This clear shade of blue is the perfect choice for feature walls, island cabinetry and accessories.
Dahlia Orange
Orange has been favoured through the centuries as a creativity stimulant and a symbol of fun and avant-garde. The Dahlia flower is bold, bright and joyful, and that’s what you will see when you use this colour in your otherwise neutral kitchen.
Military Gold
Words that describe this colour are: serious, moody and nostalgic. This colourway will give a definite gravitas to your kitchen in Toronto.
Buttercream
An absolute classic – this neutral is famous in traditionally styled interiors but will also work brilliantly in a contemporary arrangement. Soft, nurturing and versatile, it works as well on the walls as on cabinetry doors and panels.
Chocolate Brown
An elegant option for a contemporary or classic interior. Deeply reminiscent of soil, bark, and cabins, expect an ambience of comfort, coziness and calm. On the flip side, it provides a strong contrast for other colours without being as dominant as black or charcoal.
The overall tip when choosing colour is to choose what you like, not what the trend experts say.
