Did you ever look at your grandparent’s kitchen and think, “How could they have ever thought this looked good?” Unfortunately, here’s some bad news for you. One day in the very near future, your family and friends may also ask themselves that same question about your kitchen.
Home trends are constantly changing, so keeping up with them can be overwhelming. If you have a “Live, Laugh, Love” sign in your kitchen, that may indicate that yours is also starting to fall behind the times. This guide will give you a glimpse into current trends you can incorporate into your kitchen renovations to bring your space into the future.
The Latest Trends in Kitchen Renovations
While not all homes favor a trendy kitchen, many homeowners love the thrill of keeping up with the Joneses. Here are a few worth considering adding to your space:
Smart Appliances
One of the most exciting trends to come on the scene is smart appliances. Imagine being able to preheat your oven without leaving the couch or getting a message from your refrigerator telling you it’s time to buy more eggs. Smart appliances use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to connect to your phone, tablet, or other smart device. Smart ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and coffee makers are among some of the most popular.
Kitchen Islands
Counterspace is a hot commodity in a busy kitchen. The addition of kitchen islands can offer more prep space and configuration options. Some kitchen islands include a microwave, oven, and sink. These fixtures offer so much versatility in a kitchen space.
Countertop Cabinets
For decades, floating cabinets have been the standard. However, trends are increasing in popularity for countertop cabinets that sit directly on the countertop. For many, this is an aesthetic choice, but it can also offer more functional benefits. Many people build appliance garages into these cabinets to conceal unsightly toasters and create cute cubbies for coffee makers.
Other notable trends include two-toned cabinets, sustainable materials, open shelving, and matte finishes on paint and hardware. A professional renovation team can help you figure out what trends your kitchen needs.
