Vibrantly colorful and presented in an array of surprising shapes that defy expectation, Le Creuset is designed to live on display.

In keeping with Le Creuset’s promise to deliver iconic products that maximize the joy of preparing and presenting, the brand today unveiled “ The Final Touch Forecast,” spotlighting five kitchen and home décor predictions that provide inspirational advice and insight to anyone looking to elevate their aesthetic through the art of the “final touch.”
Developed in partnership with industry leading interior designers Ariel Okin and Dabito, and lifestyle expert Peter Som, Le Creuset’s forecast details how to seamlessly blend colors, materials and delightful surprises to bring self-expression and creativity to life:
- Embrace Bold: Maximalist seeks mixed materials, patterns galore and a distinctly handcrafted sensibility shines through every corner of the kitchen, from glazed tiles to drawer pulls. Evoke nostalgia with rich, warm, saturated colors. Deep Artichaut green. Midnight Matte Navy blue. The wine-inspired Merlot tones of Rhône. Take it further with a patterned tiled backsplash. Paint floorboards, wallpaper, ceilings. Colorful appliances, baking dishes and serving pieces on shelves add visual appeal and contrast.
- Nod To Neutral: A minimal aesthetic for maximum effect. Seek simplicity of form in neutral, natural colors like Meringue, Shallot, Oyster and Sea Salt for cookware and dinnerware. Natural materials like wood and stone can also anchor a space. A single slab material wrapped around the counter to provide organic continuity. And then add warmth with ceruse textured wood cabinetry or Zellige tiles with supple textures. Fewer brushstrokes, more to love. Now it has that personal touch.
- Cozy Up Country: The new wave of farmhouse chic is here. Out with the all-white décor, aim for a palette that adds in period-authentic, rich colors like Olive, Nectar, Licorice, and of course, iconic Flame. Reclaimed wooden tables, shelves displaying your most used Dutch Oven, antique pieces, and unexpected elements like a China cabinet filled with favorite mixing bowls and tools will make your home feel personal, inviting and “lived in.” Cozy, chic, and comfortable.
- Seek Sanctuary: Let your kitchen feed you in more ways than one – body, heart, and soul. More than merely functional, it provides an oasis to recharge, refresh, refocus on self-care. Even the process and rhythms of cooking can be relaxing as well. To help find that sense of zen, lean on color palettes that soothe. The serene turquoise blue waters of Caribbean are recharging. White encourages you to slow down. Warm greys create calm.
- Combine New With Vintage: Put your most beloved keepsakes to use as pieces of kitchen curio. Blend your latest finds with all things old-timey, vintage, and thrifty – and surround yourself with items, both new and old, that mean something to you. Think Grandma’s Dutch Oven and your registry dinnerware. When everything old is new again, it’s easier to find your personal style and your home becomes a collection of memories in motion, conversation starters, and nuanced personal touches.
“Le Creuset is more than cookware. These coveted culinary companions double as beautiful and unexpected works of art that invite the eye and effortlessly telegraph one’s personal taste,” says Christopher Scinto, SVP Marketing & Sales at Le Creuset. “Whether consumers’ taste leans minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in-between, The Final Touch Forecast provides ways for everyone to express themselves.”
