If you are waiting for the year's hottest kitchen trends, the list is here.
What do you think is this year's look? According to experts, muted color schemes, 80s glam, and high-tech workstations are only some of the upcoming leads.
Muted, Soft Palettes
If you are already imagining transforming your kitchen's color scheme, always remember that kitchen colors are frequently changing. Although the white motif is still dominating, all other things from backsplashes to cabinets are more likely to be finished with less saturated shades. Neutral pastels, grays, and charcoal are the new alternatives to the classic white. Experts also say that wood tones like the whitewashed kinds, walnuts, and white oak are to become big this year.
Smart Spaces
2016 will be featuring high-tech makeovers. Both Drury and Lockhart foresee that more kitchen layouts will create special areas for smart appliances. There will be discreet charging stations where tablets and phones can be powered-up while completing kitchen tasks. Convenience will be emphasized throughout the year via smart devices.
80s Glam
Experts say that the 80s trend will be back. Brass accessories, mirrored backsplashes, and high-gloss kitchen surfaces are not dead after all. However, these will be recreated in a more refined and elegant manner. The elegance will highlight natural materials to eliminate the plastic appearance. There are also experts who have said that homeowners are more likely to prefer brass with satin touches instead of shiny finishes.
Integrated Spaces
Your kitchen may look like it is disconnected from all other parts and elements of the house. You are more probably looking for ways to make the cooking space more accommodating than ever. Either of the two, the specific trend can be the perfect choice for you. Home design experts are looking towards a more streamlined design where the kitchen is converged with the entire house's living space.
