If your home looks a little out of date, kitchen remodeling can help bring it back to the year 2018. But to do this successfully, you need to be aware of the latest design trends before you start your home improvement project. Talk to your contractor about these five ideas to see which might work in your kitchen.

2018 Kitchen Ideas

1. Quartz

Of all the countertop options available, shimmering white quartz is currently the most popular. Correctly sealed, it is easy to maintain, while providing elegance and character to your kitchen.

2. ​​​​​​​Clean Lines

A minimalist, streamlined look is preferred for most aspects of your kitchen this year. Rather than elaborate trim and fancy handles on your cabinets, consider a clean, flat look with hidden handles, and opt for simple cylindrical ceiling lights.

3. Smart Kitchens

Technology gets more advanced every year, and smart appliances controlled from your phone are just one example. These futuristic gadgets are convenient to use—and, if you’re planning to sell, they can bump up the price of your home more than you might expect.

​​​​​​​4. Ceiling Treatments

If you do want to add in visual details somewhere, put them on the ceiling. A grid shape outlined in simple molding and painted accents is a popular look this year, but you may also try tile, patterned wallpaper, or other unusual materials.

5. ​​​​​​​Black & White

White has always been a design standby, but this year, in particular, has seen a surge in all-white kitchens. If that doesn’t suit your tastes for your kitchen remodeling project, try accenting with a bold, dark color—black is also common in 2018.
