Is your kitchen getting you down? There's nothing like changing the doors and panels of cabinets and drawers to give it a new, more up-to-date style. Natural, coloured, lacquered or textured, the panels are available in a variety of styles and materials, according to individual tastes and budgets.
Offering a wide selection of cutting-edge products, including six exclusive lines, Distribution 2020 – Division de Richelieu is the perfect place to get inspired and create a new contemporary design. Here are six trends covering kitchen panels.
Warm and modern, the laminated panels of the Syncron range reproduce the natural essences of wood.
The natural effect
The panels act as trompe-l'oeil and have fun imitating wood. Why opt for faux-bois? To benefit from its warm look, but without the upkeep and cost associated with high-value hardwoods.
The return to more natural shades is in full view on the laminated panels of the Syncron range which reproduce natural wood species, such as smoked oak and ash. This collection brings together modern structures with surprising and current visual effects.
Textures
Add texture to your cabinets! Resistant, affordable and trendy, the panels of the Nature Plus range are made of particles with a thermosynchronized surface which reproduce the relief and the natural aspect of wood grain. The illusion is to be mistaken!
The choice is vast: different lines, colors and finishes are offered, as well as five door models, to match the style of each kitchen. A tip: vary the layouts. By opting for lighter shades on the upper cabinets and dark or gray shades on the bottom, this transformation will bring light and freshness to the room.
At the forefront of the market, Ze nit panels and doors are covered with a high quality resistant lacquer.
Lacquers
The audacity of lacquer is displayed everywhere in the house with the Brillanté collection, whether on panels in the kitchen, in the bathroom or in the living room. Vivid, rich colors command attention with their glossy finishes whose UV-cured lacquer resistance lends a modern and elegant touch.
For its part, the Zenit collection of panels presents itself as the new European trend in matte finishes. Using state-of-the-art UV technology, Zenit doors and panels keep their shine for many years. The possibilities for styles and functionality are virtually endless.
Dare to use color accents and contrasts with Harmony acrylic panels.
Long live the colors!
This fall, the kitchen is warming up with natural shades, such as cream, gray and rich browns, or even when in contact with accent colors that form attractive contrasts.
What colors will be in vogue in 2019? The famous house of shades Pantone notably offers the Cravings palette (which means cravings), which has its source directly in cooked dishes and food. Olive greens, gourmet oranges and spicy reds are always present in the kitchen trends for 2019.
Several ranges offer a wide selection of colors at Distribution 2020. Offering quality products, the Harmony range of acrylic panels creates a strong visual impact with its intense and rich colors that can cover a large area or set off as accents.
