Kitchen Remodel Design Trends -

 Are you planning a kitchen remodel and are in need of kitchen design ideas? You've come to the right place. Update your kitchen with unique and trending styles. Have some fun by playing with different textures, colors, patterns, materials, layouts, and more! Let your mind wander into all the possible ways you can make your kitchen standout. So, consider the following kitchen design tips.

 

 1. Open shelves - Open shelving helps with opening up the space (perfect for small kitchens) and making it feel more airy. It is a growing trend that many love and is here to stay. Open shelving is perfect for homeowners who love to display china, collectibles, or anything else worth displaying. This look can be obtained by installing wood or metal shelves of your choice.

 

2. Eliminate shadows! Design with light - Kitchen design has come a long way and with it, new lighting solutions such as under-cabinet lighting. This is a must in kitchen design as lighting is one of the most important aspects. It helps with having better workspace lighting, aesthetics, or both. Lighting can be even more critical for people with different visual needs. If too much lighting or lack of lighting is an issue, dimmers can solve the problem by giving everyone a chance at adjusting the lighting levels.

3. Be creative with color! Custom colored kitchen cabinets -  Looking for some contrast? A great way to create this look is by designing your kitchen island cabinets a different color than the rest of the cabinets in your kitchen. For example, white cabinets paired with a light grey kitchen island.

4. Backsplash - A great way to make a statement without too much effort is by selecting a backsplash with unique shapes, colors and materials that match the rest of the kitchen. Some of the most creative and popular backsplashes are: reclaimed wood planks, antique mirror tiles of any shape, embossed concrete, textured tile, penny round tile, copper tile, chalkboard paint, repurposed plywood, and much more!

5. Looking for functionality and beauty? Look no further - Let's not forget about the farmhouse style sink we're all in love with. This style, also known as an apron sink, is very spacious, practical, deeper than most and beautiful. It is also heavier than most, so when you're ready to install it, make sure it is professionally done.

6. Where Do I Store My Cutting Boards!? Kitchen storage solutions are also a must when designing your new kitchen. Maximize all the space in your cabinets by incorporating pullout baskets, pullout drawers, vertical pullout drawers, carrousel-style racks, pullout open-weave baskets, drawers with two separate sections (one deep and one shallow), utensil dividers, and the list goes on. We love the limitless storage options from DuraSupreme Cabinetry!

7. One Size Fits All? Wrong! Multi-level countertops come in handy for various reasons. We're all different and your kitchen countertops can be tailored to your family's specific needs. This is a perfect solution to make everyone in the family feel comfortable when sharing the kitchen.

8. Create a focal point - A great focal point in your kitchen can be the vent hood above your range/cooktop. There are many styles, sizes, colors and materials to choose from. For example, copper, barn wood, mixed metals, white and gold, stainless steel and much more. Be creative!

9. Furniture-like cabinetry - Coordinate and personalize your kitchen with the rest of your home by selecting base cabinets with furniture-like legs and feet. This will help in defining the overall design theme of your kitchen.
