Top 10 Kitchen Design Trends
Whether you’re building your home from the ground up or ready for a refresh, here are 10 kitchen design trends that will make the kitchen you favorite room in the house: 1) Soft Colors: If you love a timeless look, there’s nothing like soft-colored cabinets to give your entire kitchen a warm, welcoming vibe. Classic white or cream, as well as honey- or ash-toned cabinets, always look fresh and elegant and pair well with any flooring or backsplash. 2) Bold Color Combos: If you’re looking for a “wow” factor instead, nothing gives it better than unique and unexpected colors in the kitchen. Pick two shades that are opposites on the color wheel — one for cabinets and one for backsplash, for example — and marvel at how the bold contrast transforms your home. 3) Colorful Cabinets: From bright and bold to subdued and moody, colorfully painted cabinets are an easy and cost-effective way to reflect your personality and shift the aesthetic of your home. Your options are limited only by your imagination. 4) Hidden Appliances: If you're willing to splurge a bit on appliances, hidden ones can make your kitchen feel more spacious by creating the illusion of uninterrupted, wall-to-wall, cabinetry. From custom woodwork to painted facades, refrigerators, dishwashers, and range hoods are a few of the appliances that can disappear from sight. 5) Range Hoods as Focal Points: The range hood is a necessity, but it definitely shouldn't be an afterthought! Hoods come in a variety of silhouettes (elaborate or streamlined) and finishes (hammered metal, copper, marble), and the right one can become the statement piece of your entire kitchen. 6) Walk-In Pantries: When you're buying and preparing enough food for an entire family every day, a walk-in pantry is a kitchen essential. The large space keeps cereal, snacks, and other non-perishable goods, as well as lunchboxes, coolers, and anything else you need organized and out of the way. It's a must-have to maintain a clean and tidy kitchen! 7) Unique Island: An Island that’s a different color stain than the rest of the kitchen truly makes it stand apart and adds to its appeal. Try gray, navy, or medium-gray stain to contrast with lighter cabinets. 8) Fun Tile Patterns: Nothing catches the eye like a bold backsplash. Geo, hex, linear, penny, and cement tiles with repeated patterns are currently making noise. See what you’re drawn to the most! 9) Hints of Gold: Tossing in a bit of gold with a bold neutral like black goes a long way in the kitchen. You can try this sleek look with lighting, cabinet hardware, and plumbing fixtures. 10) Open Shelves: Contemporary and chic, open shelves are a great way to put your personality and style on display. They don’t have to replace cabinets completely, but the occasional open shelf is completely modern and makes a big statement. So much time is spent in the kitchen… why not turn it into a focal point?
