The Latest Trends in Kitchen Design and Remodeling
Are you planning a new kitchen or renovating an existing one, there are plenty of ways to bring it up-to-date. A little creativity can go a long way. To inspire you on your next project, we’ve gathered the hottest trends in kitchen design and remodeling.
1. Antique or Vintage Furniture
When designing a kitchen, adding antique furniture can add character and charm. Investing in some rustic pieces such as scrubbed wooden tables and dressers is an ideal way to give off the impression of having lived in the space for some time.
2. Metal Accents
Kitchen design and remodeling trends are mixing warm copper, brass and gold with more sophisticated tones like nickel and chrome. Add some of these metals to your backsplashes, hoods and pendant lights for an eye-catching aesthetic that is sure to turn heads.
3. Farmhouse Style
A farmhouse kitchen is the ideal way to give your home a welcoming, natural atmosphere. This timeless design is ideal for families or those with young children in the house.
4. Open Concept Designs
An increasingly popular trend in kitchen design and remodeling is the open concept design. This allows homeowners to combine cooking and dining in one area, making it more functional for families than having separate areas.
5. Darker Hues in White Cabinetry
White kitchens are seeing a trend toward darker hues and more textured designs, which is seen across various design schemes.
6. Organic and Eco-Friendly Materials
Kitchen designs are increasingly looking towards nature-inspired elements, with materials like stone countertops, wood cabinetry and storage as well as metal accents playing an increasingly significant role in contemporary kitchens. Sierra Fallon (Lead Designer at Rumor Designs) predicts this trend will persist through 2023.
7. Double Kitchen Islands
With the popularity of open kitchen plans, more people are opting to incorporate large islands into their designs. Not only do these double island units provide extra seating and storage capacity, but they also create an eye-catching focal point in the room.
8. Industrial Style Bathroom Sinks
Incorporating industrial-inspired sinks into your bathroom design can give it a sleek, contemporary vibe. These sinks come in various shapes, sizes and finishes to accommodate any style of home.
9. Black Walls, Cabinetry and Work Surfaces
Though black has long been associated with ‘accent colors’, the neutral shade is seeing a resurgence in popularity. From contemporary to traditional kitchens alike, black works perfectly in all types of kitchen designs.
10. Black and White Patterned Tiles
Take a daring approach to your kitchen design by including tile work along the backsplash. Whether you opt for subway or mosaic tiles, this is an excellent way to add texture and personality without overcrowding it.
