Hot Kitchen Trends for 2019

Hot kitchen remodeling trend ideas for 2019

We've rounded up the 8 hottest trends in home design in the current market. Whether your remodeling to sell or refresh these tips will help you increase your home value and stay up to date on the current styles.

  1. Warmer tones are making a debut in 2019. Warm neutral paint colors will make your rooms appear larger and more bright. Grays aren't going anywhere, but choosing warmer tones will make the room more inviting and homey.Dove grey—with a lilac undertone—is a particular favorite with designers currently.
  2. For a more curated appearance mixed metals will add depth to your rooms. Choose one main metal and use others as accents to create contrasting elements. The only rule to this is make sure that your metals are either all warm or cool. Updating your fixtures is a relatively inexpensive way to update your home and create a new appearance.
  3. Bring the outdoors inside. Using wood, stone, concrete and copper can warm up your place with a modern aesthetic. Everything from stone tiles to concrete showers can give a less sterile appearance and add a personal touch.
  4. Stainless steel is phasing out and being replaced by black stainless, modern white, and vibrantly colored appliances . Hiding them with cupboard panels is also a growing trend. High tech appliances with smartphone integration are also taking over the market.
  5. Bright warm kitchens are also making a comeback. Vibrant cabinets with two tone over under styles create a more airy feeling. Create this look by choosing lighter top cabinets and darker lowers.
  6. Brightly colored cabinets not your thing? Swap out dated cabinets with open shelving . Not sure if this is the look for you? test it first by removing a couple cupboard doors to see if you enjoy having your dishware on display.
  7. Creative textures and finishes , and alternative shapesare increasing in popularity in 2019. Statement tile in both the bathroom and kitchen will help incorporate these modern elements into your home. For a more budget friendly choice,porcelain tile that mimics stone, and even concrete, has made it an attractive, affordable, and low-maintenance alternative.
  8. Designers suggest using bold paint colors, wallpaper, moldings, fabric, and other materials to transform a ceiling into something truly eye-catching.Accent ceilings are sure to be a conversation piece at your next get together.
