Posted by Jenna Frederick on January 04, 2016 0 Comments
As you anticipate the new year and plan for your new build or re-model, be sure to check out these nine Kitchen Trends to look out for in 2016! They are the hottest designs to seek out this new year!
1. Soft, Muted Color Palettes: Though white motifs will still dominate, everything from cabinets to backsplashes will be done in less standard tones.
2. Smart Spaces: Get ready for a hi-tech makeover! "Look for areas with hidden charging stations to store devices like phones and tablets so they are always operable, at hand, and charged!"
3. An '80's Reboot: Mirrored backsplashes, brass accessories, and high-gloss surfaces aren't dead by a long shot, but they are more elegant and refined this time around!
4. Metal Range Hoods: In 2016, metal will assume a more dominant role in the kitchen aesthetics and trump wood as the range hood of choice.
5. Integrated Kitchen-Living Spaces: Whether your kitchen feels disconnected from the rest of your home, or your cooking space needs to feel more accommodating; this trend could be for you!
6. A New Kind of Tradition: "Traditional designs will always remain popular, but future renditions will be more deliberate with an emphasis on key elements like hoods, islands, cabinet crowns, and so on." -Designer; Lockhart
7. Texture-on-Texture Contrast: Designers are looking to re-position the same texture in different patterns throughout the kitchen.
8. A "Nod" to Midcentury Mod: It is easy to get into the minimalist movement by choosing predominantly white color palettes, designing with light wood textures and clearing away unnecessary clutter.
9. Well-lit Cabinetry: Homeowners won't settle for just ceiling lights and table lamps to illuminate their kitchens. Designers say extensive cabinet lighting is a trend to watch!
