Kitchen Design Trends

It’s the room where everyone gathers. It's the focal point for many homes and the space where togetherness, memories and maybe some food fights, happen. To ensure that your home’s own safe haven is uniquely yours and well styled, take a nod from these design trend tips.

Hardware happy

Try some fresh finishes for your hardware such as:

Matte finishes

Brushed nickel

Polished chrome

Make a statement with your sink.

Farmhouse

This style of sink isn't meant just for a rustic farmhouse. Updated treatments on this sink style include cool concrete, shiny metals and copper.

Brass

Slightly unexpected and a brighter take on copper, brass sinks are unique and offer an instant retro vibe to the kitchen.

Countertop trends

Marble

The quintessential design lover's option. Marble offers a chic, bright look to the kitchen for that swoon-worthy and study countertop.

Butcher block

Warm and practical, using wood or butcher block for areas or the whole countertop makes meal preparation quick and brings added comfort to the kitchen.

Stainless steel

Industrial and clean. While it may make you think of a restaurant kitchen, when paired with fresh greens and warmer lighting, it takes modern to a whole new level.

Personalize your lighting options.

Cabinet lighting

Illuminate your storage space and provide a great point of visual interest when your kitchen isn't in use with above, below and in-cabinet lighting.

Try a dimmer

Set your perfect mood for a warmer or more intimate feel when your kitchen isn't in use.

Mix and match

Try pendant lighting for your island or more ornate pieces for a modern, personalized look.
