“Design is a constantly evolving thing. Not only does that keep things fresh (and keep stores in business,) but it also evolves as needs change. The kitchen used to be an industrial part of the house, where you would tuck away to do the hard work of cooking. But as the decades passed, it morphed into a communal space where family and guests can gather around and connect while dinner is being made. This has completely changed the look of the room, morphing it from a small, closed space in the back of the house to a large, open area in the heart of the home. But that doesn’t mean it has stopped evolving. The things that were important to us in 2024 are changing as 2025 quickly approaches, and because of that, certain trends are waning to accommodate new needs. To figure out what those trends are, we asked interior designers to share what is beginning to feel passé, and what is replacing them. “ Click here to continue...

“One of the most important elements of a kitchen is, of course, the cabinetry. You might be deciding on the size, material, and finish of your kitchen cabinets — and maybe whether you’re going to have any built-in cupboards at all, with the increased popularity of unfitted kitchens. As with most other home features, you can also consider current cabinet trends to see if anything speaks to your aesthetic.” Click here to continue...

The kitchen is where family and friends gather for food and fun so it’s always got to look its best. Stop endless dusting, scrubbing and wiping kitchen surfaces and remodel smart instead! Kitchens are both wet zones and high-traffic areas so proper flooring material is key. Ceramic and porcelain tile have moisture resistance that is superior to natural stone or wood. They also rarely scratch or stain. Quartz countertops are the most durable and you can clean them with common household products. A sturdy, lower cost countertop option is laminate. Flat-panel cabinets are easiest to clean, but if they look too modern for your taste, shaker-style cabinets are a good compromise. Dark stained cabinets show fingerprints and dust, and white cabinets show absolutely everything else, so a medium stained finish is the best choice for effortless style. Otherwise, consider satin-painted cabinetry, which is still very resilient. Opt for a rollout pantry to put groceries away quickly without fumbling around in deep cabinets. Its shelves are easier to reach for both organizing and cleaning. Brushed nickel or dark bronze hardware hides water spots and fingerprints well. Stainless steel sinks may develop a chalky residue around the drain due to hard water and they can also scratch, but overall, stainless steel appliances require the lowest maintenance. Use garage door cabinets to hide away appliances or to cover any area that may get cluttered. Consider a glass backsplash because although they are more likely to show grease and food splatters than ceramic and natural stone, they can be easily wiped down due to the smooth surface. Flat sheets of glass eliminate grout...

“Kitchen cabinetry has come a long way, having evolved from cupboard-like pieces of furniture in unfitted kitchens to rooms flush with rows of built-in upper and lower cabinets. Sure, open shelving re-entered the chat in the early aughts and hasn’t left, but most people rely on some type of kitchen cabinets to store everything from snacks and dried goods to cookware and dinnerware. And the look of kitchen cabinetry has undergone quite the transformation, too. From the simplest slabs to ornate glass insert designs and beyond, more options than ever are available today. One cabinet trend that has my attention, though, is Micro-Shaker, or Slim Shaker, cabinetry.” Click here to continue...
