Have a Fixer Upper? Here Are The Top Kitchen Design Trends To Follow This Year!
- Transform Your Mediocre Kitchen Into An Inspiration
50 Shades of Grey
While the white-on-white kitchen will probably always remain a popular trend in kitchen design, we are starting to see other neutrals become more common. Shades of grey in particular have taken over for cabinets, backsplashes, and counters in 2017. Grey tones provide an appealing and clean feel, while also bringing more character and deviation to the typical white kitchen. Because grey is still a neutral tone, it allows for creativity with other finishes throughout the kitchen. Unlike white, grey tones will mask dust and dirt. In some ways, grey can provide a fresher look than white can.
Mixing Wood, Paint, and Metals
Instead of having a uniform look throughout the kitchen, the new trend is to have a mix of colors, textures, and materials. Mixing metals as well as natural wood accents can create an industrial feel that is eccentric, yet sleek. Exposed copper pipes mixed with stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters, and neutral cabinets can seem like a lot going on, but this blended look is the latest in top-of-the-line kitchens! Consider adding both brass and bronze fixtures and natural wood accents throughout the kitchen to really embrace the diversity of all the elements.
Again, separating from the typical white kitchen where tile may have been a common floor choice, dark wooden floors are becoming more prevalent. Open-concept floor plans have become the norm in the past few decades, which includes constant flooring throughout the house. Dark floors contrasted with light, neutral cabinets, and countertops can create a kitchen space that looks modern while also feeling homey and inviting.

5. Farmhouse Feels
As we see with the famous designs of Joanna Gaines on HGTV’s show "Fixer Upper," farmhouse kitchens can be very beautiful and welcoming. Unlike the modern kitchen, the farmhouse style invites the family into the space to create a comfortable community environment where kids and parents can gather daily. For a farmhouse kitchen, be sure to add a deep sink, a large island, wood counters, and a warm color palette.
Open Shelves
Open shelving is becoming a popular trend, where dishes and pots can be displayed as part of the kitchen décor. Sturdy, wooden beams can be used as shelves to create this look on a budget. This latest is great for the homemaker who is organized, however, avoid this style if your life is more chaotic, or you have sippy cups that need to be hidden in the cabinets!
Treat Fixtures Like Jewelry
The best way to customize a kitchen is through accessories. Knobs handle, and light fixtures should be treated like jewelry and specifically chosen to represent you and your family. Unique accents are trending and allow a family to place their distinctive mark on the space in a less permanent or expensive way.
