1. White Done Right

White kitchens will never go out of style. You're more likely to grow tired of bold hues on major surfaces, so stick with accessories you can swap out to get that kiss of color. Consider your kitchen's stone floor, backsplash, and trim to find the perfect shade of white for the space. White kitchens will never go out of style.

2. Quartz Countertops

Skip the sealing and scrubbing. Quartz-surfacing countertops require less upkeep than their granite counterparts and offer timeless appeal. Plus, the shimmering surface is less dominant than other materials, so you're unlikely to grow tired of it.

​

3. Open Layouts

Tear down those walls, and banish kitchen isolation: Open layouts are here to stay. A desire for informal dining and comfortable cooking drives this design trend, supporting a casual yet connected lifestyle. Open kitchens encourage interaction and entertainment with their breezy blend of living spaces.

​

 

4. Single-Level Islands

When keeping an open layout, single-level islands allow light to seamlessly stream through a space. Not only do counter-height islands increase the intimacy of a kitchen, they also expand valuable prep space.

​

5. Big, Practical Sinks

When it comes to sink trends, the emphasis is on function. Generous, high-performance models with a single bowl contain splashes while simultaneously accommodating large pots and pans or other items that require hand washing.

​

​

6. Under Counter Appliances

As upper cabinets disappear and walls open up, appliances and storage have shifted underneath counters. This trend favours universal design principles and keeps small appliances accessible. New microwave models, including microwave drawers, load from the top for added convenience.

​

​

7. Stainless Steel

Stainless steel continues to reign supreme in the world of appliances. With its professional and commercial roots, the enduring neutral colour can easily be integrated into any kitchen style.

​

​

8. LED Lighting

The future is here, and it's brighter than ever. Thanks to ever-changing technology, LED lighting has lost its chilly, unfriendly look and continues to be applied in innovative ways. Use LEDs to illuminate a toe-kick, perk up an island, or brighten the work space beneath cabinetry. The new-age lights are more efficient and longer-lasting than halogen and fluorescent bulbs.

​

​

9. Deep Drawers

Extra-deep drawers, especially by the range, make cooking and storage effortless. They're more accessible than typical base cabinetry and so simple to integrate into a beautiful kitchen design. Add-ons, like pegboard and drawer organizers, keep drawers tidy and prevent plasticware tumbles. 

​

​

10. Clean-Lined Design

Consider heavy moldings and froufrou finishes things of the past. No-frills kitchen designs with strong horizontal lines are much more enduring. 

​

​

11. Polished-Silver Finishes

Kitchen finishes come and go, but polished silver is forever. Incorporate polished chrome or nickel into hardware, faucets, shelf brackets, and more for an upscale accent that endures.

​

​

12. Wood(like) Floors

Hardwood floors have kept kitchens warm and cozy for years, and that won't change anytime soon. The material adapts to any style and flawlessly unites rooms in an open floor plan. Don't count out other flooring materials just yet, though. Porcelain or Luxury Vinyl planks that look like wood provide the same inviting style but are easier to maintain.

13. Induction Cooking

Fast, safe, and aesthetically pleasing -- there are many reasons to love induction cooking. Because induction burners utilize little heat, even cramped kitchens stay cool while cooking, and surfaces remain safe to touch. Plus, these cooktops eliminate the need for a large range hood, opening the door to creative design possibilities.
