Open Shelving

Open shelves allow you to showcase your beautiful kitchenwares among other heirlooms and antiques. The ability to see through your storage also means everything is easy to find.

Dog Cantinas

Doggie cantinas—areas are designed for feeding man's best friend—will be the pet-focused trend.

Add Hints of Color

You don't have to scrap an all-white kitchen to stay on trend. Dip your toe in the color pool instead, whether you store colorful pottery in glass-front cabinets, or bring in colorful furniture.
