We asked Tom Caruso of Caruso Cabinets what kitchen trends are popular now. "We are seeing more textures coming in our designs like more grain in woods from White Oak & Hickory. White Oak and Hickory can be stained with a very light finish that shows the patterns of the grain in each piece of wood. Even Quartz countertop companies like Cambria are doing some textures in their Inverness series and my clients are loving it.” He replied.
Customers are also choosing:
Sustainable Materials: With increasing awareness about environmental issues, there is a growing interest in using sustainable materials in kitchen design. This includes eco-friendly options for countertops, flooring, cabinets, and appliances.
Smart Technology Integration: As technology continues to advance, smart appliances and systems are becoming more prevalent in kitchens. Expect to see more integration of smart features like voice-controlled devices, touchless faucets, and app-controlled appliances.
Open Shelving and Minimalism: Open shelving has gained popularity in recent years and is likely to continue as a kitchen design trend. It creates a more open and airier feel while allowing for easy access to commonly used items. Minimalist designs with clean lines and clutter-free spaces are also expected to remain popular.
Multi-functional Spaces: As homes become more compact, kitchen spaces are being utilized for more than just cooking. The trend of multi-functional kitchens, with integrated dining areas, workspaces, and entertainment zones, is expected to continue.
Bold Colors and Patterns: While neutral colors like white and gray have been popular for kitchen designs, there is a growing trend toward incorporating bold colors and patterns. This includes statement-making backsplashes, colorful cabinets, and vibrant accents to add personality and visual interest to the space.
Remember, trends can vary over time and personal preferences play a significant role in kitchen design choices. It's always best to choose elements that suit your style and needs.
