Our Favorite Kitchen Trends

In recent years, there have been several innovations and style trends created to transform an ordinary kitchen space into something more functional and accessible. Kitchen designs are constantly evolving to address changing needs. Nowadays, kitchen spaces are ideal for accommodating guests and small gatherings.   

   

Despite these changes, investing in materials or products to enhance your kitchen's functionality is still ideal. For instance, duct access doors and panels provide a convenient way of accessing kitchen ducts during cleaning or maintenance. If you need fresh ideas on changing your current kitchen setup, continue reading below!   

   

1. Smart Tech Storage   

Modern technology has significantly elevated our lifestyle. It allows us to connect and manage systems remotely while you’re away from home. Since the primary goal of modernization is convenience, many kitchen devices now utilize smart technology to make the space more functional.  

Technological systems are also ideal for restaurants regarding inventory and revenue. If you run a food business, you can install a tech drawer that serves as a charging station for plug-in devices to allow the workers to charge their phones while inside the kitchen.  

   

2. Recycling   

Because of the environmental problems that our world is facing today due to massive pollution, we -as part of the global community - are doing our part in recycling to help minimize these effects. However, this leaves many homes and establishments with a problem; what to do with the ever-growing recycling pile? One solution is two garbage cans, but this can look cluttered, so expect a growing trend for kitchens to have a built-in recycling solution.   


3. Smart Appliances   

 The kitchen adds a new life to your ordinary and time-consuming daily kitchen routines. Luckily, our generation has developed intelligent appliances, the latest trend for ease and control with just a few taps through dedicated mobile apps. These trends will likely last long as more cities switch from gas to electricity to address immediate safety concerns and the long-term climate effects.   

   

4. Earthy Interior   

 White is out of style this year, and the older styles are making a comeback! Expect more yellow and green colors in high-traffic areas. And for the ultra-modern dark kitchens, expect more gold where there once was silver. Removable wallpaper will also be in trend to allow more creativity that is both affordable and durable.    

   

Natural wood design is also a top pick this year. Hand-scraped and distressed effects will catch every kitchen owner's eyes due to its rustic, lived-in feel. In addition to hardwood, patterned and ceramic flooring are also here to stay for the coming year. Laminates and stone looks are an affordable way to add a sense of depth to hard surfaces.   

   

5. Metal Hoods   

The approach to extractor hoods has long been celebratory, with custom-made designs in unique finishes making strong and defining statements in kitchens worldwide. This kitchen style sets off big, especially in eye-catching metal surfaces and industrial-inspired kitchens with an edgy flair.    

 

6. Passé Countertops 

Because they're a central focal point in the kitchen, worn-out or out-of-style countertops will draw the eye and detract from more modern features in the room, like-new stainless-steel appliances or your crisp, monochromatic paint job. Investing in new, professionally installed countertops can be a game-changer in a kitchen. 

 

There are still more kitchen designs and the latest trends for you to try. A bit of research and information goes a long way. Before purchasing, make sure you have enough budget, and you hire the right people who are well experienced in the latest trends in the kitchen construction industry so that your investments will not go to waste.
