With life’s constant busyness, we’re so glad this year’s kitchen is both soulful and calming. As the kitchen has become the chief room in the home where people naturally migrate to, it is now imperative to have an atmosphere that invokes flowing movement for productivity and calmness for unwinding and letting it all go at the end of the day. While 2018 brought us discreet vent hoods and modern two-toned cabinets, this year brings us a luxurious mix of colors and materials, including soothing matte, sultry blacks, jeweled-tones, and of course silky marble. Once you’ve ditched these dated trends, check out our list of this year’s biggest trends.
Matte One of the hottest trends this year is matte finishes on appliances, cabinets, and even countertops. Matte surfaces look silky smooth and have the benefit of being easy to clean. Cambria offers matte countertops and Cafe Appliances recently introduced its new line of beautiful Matte Series appliances.
Jewel Tones This kitchen trend is an excellent way to embrace color without going too bright. Your main jewel tones, including emerald green, amethyst purple, sapphire blue, and brushed brass, add a rich, sophisticated look to the kitchen.
Marble Countertops The marble trend has gone from strong to stronger. This light stone is the perfect neutral canvas that is simple yet luxurious. However, marble is also very porous so it’s best to go with a quartz surface that flawlessly emulates the natural stone but is very low-maintenance.
Minimal Hardware Keeping clutter to a minimum with cleared countertops and seamless cabinets, cabinet hardware is practically disappearing. While we still love the look of cabinet hardware, oversized knobs and pulls are being replaced with smaller versions that simply add a touch of dazzle instead of making their own statement
Brushed Brass Brass is back but it’s not the flashy 1980s brass you may be fearing. Brushed brass offers a subtleness and warmth, and when done right can last a lifetime. Like jewels on a crown, brushed brass is the perfect calming accent to add to your kitchen.
Black Dark kitchens are back with a vengeance, and heading the pack is sultry black. Matte black and black stainless steel are especially on trend in appliances, offering a neutral yet bold statement in any kitchen, and even black on black countertops and cabinets are back.
Mix & Match Instead of just choosing a uniform kitchen out of a catalog, your kitchen should be as unique as your own personality (and should reflect it too!). Just like you’re not “only outgoing” or “only charismatic,” your kitchen doesn’t have to be only bright or only traditional. This year’s kitchen is all about mix and match, such as mixing metals like black iron and brushed brass, or materials and colors like wood and white paint or sleek countertops with handmade tile backsplash.
