We all know what the home of our dreams should look like. And the moment the dream becomes reality, we try to decorate it in our own image. Because it is known, our home reflects us.

And this applies to all rooms, but especially to the kitchen: a place not only where meals are prepared, but also a corner of conviviality and gathering with friends and relatives. For this reason it must possess certain indispensable features: practical and functional, but with the comforts of a cozy room. We especially felt the need for a multifunctional kitchen during lockdown periods, which heightened the feeling of sharing and also became a place for work and study.

The trends for kitchens in 2022 are going in precisely this direction: an environment marked by modernity and technology, but always refined and convivial, joining the living area to create a fluid environment, sharing spaces and functions, and changing as needed. To meet these needs, minimalist design is the one chosen for the most: modular kitchens are chosen where the various components can appear and disappear as needed, under the banner of a discreet and adaptable corner: from countertops to pantries, from hoods to cooktops, everything is designed to be there but not to be seen.

Among the many established brands that offer kitchens, Binova is certainly the one that comes closest to these trends, with kitchens that create a single line with the living area and where attention to detail and discretion take center stage. One example is the Scava Kitchen, whose basic idea is “when subtraction becomes function“: a peninsula kitchen all to explore, with the feeling of living in a complete interaction between person and space.

Binova is also in line with trendy materials and colours. The watchword for the materials used in homes in 2022 is eco-sustainable: natural wood is the one most chosen for its refinement as well as for its being as it is; then there is marble, used for the sinks and worktops and glass, which acts as a separator, but with the brightness that distinguishes it.

Metallic hues are all the rage: from bronze, copper, and gold to aluminum or steel, juxtaposed with white or black for contrast.

The kitchens of 2022 are therefore pure avant-garde with an eye to the themes of sustainability and conviviality.
