8 Kitchen Trends to Update your Home

1. Mixed Cabinetry

White kitchens are here to stay. They can make any space appear larger and brighter. Darker wood cabinetry is a popular choice for islands or lower cabinets to offer a contrast and updated look. The two-tone cabinets can be done in a variety of colors such as white and grey or white with off-white.  

 

2. Flat-Panel Cabinets

Update your kitchen with contemporary flair. These flat door styles will make your kitchen look sleek and modern. Consider incorporating a detailed or patterned backsplash to add texture and individualize the space. 

 

3. Large Eat-In Islands

Make the most of your space by increasing the functionality. There is an evident decline in the use of traditional kitchen tables and an increase in island counter space doubling as a surface for eating. 

 

4. Fireplaces in the Kitchen

A fireplace can become the focal point of the kitchen. This trend also goes both ways in that it can be traditional or contemporary depending on the space. A two-sided fireplace provides a gentle separation of rooms and adds a luxurious touch. 

 

5. Wine Fridge & Beer Tap 

Love to entertain? Then this trend is for you. An updated kitchen complete with a wine fridge is perfect for parties with friends or for everyday use. Get the most out of your space by incorporating a wine fridge, beer tap or both! 

 

6. Cabinets to the Ceiling 

Not only does this give you additional space for storage, but it also elongates the wall and gives an illusion of height. This alteration will give your kitchen a fresh look in the style of your choice. It is aesthetically pleasing and will stop your cabinets from becoming dust collectors. 

 

7. Accent Cabinets 

Accent cabinets are a great way to show off your dishes or display decorative pieces. They can be easily intermixed among other cabinets to show as much or little as you wish. These specialty pieces can even be placed in islands or at the ends of peninsulas. 

 

8. Apron Front Sinks

Farmhouse sinks offer the function of a large single or double bowl and closer proximity for washing. They can be finished in fireclay, porcelain, copper and stainless steel, which will let the homeowners personalize their space. It is a focal point of the kitchen and can accommodate oversized pots and pans.
