With the kitchen continuing to be the most important room in the home, we would like to outline the biggest design trends now being seen in kitchen design. Mix-and-Match Materials Combining different materials, like butcher block countertops and marble backsplashes, add visual interest and allow for homeowners to play around with certain aspects of different architectural styles. You can determine which wood type, color of wood, style of door and cabinets that are appealing to you and also what fits your budget. Neutral Color Palette Whites and other natural colors are truly timeless. They can work with almost any architectural style while allowing other aspects of the kitchen to shine, such as a great granite or butcher-board countertop, recessed LED lighting or Energy Star stainless steel appliances. Custom Cabinetry Specialized storage not only adds visual interest, but also keeps clutter from getting in the way of your kitchen’s design. Custom cabinets are typically manufactured by local craftsmen, tradesmen with honed skills, and sometimes by expensive automated equipment. Custom cabinets offer you a wide variety of wood species, the biggest selection of door styles, an assortment of options and modern conveniences, and a vast array of stains and finishes. Sustainable Materials Kitchens that use materials such as bamboo, sustainably harvested woods and recycled glass not only help keep our planet pretty, but also add style and visual interest to the kitchen space itself. These materials are often manufactured with low- or no-formaldehyde glues, which protect the home’s indoor air quality as well. There is a surprising selection of materials, many of which are made from recycled materials. One of the...

“For years, the kitchen was designed to be seen. Statement ranges, sculptural hoods, and open shelving lined with ceramics turned it into a visual centerpiece of the home. Now, designers are moving in the opposite direction. Today’s most compelling kitchens are the ones you barely notice at all. The rise of the “invisible kitchen” marks a shift toward a quieter, more integrated kind of luxury, where appliances are concealed, storage is seamless, and the room reads less like a workspace and more like part of the home’s architecture. As open floor plans continue to dominate, the kitchen is no longer a separate zone. It is fully on display, often within sight of living and dining areas.” Click here to continue reading on Yahoo...
