Thinking about a kitchen update? Ready for a new look and wondering what’s trendy in kitchens right now? Here are some of the latest kitchen design trends you need to know about:
- Soft color palettes —While white is still the most popular choice for contemporary kitchens, other subtle shades are growing in popularity. For example, grays, tinted whites, and pale blues and greens are making a comeback.
- Bold fixtures —Oversized or unique lights and a range hood that makes a statement are popular right now. Copper, glass, or woven pendants are especially popular for light fixtures that go over the island.
- Glass front cabinetry —These cabinets help break up your upper cabinets from the lower ones and make your kitchen feel bigger. The only downside to this kitchen design trend is keeping what’s inside those glass cabinets looking pretty.
- Two-tone cabinets. Although two tones have been popular for a while, the new kitchen design trend is to keep either the upper or lower cabinets completely neutral while adding some color to the opposite ones. For example, a currently stylish combo is having white upper cabinets with bold, navy blue bottom cabinets.
Copper Accents —Well-done metals are always in style, but copper has become the new metal of choice in the past year. You can incorporate copper into your kitchen by using it in your light fixtures, kitchen sink, range hood, or even just with accessories or decorations.
