Personal touch
The white kitchen may never go completely out of style, but today’s homeowners continue to include their own personality in their kitchen remodels. They’re not afraid to customize their kitchen with their favorite colors and materials. Furnishings such as runners and area rugs are finding their way back into kitchen as homeowners seek to add more character and cushioning. Alair Homes South Vancouver works with you to create a design that reflects your personality.
Clean cabinet lines
The latest trends indicate that homeowners want cleaner lines and are opting for flat-panel cabinet doors. The detail-free designs work well in modern kitchens. They maintain the customization aspect using different materials. Another way these flat-panel cabinets are anything but boring is the increased use of color in cabinetry. Grays and taupe colors are still popular but darker colors like black, deep charcoal and navy have a place in today’s kitchens. These darker colors work better on lower cabinets and kitchen islands to present a counterpoint to an otherwise neutral colored space.
Increased technology
In today’s busy world, homeowners need to be able to prepare healthy meals quickly and kitchen trends are keeping up. Smaller appliances programmable from a smartphone app are trending. People can monitor their cooking, adjust temperature and turn the appliances on and off. This level of convenience helps keep healthy eating attainable and appealing.
Lower maintenance
Multi-use appliances are gaining popularity in today’s kitchen trends. Tying into the above-mentioned busy world, people want lower maintenance kitchens that feature smaller appliances and details that require less cleaning. Easy to clean materials including quartz and porcelain and backsplashes with larger tiles and less grout mean less time dealing with kitchen messes and more time to do what you enjoy.
Windows as focal points
Windows in the kitchen help bring in natural light, but the current trends have them playing a much bigger role. Feature windows that make a statement with unique shapes and dark frames. Hanging these windows higher and having them longer than traditional windows gives them a stronger, more interesting visual presence.
