When designing your kitchen, you want the design and flow to cater to your needs and lifestyle. For other design aspects, however, you might want to consider current kitchen design trends that are relevant to your tastes and preferences. Utilizing these trends can not only tailor your kitchen to your wants but also create a desirable space that may even help you sell your home later down the line if necessary.
Interesting Combinations
Mixing textures, materials, and colors is being used right now to create kitchens that are visually interesting while also being warm and inviting. Mixing natural materials with man-made options or creating a nice contrast with white cabinetry and a dark kitchen island are some of the ways designers are creating kitchens that are comfortable to just hang out in.
Durable Materials
Tough, durable, and stain-resistant materials are a hot commodity in today’s kitchens. It’s best to spend less time dealing with damage, marks, and stains so you can spend more time doing what you love in your kitchen, whether that’s cooking, baking, or just having a nice meal with your friends and family. These long-lasting materials also allow you to enjoy your beautifully designed kitchen longer without needing replacements, and they’ll still look stunning if you decide to sell some years down the line.
Bold Design Aspects
Adding in a bold, eye-catching design element can create a centerpiece for your kitchen that everyone wants to talk about and admire. You can have a fully custom piece made to really make your kitchen design pop. Marble countertops are a popular choice, but custom hoods and ranges are also a current trend that is gaining popularity. These add some personal flair and a fun touch to any kitchen design.
Eco-Friendly Materials
Using natural, environmentally friendly materials is a great way to be a steward of the environment, creating a kitchen space that has a lower impact. That’s not the only reason this trend has taken off—using natural materials with a natural look brings the majesty of the outdoors inside, fostering a natural look and feel that’s comfortable and a little bit rustic. Using the current method of mixing materials can help these pieces stand out even more and create a balanced, cozy kitchen that everyone loves.
