Top Kitchen Remodel Design Trends for 2018
Due to the rising popularity of open concept homes, most owners now turn their kitchens into areas where everyone gathers. Redesigning the space to make it more functional and accommodating has become one of the top considerations for many kitchen remodels. If you’re planning one for this year, here are some design trends you should consider.
Trendy Kitchen Remodel Ideas for 2018
1. Colored Appliances
2018 has shown an increased preference for colorful appliances in the kitchen. What was once an all-white kitchen is replaced with stainless steel, gray tones, and pops of color like blue and red for the adventurous.
2. Multipurpose Kitchen Islands
Homeowners often use their kitchen remodel to adjust their layout and make it more open and ergonomic, such as by adding a multipurpose island. Today, this feature is usually fitted with appliances and storage, making it ideal as a dining or working space.
3. Quartz Countertops
Quartz remains an often-sought-after material because it’s hardy and easy to maintain. It also offers many customization options in terms of color and design.
4. Smart Kitchens
The term “smart” refers to functions that are activated either automatically or remotely via the internet or a private network. From motion-activated faucets to artificial intelligence-equipped appliances like refrigerators that alert you about what grocery items you need to purchase, these devices make kitchen chores more convenient.
5. Streamlined Space & Effective Storage
Some people prefer to make their kitchens appear larger and more open by using streamlined space. Upper wall cabinets are often removed to give way to open shelving. More people are also looking for effective storage solutions inside their cabinets, such as organizers, dividers, and pull-out trays.
6. Kitchen Cabinets in Color
White remains the favorite color for kitchen cabinets for its fresh and clean look. However, gray is slowly catching up because it provides a modern and luxurious feel, along with dark jewel tones like black, navy, and emerald green.
7. Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood will continue to be the favorite, but its popularity is slowly declining. 2018 will likely see an increased preference for wood-like flooring, such as engineered wood or laminate, for the kitchen.
