Challenge: I’m trying to decide on a style for my kitchen renovation. What current trends are you noticing in kitchen design?
Solution: Many homeowners are looking for a simple, but sophisticated and streamlined look in kitchen design, including long lines, soft moldings like Cove crowns, and paneled appliances. Combining family rooms with the kitchen to create a larger entertaining area is among the top wish-list items. While white cabinetry is still the favorite, adding accent colors like navy blue, grays, or specialty woods like Walnut to islands and butler’s pantries helps make a kitchen unique. Brushed brass is the new leading trend for cabinetry hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures providing a real personal touch to the design while automated interior drawer and cabinetry lighting is a great convenience feature. Besides its visual appeal, the modern-clean look, soft lines, and smooth textures help create a clutter-free environment.
