Whether you’re getting your house ready to sell or craving a few home improvement projects, you might be looking for a way to improve your place with style. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to know where to start, especially in a room that is a focal point like your kitchen.

Here are three popular kitchen remodeling trends for 2017, and why you won’t regret making these changes:

• Gray Cabinets: Although white cabinets experienced a resurgence in the last few years, this year is all about adding color back into the kitchen. To give the space some dimension without being overwhelming, many homeowners are opting for chic painted gray cabinets. From warm grays to cool ashy hues, these cabinets pair well with a variety of paint colors and flooring options.  
• Gold Hardware: Instead of the classic, brushed nickel hardware, consider gold knobs and drawer pulls. Gold looks great against a variety of wood grains and makes white or gray cabinets look modern and interesting.
• Smarter Storage: Forget about trying to find a place for your silverware or cramming those appliances in a cramped closet. Instead, speak with your home improvement contractor about adding smart storage with dedicated space for the things you use every day. In addition to cubbies for your silverware and split drawers that maximize vertical space, appliance garages and soft-close hinges make storage easier—and quieter—than ever before.
