Kitchen trends for 2009

Thinking about going for a brand new look for your kitchen this year? We've been trend spotting to find the latest looks for 2009.

Mix and match units

Can’t decide which colour door front you prefer? Then why not have them both? Providing the design of door fronts is the same, you can use a mix of colours to get an eclectic look. Just don’t get carried away - avoid mixing more than two different colour door fronts and make sure you team them with a fairly neutral worktop that complements both your colour choices, or the end result could look a little garish. "Combining different units is a brilliant way to create an individual-looking kitchen," says Charlotte Duckworth from Homes & Gardens.
