厌倦了灰色和中性的厨房设计?想要一点色彩来提神?不用再找了,新的“Kitschen”趋势就是您一直在寻找的色彩更新,可以为您的家增添一丝活力。 

随着今年各种富有表现力的厨房潮流的涌现,很明显我们正在摆脱平淡无奇,更倾向于色彩缤纷的色调和奇特的配饰。这解释了为什么许多人放弃了“极简豪华装饰”,转而选择更加华丽的“Kitschen”潮流。 

在接受 Pinterest 英国家居主管 Matt Siberry 采访时,他解释说,过去三个月里,“折衷厨房装饰”的搜索量增长了 9 倍。他说:“这种趋势的流行似乎受到了烹饪创造力的启发,因为人们希望将烹饪美味佳肴所投入的冒险精神与装饰室内空间相匹配。” 

什么是“厨房”趋势?

考虑一下“Kitschen”趋势,它是厨房装修中性、安全、安静、奢华设计选择的解药。好消息是,如果您喜欢多巴胺装饰,那么这种趋势肯定适合您。 

“过去几年,极简主义和低调奢华风盛行,白色、奶油色和米色等色彩成为人们青睐的焦点,‘Kitchens’ 潮流势必会为我们的烹饪区注入一些色彩,”Matt 解释道。“从旧货到复古风格的电器,随着人们寻求提升复古风格,明亮的绿色和紫红色正成为焦点。” 

尽管厨房设计中会犯很多常见错误,但要适应最新的室内油漆颜色趋势并在不牺牲个人风格的前提下实现室内装饰趋势, 当然是一门艺术。

因此,虽然媚俗趋势与色彩、不拘一格的配饰和流行的图案有关,但您可以根据自己和家庭的需求来发展这种趋势。 

下面就教您如何在自己的家中打造这样的外观…

1. 选择你喜欢的风格

潮流来来去去,尽管媚俗风格已经伴随我们几十年,但您可能不太愿意用明亮的粉色和蓝色重新装饰整个厨房。然而,著名厨具品牌Denby的设计总监Richard Eaton 表示:“您可以通过多种方式将‘媚俗’注入到您自己的厨房空间中。”

Even if it feels like you just achieved the stainless steel kitchen trend and now fancy something a litter kitschier, then don’t fret. “Some like retro 50s or 70s while others prefer a more rustic farmhouse style of kitchen,” explains Richard. “Before adding your quirky decor, decide what kind of look you’re going for, as this will help guide your colour palette, patterns and accents.”

2. Pick a fun colour palette

Although the common thread of the Kitsch look is retro pastels, there are still a plethora of paint colour ideas for kitchen cabinets or look for in accessories. Richard says, “Pink is set to be the colour of the year in our culinary spaces, as Pinterest searches for ‘retro pink kitchens’ are up 40%.”

However, if Barbiecore isn’t quite your style then there are a few more statement kitschy colours to choose from. “Pinterest searches for ‘green kitchen paint’ are up 55% as interior décor fans add some natural luxe to their spaces,” continues Richard. Take inspiration from Sienna Millers’ pale pink and green Kitchen which gives us major flashbacks to grandma’s house but in a chic way of course.

Even if conventional pastels aren’t your thing, finding a bright and playful colour palette that will work for you is always an option and 2024 is the year to do it. Crown Paint revealed its 2024 colour trend insights and palettes, with their Escape palette being the epitome of ‘kitschy fun’.

“Inspired by colours from old holiday photographs, keepsakes and vintage movie sets, Escape is a pastel-coloured sensory getaway for interiors,” says Kathryn Lloyd, an expert colour Consultant at Crown Paint. “The palette feels retro and quirky, but remains modern by creating a sense of the surreal, encouraging decorators to break away from the mould and let their creativity run free.”

3. Try to add patterened elements

It’s not just colour blocking and cupboard makeovers that can give you a kitsch look, Richard also suggests incorporating some fun and funky patterned elements, big or small. He explains, “Quirky kitchens wouldn’t be complete without some pattern. Try to incorporate at least one or two prints to get the look.”

Prints are an extremely quick and easy way to inject a little life and personality into your space, especially your kitchen. Another great advantage is that if you change your mind or want to swap the look of your space it’s just a matter of changing the print or taking down the frame. Swapping artwork between the kitchen and another room is a great way to restyle a bedroom or transform a living room on a budget.

“You can choose botanical designs such as ditsy florals for a ‘kitschy’ farmhouse style or incorporate bold geometric patterns for a retro-inspired kitchen. Alternatively, go whimsical with themed motif prints, adding even more personality to your space,” suggests Richard.

4. Make the most out of the decor you have

Redecorating can be an expensive undertaking, especially when you’re trying to keep up with ever-evolving trends. Changing your Japandi kitchen to a kitschen-inspired space is no walk in the park and might put you back a few hundred pounds but there are ways to make a kitchen look expensive on a budget without sacrificing the fun.

Luckily there are some shortcuts and easy ways to incorporate the kitsch without breaking the bank and that starts with making the most out of what you already have.

“A new lick of paint and trying new wallpaper trends are quick and easy ways to instantly transform your decor,” says Richard. “If you want to go for a really bold look, consider painting your kitchen cabinets or adding patterned vinyl wrap.”

You can also swap out small things, such as placemats and dinner candles, for a more colourful alternative which will instantly transform your space without having to buy a whole new kitchen. Consider adding a new le Creuset colour to your cookware set to inject a splash of colour, or exploring the colourful new kitchen appliance trends to add bolder block colours to your space.

5. Incorporate some vintage elements

Another way to achieve the kitsch trend without purchasing all new things and blowing your budget is by adding vintage and pre-loved elements to your space.

Whether it’s repurposing your knick-knacks from the 70s-inspired design trend or heading to the charity shop to find new treasures, bringing something a little retro is a super efficient way of adding kitschy character to your kitchen.

“Plates can be used as wall decor while jugs and teapots make great vases. What better way to show off your personality than with objects you already love,” explains Richard.

He also points out how this trend allows you the perfect opportunity to search for some vintage gems too. Whether that’s at your favourite antique store, your local charity shop or perhaps in your very own loft.


If you’re ready to embrace the quirky vibes of the ‘kitschen’ trend then these steps will have you living in your retro dream kitchen in no time. Embracing bold colours, funky patterns and vintage accessories will bring a whole new level of character and good vibes to your cooking space.

马特说得最好,“你真的可以让这种趋势成为你自己的,看到人们在自己的室内风格中发挥创造力、激发乐趣是件很棒的事情。”
