Function and FlowĮvery new generation of homeowners will eventually rediscover the merits of simplicity, flow, and function – especially in the kitchen. On top of being a great style choice, a modern aesthetic aids to the cleanliness and ease-of-use of a kitchen. So, woods mixed with sleek hardware and shiny metals are a good choice to offer some variety. Of course, modern styling does not prohibit the use of wood. Sleek and minimal detail, flat-panel millwork, gloss cabinets - these are all great options that contribute to a modern aesthetic. Kate Marchisio, HomeScapes Designer Modernity “What we’re finding popular now is adding punches of color and texture, taking a classic kitchen and transitioning it into something a little more personal” The juxtaposition between these two materials works better than you might think. Another striking mix of textures you can experiment with is wallpaper and marble. Going with rougher grains or reclaimed wood is an excellent way to bump the contrast up a notch. Matching tile and wood, for example, is a great way to experiment with texture mixing. By sticking to a mixture of proven favorites, you’ll be on safe ground. It takes a careful balance not to end up with a look that’s too overwhelming. A good way to accomplish this is through mixed textures rather than mixed features. When it comes to interiors, incorporating a range of trends at once keeps things feeling novel and interesting. Here are the top 7 kitchen design trends you should be thinking about in 2020. So, we’ve talked to our in-house Home Scapes designers and done some research to find out what the current and long-lasting trends are for this year. Maybe now is not the time to execute these changes (for a myriad of reasons), but now is the perfect time to start thinking about that kitchen renovation you’re really yearning for.Įven if updating your kitchen for your own use is not on your radar, keeping pace with the most popular home decor trends can boost the resale value of your home. But now, some of us are looking around our kitchens and realizing the design is outdated and could use a major facelift. Those of us who were always on the go or simply didn’t enjoy cooking meals, because it just took up too much time, are now finding a new love for the activity. And that leads to using our kitchens even more as well. We’re all staying in our homes a lot more than we ever have before.
