Kitchen Showrooms of the Future

Kitchen Showrooms of the Future?


Critics, technology commentators and members of the public alike are excited or sceptical about the future of virtual reality. Whatever your opinion is on VR, it can be agreed that this technology has the potential to be of massive impact to life as we know it. Perhaps one of the more unknown uses that could be used for virtual reality is the kitchen showroom. As we already have technology available to visualise and allow you to choose all of the certain design aspects of your kitchen, but what about using the power of virtual reality in the kitchen design world. Although prototype virtual reality simulations exist, they are not yet immersive and integrated with the ‘full virtual reality experience.’ Some are often very wary to vouch for the popularity of virtual reality and how far virtual reality will effect everything we do but there are many who believe that this technology will completely transform the world as we know it. Apart from being able to visualise your kitchen area, there’s a whole host of potential uses and applications for the rollout of virtual reality across the industry. With some companies branching out into basic use of virtual reality, you may be wondering what the full implications of virtual reality could have on the kitchen showroom and how this technology could help during the kitchen design process.

There’s a great deal of applications for virtual reality within kitchen showrooms. Kitchen showrooms are designed to show you what certain kitchen designs look like as well as showing you the latest trends in kitchen design. With our free 3D kitchen design service, you are already able to see how your kitchen will look and this is arguably ‘virtual reality technology.’ Using virtual reality headsets could take this a step further in the future, by allowing you to look at and choose every single small detail. It’s no doubt that you will have to consider a wide range of intricate details when designing your perfect new kitchen area and this could be helped with virtual reality. You will also be able to see a wide range of kitchen designs that differ to the ones that are displayed within the showroom. This lets you take a look at all of the latest kitchen design trends and feel as if you are actually viewing the kitchen rather than just looking at pictures online. With all of the design considerations that you need to think of when choosing your new kitchen area, virtual reality could be a very important and pivotal piece of technology in the future for kitchen showrooms. It just depends on how virtual reality is accepted as a part of life. But what do you think? Do you think that virtual reality is just another fad or a potential phenomenon that will take the world by storm? I think we will wait before casting any judgement but it could be a very exciting prospect for the industry in the future.


Winter Kitchen Design Trends of 2018 Discussed by Mode Designer Kitchens & Bedrooms

Winter Kitchen Design Trends

With summer being (sadly!) well and truly over, you may be thinking about the ways in which you can prepare or even transform your kitchen for winter. With the cold nights that are ahead as well as the chilly days, it’s only natural that you will want your kitchen area to be ready for the winter. Whether you want to have an area where you can relax and drink tea or cook up a hearty meal, there’s a number of ways that you are able to change the way that you can use your kitchen or the way that your kitchen looks.

As we have discussed in our other kitchen articles, it’s now clear to see that the kitchen has taken back its place fully as the heart of the home. With the lack of interest in dining rooms or the integration of dining room areas into the kitchen for an open floor kitchen design, the kitchen is where meals are prepared as well as likely eaten. This has seen the popularity of the kitchen island as well as other aspects such as integrated kitchens (to save space and to make the kitchen area seem more concise and tidy for guests.) These are largely reflected in some of the latest kitchen trends for winter as in the winter, it’s more important than ever to make your kitchen a cosy and inviting space for guests.
