The hottest color trend is neutral white and grey. Because white cabinets pop against grey walls we love this. These colors provide a soothing palette. Despite being very current, this is also a classic color scheme.

Therefore, you can choose these colors with confidence. This color combo is here to stay!

If white is not your cup of tea, don’t worry! Black cabinetry remains wildly popular. In fact, decorators choose black cabinets to fill large spaces. Black cabinets add warmth and beauty. Also, they are an impressive sight to behold.

In addition to the clean neutral palette trend, homeowners are opening up the floor plan. By removing the kitchen table, homeowners are enlarging their space. Instead of a traditional kitchen table, most kitchen remodel jobs include an island with seating.  This adds valuable storage space. In addition, cooks have more food prep space.

Perhaps the newest trend is the kitchen technology station. Indeed, we are tied to our electronics. Therefore,homeowners design their new kitchens with this in mind. This trend reflects the latest in technology.

  1. The part of your article that discussed all the different kinds of electronic upgrades you can make to a kitchen was really impressive to read. As someone who lives in a family where most of us enjoy home-cooking, I feel like these upgrades would benefit us greatly. With that said, once I find a remodeling contractor in the area, I’ll make sure they help us do a house makeover and have our kitchen wired to accommodate these appliances.
