Marble countertops, white cabinets, subway tiles, whites - these are all hot trends in today's kitchen. However, while they are not really completely out of favor, designers are now seeing a movement towards color, texture, and more diversity when it comes to kitchen design.
Here are 5 of the hottest new trends in kitchen design today according to Apartment Therapy:
The return of color
We don't really mean Barbie pink (but go ahead if you please), but color is making a huge kitchen comeback. From blues, greens, black, subdued colors, a colorful kitchen is now something that you can consider if you haven't really jumped in the monochromatic trend. Depending on the look you are going for, color is sure to add fun to your space.
The rustic/industrial look
Modern kitchens have been huge in popularity - sterile-looking almost Top Chef looking designs. But if you are not a big fan of that look, rustic/industrial look is one to consider. This includes combinations of wood and steel, antique kitchen island, and lots of copper and texture. If you want your kitchen to have character, then this is definitely one look worth trying.
Colorful, patterned tile
Yes, it's really all about colors! Use colorful encaustic tiles in your kitchen by using it for the backsplash, center island, or even your kitchen floor. Be creative and look for other unsual ways that you can incorporate colorful patterned tile to your kitchen design.
The open kitchen
Open shelving have already gained popularity and looks like they are here to stay. In fact, more and more kitchens are going for little to no storage and those that do not go past the waist height. This kind of design makes way for more windows which helps to let more natural light in for that lighter, airier and more open kitchen. Range hood is a prominent feature of this design trend.
