Latest Trends for Kitchen Remodels

The kitchen is the heart of the home, prompting many to implement impressive designs and trendy features. Some of the most popular kitchen trends include:

Earth Friendly Options

Renewable and earth-friendly is all the rage in kitchen design. Some of the most trendy and environmentally options include:

• Sustainable Tabletops – Consider options that are formaldehyde-free and food-safe, such as natural stone or bamboo parquet butcher block.
• Wise Washing – Appliances can be environmentally friendly, too. Consider a dishwasher that is programmed to optimize heating cycles for greater efficiency.
• Safe Floor Surface – Linoleum is a thing of the past. Consider installing air quality-certified laminates for a green, healthy surfacing option.

High Tech Options

The kitchen now offers many wonders of the future, including:

• Multimedia ventilation hood featuring an LCD screen with options to watch your favorite cooking shows
• Many new refrigerators, including side-by-side models, offer “fresh” options with multiple cooling systems, and tech for keeping food odors from transferring to other foods. Some even allow you to chill drinks in minutes.
• If you enjoy a cool beverage, consider adding a low profile but highly functional wine or beer fridge. These small appliances can be added under a counter or in a cabinet and provide you with a beverage at the perfect temperature.

Adding Color

While stainless steel may never go out of style, many new appliances are available in a range of colors to add some spice and style to your kitchen. Another way to add color to your kitchen is through your cabinetry. Consider setting a specific area apart, such as an island or kitchen bar, with an alternative color. For example, if you have white cabinetry, make the island or bar a darker color.

Multifunctional Options

In today’s worlds, convenience is a must. For those who are time-challenged, choose items that multi-task, including a “super sink.” This type of sink offers an array of accessories including a cutting board, colander and drain tray. This will allow you to speed up prep and cleanup as well as save counter space.
