Kitchen Home Trends to Watch For
Better Homes and Gardens points out some Home Trends we will see going into next year! According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) dedicated BEVERAGE CENTERS will be refreshing kitchens in a big way. From coffee and wine bars to beer and juice box coolers or smoothie bars, a dedicated area featuring specialized storage and appliances is a popular kitchen or pantry feature. WELLNESS is a theme that’s been prominent in home design since 2020, evident in the surge of spa like bathrooms and outdoor living areas. More designers and homeowners will be thinking about how the kitchen can act as a place for healthy living. Considering nutrition and healthy eating, kitchen designs will include more food storage trends. Refrigerators with food inventory technology and appliances that steam instead of fry are just a couple of the latest healthy living trends. Kitchen Color Schemes are moving away from neutral and trending toward EARTHY COLORS. Home owners are looking for soft colors like terracotta and soft sage green. Lastly, look for a EUROPEAN STYLE flair in kitchen designs, especially influencing cabinetry and storage. Integrated appliances that disappear into the cabinetry, appliance garages and enhanced functionality are just a few of the European influences trending.
