The average American spends more than 400 hours in the kitchen each year, so it’s no surprise that many people love keeping their kitchen up to date with all the current trends. Combining the latest trends with classic designs is an age-old art that can enhance your kitchen’s style and make it more functional and aesthetic. At the end of the day, what your kitchen design needs is a blend of comfort and functionality. Keep reading to gain more insight into the latest trends in kitchen remodeling.
Smart and Integrated Appliances
Appliances should be the first thing you should select while remodeling your kitchen. This will help you choose the right size for your cabinetry, streamline them, and help you decide if you want panel-ready appliances (which grew in popularity in 2022). Technology has come a long way—now you can get smart appliances such as refrigerators with ice makers, automated temperature adjustments, and so much more.
The Right Cabinetry
Cabinetry makes up the baseline of your kitchen, and it should be functional and visually appealing. Though white has always been the classic choice, more people are going for colors like blue, green, and black. Stained cabinetry is also gaining popularity, including wood options such as natural walnut, white oak, or even alder. They are soft and can give your kitchen a lovely earthy feeling.
If you want to try a more elevated look, consider adding mirrored cabinets, a favorite amongst celebrities. It’s a wonderful way to make your kitchen look brighter and more spacious. Add as much storage space as possible with dividers for drawers and trays, mini garages for small appliances and cutlery, and pull-out shelves for spices.
Quartz, Marble, and Wooden Countertops
Quartz has always been at the forefront of interior design thanks to its unique styles and looks when it comes to countertops. It’s affordable, easy to maintain, durable, and smooth. Engineered quartz, especially, is highly recommended and comes in various patterns, colors, and finishing techniques.
A close second to quartz is a marble countertop. You can also go for a combination of quartz and wood or choose butcher block countertops.
Undermount Kitchen Sinks
Undermount kitchen sinks offer a modern look, adding both flair and functionality to your kitchen. They are also durable and low maintenance.
The Right Flooring
Finally, one of the most important things you need to consider while remodeling is flooring. Though hardwood flooring is here to stay, natural-looking colors like white oak flooring made waves in 2022. A patterned floor is also an excellent option to increase the visual appeal of your kitchen floors.
The essential point to consider is that it’s your kitchen, so you should focus on designs and interiors that you love—in other words, don’t worry too much about what someone else might like in the next 10 or 15 years.
