Country Farmhouse Kitchen Trends
Many consumers want a warm, inviting, country-style kitchen. These kinds of cozy kitchen trends remain very popular. Creating a kitchen with touches of country flair, like weathered pieces made with reclaimed wood, is a hot trend.
Designers are creating country-style kitchens with modern efficiency combined with a homespun flair. They are the perfect place to show off rustic decorations and give your family and friends a feeling of home-style comfort. Some popular touches are farmhouse sinks and butcher block islands.
Open Shelving Trends
Open kitchen shelves is one of our favorite kitchen trends. Open shelves allow homeowners to showcase their favorite decorative pictures, heirlooms, and other pieces. At the same time, having more open shelves and fewer enclosed cabinets gives a feeling of open space.
On a more practical level, open shelving gives you the ability to see your kitchen items, so you don’t have to search for them in cabinets.
Open shelves work well with cozy country kitchens and with sleek, modern kitchens. They give you more room for creative touches to emphasize your design aesthetic.
All-White Kitchen Trends

In addition, a white backdrop can make your own personal touches of color and other design elements more attention-grabbing.
However, there are kitchen trends in the opposite direction as well. Some designers are emphasizing contrasting touches of dark cabinetry and darker wood floors. Still, the clean and classic look never truly goes out of style: Have a look at a recent kitchen remodeling project by Abbey Design Center that gave a local homeowner a sleek, modern design and an open floor plan that they desired.
Smart Kitchen Trends
Up-and-coming kitchen trends also incorporate the latest technology to make your kitchen more efficient, more connected, and even more fun.
These designs are centered around the latest in high-tech equipment, such as smart refrigerators with internet connections and video displays. The updated smart kitchen emphasizes high-tech cooking tools, such as programmable pressure cookers, home beer dispensers, and home entertainment systems. These elements are often matched with sleek finishing touches of lacquered finishes and clean lines.
Quartz Countertop Trends
One of the most highly sought after kitchen trends is countertops.
Quartz has a number of advantages. First, it is extremely durable and can last longer than your house. Second, quartz is naturally anti-microbial. Finally, quartz is easier to maintain than granite. Quartz provides these advantages and is easier to maintain than granite.
For a time, the knock against quartz compared with granite was a lack of variety in colors and finishes. However, manufacturers have quickly caught up and now provide a wide variety of choices for designers and homeowners.
Quartz is available in a wide range of colors. New finishes give quartz surfaces the look of marble or natural stone. Manufacturers are also able to provide softer and more neutral colors.
Importantly, quartz manufacturers can create kitchen sinks using the same material as the countertop. This option can give your kitchen a distinctively clean and sleek style.
