This year’s kitchen remodels are bringing a bit of the unexpected, with natural finishes and textures co-existing with bright splashes of color, and the color isn’t reserved for walls or accessories. Look for brightly painted cabinets and appliances in a range of new colors and shades.
With kitchens continuing to be the key gathering place in most homes, remodeling trends are emphasizing space that is inviting while also bringing in the personality of the homeowner. The focal point is the central island, a must-have because of its convenience for food prep and as a place to gather with or without seating. In larger kitchens, multilevel islands are becoming popular and allow for more versatile use with a mixture of marble and butcher block counters.
Central islands also are providing more than additional storage, as many are now being equipped with pull-out recycling receptacles, secondary ovens, pet feeding stations and technology centers for on-line recipe storage and cooking tips.
Cabinets are trending toward bright colors, with complementary colors being used for upper and lower cabinets. Combined with hardwood floors and natural finishes on countertops, cabinets now pop in any size or style kitchen. Blues and bright greens are the 2020 choice for current remodels.
Look for countertops in natural finishes and textures, including natural wood and concrete or a simple marble in neutral tones.
In kitchens favoring neutral tones and wood finishes, look for an unexpected pop of color from appliances that are now available in dark shades, black, or bright blues and greens.
Your kitchen remodel also can provide for all the latest technological advances, using voice controls for the ultimate smart kitchen. Incorporate appliances that offer the latest in technology, such as ovens that also air fry, in-sink dishwashers for small loads, and refrigerators with produce drawers that filter out the ethylene gas that causes produce to rot.
