Think of the one room in your house where you and your family spend the most time. It may vary for some, and it may change from one family member to another, but many people spend most of their time in and around the kitchen. You’ve likely purchased a new TV, maybe new living room furniture, window treatments, bedroom furniture, and more; each of these updates can drastically change the fashion and function of a room. If it’s time to bring your kitchen up to speed and up-to-date, here are a few kitchen design trends that are popular and expected to grow in the years to come.

Kitchen Plate Racks for your Dishes

While kitchen plate racks may seem like a vintage concept, they are expected to make a triumphant return in 2020. Whether displayed on countertops or mounted on walls, these racks provide a great opportunity to exhibit your beautiful dishware and improve your overall storage and organization.

Hidden Kitchen Appliances

Your large appliances can be equipped with fronts that match and blend in with the rest of cabinetry and décor. If you don’t want the stark look of stainless and other industrial materials, this is an option your designer can help you achieve.

Open Kitchen Shelving

Open shelving provides easy access to your kitchenware, as well as the ability to showcase heirlooms and other eye-catching items in your kitchen. 

Apron-Front Sinks for Your Kitchen

Apron-front sinks have become staples of modern farmhouse décor. With an exposed front-facing side, this style of sink offers enhanced space and a distinct look for any kitchen.

Two-Tone Kitchen Cabinets

Your kitchen cabinets have a lot of potential to make your kitchen stand out. One trend that is expected to grow in popularity is two-tone cabinets. Your cabinetry no longer needs to be unified; try shades that complement and contrast, like gray and white.

Mixed Metal Kitchen Hardware

Hardware and fixtures are a quick and simple way to update the look and feel of your kitchen. Current design trends are leaning away from identical hardware and toward mixing and matching different metals. Matte black offers a minimalist vibe that works well for a faucet; if you opt for this fixture, consider a different metal and finish for your pulls and handles.

These are only a few of the trends you can expect to see in new kitchens now and in the years to come. If you are due for an upgrade in your favorite room, the expert design team at Acadian House Design and Renovation is here to help.
