Trends in Kitchen Design

Designing your kitchen, whether all new or remodeled, is an arduous task. Take a few tips from the current trends to create a space that suits your needs.

Trend 1: Gray Cabinets
Gray is in and we love it. Why? It’s the perfect neutral. Here are a few ways to use it.

Get painting! Modernize your wood cabinets by painting them gray. Already painted? Find coordinating countertops for gray cabinets.
Try gray on the floor with a new porcelain woodlook tile or engineered hardwood.
Lastly, you could use it on the counters. Stones and stone-lookalikes offer many gray options that are sure to enhance any kitchen.

Trend 2: Technology Craze
Technology isn’t just for your phone.

We all know energy saving appliances, like dishwashers and refrigerators, are a smart choice. But did you know that by using hands free technology like motion sensors for under-cabinet lighting, that you can save money, too?
Explore the amazing world of motion-activated faucets for both ease and health benefits. The growing demand and competition is driving prices down on these handy tools, so you can breeze through cooking and cleaning with the wave of a hand. Added bonus? Far fewer germs transfer!

Trend 3: Open entertainment.
The kitchen is quickly becoming the center of most home activity. The open concept kitchen, dining, living room makes it easy to entertain guests or kids, but can be challenging to execute and design with minimal walls. These trends will unify your space.

For most of today’s homeowners, the kitchen is a well-used space. Update it to be a well-loved space with one or more of these trends!
