1 THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
According to Charlene Le Roux of Easylife Kitchens, decorative pendants in matte black and glass are in for 2020 and are ideal for adding sophistication to open-plan kitchens. For a focal point that makes a statement, look for oversized fittings that can also provide task lighting for prep work.
2 TERRIFIC TERRAZZO
Pattern and texture are top trends at the moment and one way to introduce them to a kitchen is with terrazzo. This classic look has been around for years and is now available in porcelain tiles, which can be used on both floors and walls and are easy to lay and maintain. Terrazzo Grigio 600 x 600mm porcelain tiles, R320,85 each, WOMAG.
