Your kitchen is considered the heart of a home- where guests linger, delicious smells waft, and the atmosphere of the home is established. Cabinets make the largest visual impact, thus playing an integral role in creating the specific look and feel you want to achieve. While some trends are timeless, others are just that- trends. 2020, however, is a year that kicks off the next decade and will likely set the stage for years down the road. Kitchens are the statement of a home and need the right features in order to stand out.
Here are some of the most popular trends to keep an eye on for this year, and perhaps for years to come.
Glass Doors
Glass doors create a light and fresh look, having the advantage of breaking up visually heavy floor-to-ceiling cabinetry by opening up the space. They’re a great middle ground between traditional and open shelving cabinets.
Dark Drama
As one of the most popular colors of the year, blue and/or dark finishes are sure to catch your eye. You might be pleasantly surprised with the dramatic and luxurious feel these dark cabinets can bring.
Large Kitchen Islands
As the focal point of the kitchen, larger islands not only make a bigger statement, but also offer additional storage and seating. Islands often become a primary design piece with contrasting colors or styles than the rest of the kitchen.
Open + Floating Shelves
Open and floating shelves give the room a light and airy feel, offering the illusion of more space. However, it’s important to avoid overloading shelves, making sure to place only a few distinct items in order to avoid clutter
Contrasting Colors + Materials
Allowing various colors, materials, and even styles to contrast against one another is a great way to make a statement. This allows each piece to display its unique attributes and contributing beauty to the room.
Built-in Appliances
Built-in appliances are a popular option. Disguising appliances to camouflage with the rest of the cabinets is a great way to retain the flow and feel of the kitchen.
Gray Cabinets
Gray is a universal color that continues to be a favorite paint color for both walls and cabinets. Whether you want the room to feel cool or warm, the undertones of gray are sure to accommodate a variety of tastes.
Natural Wood
The neutral color, dimension, and texture of natural wood is making a comeback. With minimalism gaining popularity and people becoming more eco-conscious, this look is sure to stay trendy. Textured melamine is particularly popular and versatile in working with any style.
Light + Simple
here’s no doubt that light kitchens open up a space and draw people in. White, light and bright has been one of the hottest trends and will last for years to come.
This year has brought many new exciting trends that are sure to accommodate any taste. Every color, detail, and style contribute to the statement you want to create. The biggest takeaway? Don’t be afraid to be bold and explore all your options before settling on one.
