While many kitchen remodeling trends tend to come and go, here are some that are likely to stick around for many years, improving the look of even the simplest kitchen styles.

Quartz Countertops

Quartz is still one of the most popular materials to use for countertops. They’re easier to maintain than granite while offering timeless visual appeal. Quartz is also less dominant than other materials that could get too tiring.

Open Layouts

Make the most of your kitchen by breaking down the walls and keeping the kitchen in a central, open space. This is a trend that is particularly popular for informal dining and comfortable cooking.

Induction Cooking

Induction cooking’s fast, safe, and aesthetic nature make it an appealing option. Induction burners also use less heat than others, keeping kitchens cool while cooking and thus making them safer. They also eliminate the need for a large range hood, allowing for more creative designs.

Single-Level Islands

Along with an open layout, a single-level island allows light to travel with ease through a space. Kitchen counter-height islands also make kitchens more intimate while expanding prep space.

Another often overlooked area of kitchen design is the ceiling. After all, who’s cooking on it in reverse gravity? If you want to make the most of your ceiling, consider shallow coffers or moldings to complement the island’s shape or work space.

LED Light Fixtures

LED lighting is one of the most popular lighting options available today, and no longer carries the cold look that older LEDs used to have, making it a great option for warm kitchen lighting. Use LED lights to illuminate kitchen islands, light toe-kicks, or make a counter workspace brighter.

If you don’t want appliances to stick out and appear separate from the rest of the kitchen, consider custom build-ins and panels. This trend continues to be as popular as it ever was, and appliance colors can now stand alone as a stylish statement piece or blend in with the cabinetry.

Deeper Drawers

Drawers that are extra-deep make both storage and cooking effortless. They’re much more accessible than typical cabinetry while also allowing for simple integration in any kitchen. You can also include add-ons such as drawer organizers and pegboard to keep them clean and organized.

Open Shelving

Upper kitchen cabinets can benefit from a fresh look using open shelving conversion. You may also want to consider getting rid of upper cabinets altogether, instead opting for more counter-level cabinets that make it easier to reach everything from ingredients to supplies.

Polished Silver Finishes

Polished silver continues to remain a mainstay in many designs. You can incorporate it with nickel or chrome in faucets, shelf brackets, and hardware.

These are some of the many popular trends in kitchen remodeling that you’ll be able to use to make an appealing kitchen that impresses both residents and guests. You and your family and friends will be able to enjoy spending time in the kitchen as much as the rest of the homes when you implement any one of these trends in your next kitchen design.
