If you’re worried that your kitchen is looking a bit outdated, perhaps it could use an upgrade in 2019. If you want to give it a more modern look but aren’t sure where to start, it can help to identify some of the key trends that are popular right now. If you can decide on popular styles that also align with your own tastes, you’ll have a room that’s perfect for your family while increasing the value of your home. Here are some of the top trends to keep in mind if you’re planning a kitchen remodeling project.

3 Current Trends in Kitchen Remodeling

1. Open Floorplans

Many of today’s homeowners value an open layout that’s conducive to entertaining and socializing with people in different rooms. Since the kitchen is often the center of the home, choose a layout that opens up into the dining area or living room. While this can be a major construction expense for those with closed kitchens, it’s a trend that’s likely to be popular for a long time, so it could also add a lot of value to your home.

2. Gray Features

Gray is popular right now as the new neutral that has replaced beige. This color can help you create a neutral kitchen with clean lines or leave it open for you to add pops of color in your decor. Add gray paint to your kitchen walls or even the cabinets to make the whole room feel both modern and classic at the same time.

3. Open Shelving

Closed cabinets can be useful for storing mismatched dishes and other practical kitchen goods, but open shelves are perfect for showing off your new dinner sets or attractive kitchen decor. They can also help the room appear larger and more dynamic by showing the walls which are usually hidden inside cabinets. To combine practical and aesthetic values, include both open and closed storage in your kitchen.
