Autumn trends for the kitchen and bedroom
Autumn is here, and after so much time spent at home this spring, you surely haven't missed the latest trends for the home? The team at Freya Home has spotted two major trends in 2020 when it comes to kitchens and their cabinet fronts. These trends naturally also affect which handles and knobs will best suit dressers, cabinets and kitchen cabinet fronts.
Neutral colours in the kitchen are best combined with leather handles, black knobs and handles
Marbodal has launched a new kitchen collection called “Jordnära” with a base of neutral colours such as beige and grey. Details in materials and furnishings can create an inviting impression.
Which kitchen handles best suit cabinet fronts and cabinets in neutral colours? We think leather handles and brass handles are a particularly good match.
The Wrap in natural leatherLeather-wrapped handles for kitchen cabinet fronts
Leather-wrapped handles for kitchen cabinet fronts are already a modern classic in Swedish kitchens. There are a number of manufacturers, and we have carefully selected our leather handles The Wrap, as the wrapped leather gives a more sophisticated impression and feels better in the hand. The leather is vegetable-tanned and comes from Tärnsjö Garveri in Uppland. Our leather handles best suit the following colours: Marbodal kitchen ‘Hav’, ‘Moln’, and ‘Frost’.
There are a few things to consider when choosing the right leather handle. Sustainability aspects are definitely something we think about, and we notice that our customers prefer maintenance-free leather handles that are produced in a good way. Our leather handles The Wrap are produced in Sweden and are made of high-quality leather. If you want slightly more classic leather handles, we also have the The Loop collection, where you can choose from 6 different colours: Beige, Brown, Blue, Green, Black and Pink.
The Hexagon T-bar in brassBrass handles
Brass handles give a warm and inviting impression in kitchens and are ideally combined with this year's trend colours in earthy tones. We have many different styles of brass handles and brass knobs in our range so that everyone can find something for them. Our personal favourites are The Hexagon, The Stereo and The Ribbed. These three handles in solid brass give your kitchen cabinet fronts and cabinets a luxurious lift that brightens up your lovely new kitchen. We think our brass handles and brass knobs best suit the following colours: Marbodal kitchen “Tall” and also “Granit”.
Japandi - Japanese and Swedish elements
In kitchens and bathrooms, Swedish and Japanese elements are best combined with wooden knobs, soft brass handles and brass knobs.
This year it has become very popular to combine Swedish and Japanese style in kitchens and bathrooms, so-called Japandi. The Japanese influence is expressed in cabinet fronts and bathrooms ideally being in earthy, reddish wood tones. The reddish wood tone for cabinets, dressers and cabinet fronts is definitely the accent colour for this year.
Both the Scandinavian and Japanese styles are known for their clean lines and minimalism combined with harmonious cosiness. The combination of these can only be seen as a perfect match.
Which kitchen handles best suit cabinet fronts and cabinets in red tones? We think knobs and handles in wood and black kitchen handles will be seen more this year.
Wooden knobs and wooden handles
Wooden knobs and wooden handles look lovely on a dresser or cabinet in Japanese style. Wooden knobs help the dresser and cabinet retain their natural and inviting feel. Unfortunately we do not offer any wooden knobs at the moment, but there are a number of other manufacturers in Sweden.
Black handles and knobs
Black handles and knobs are a popular trend in 2020 and look lovely combined with the “Japandi” style. Black suits almost anything, as everyone knows, but we have to say that black handles really complement the reddish wood tone of Japanese style. For the kitchen, we recommend The Hexagon and The Double T, while for the dressers and drawers we would look at our T-bars.
Ahead of the coming autumn renovation, we see that many people are searching for the latest kitchen trends. We hope our tips give you a little more insight into the autumn trends of 2020 and that you will find our leather handles, brass handles and black handles can contribute to a more on-trend home.
