If your new year’s plans include doing something about your outdated, inefficient, or poorly-designed kitchen, now’s the perfect time to research trends. Smart storage, stone features, and matte colors are among the hottest kitchen remodeling trends for 2019, all of which add a modern yet timeless quality to your cooking space. Get inspired by these ideas before talking to your home remodeling contractor.

5 Top Kitchen Remodeling Trends For The New Year

1.Storage “Garages”

Built-in storage specifically for appliances such as coffeemakers, toasters, and toaster ovens save counter space to create a kitchen with more clean lines and less clutter. Other smart storage solutions are also on the rise for 2019, including divider drawers for utensils and caddies for pans and pots.

2. Matte Black Appliances

The sheen of stainless steel has been replaced by matte black. Refrigerators, ovens, and other frequently-used appliances in matte black disguise fingerprints easily, helping your kitchen look cleaner for longer. They also add contrast if your kitchen otherwise features neutral hues.

3. Stone Backsplashes

Tall backsplashes made of raw materials such as natural stone, add texture as well as a natural vibe to your kitchen. Marble has seen a resurgence over the last few years, with veined varieties a current favorite. Quartz backsplashes are also popular this new year.

4. Statement Fixtures

Dramatic hanging pendants made of sleek metal add a contemporary if not futuristic touch to your kitchen remodeling efforts. Those consisting of clear glass also add substance to your kitchen, as the glow of their light bulbs is exceptionally distinct. 

5. Ceramic Tile Flooring

If you’re looking for a beautiful, low-maintenance flooring option, add ceramic tile to your kitchen remodeling materials list. Spills wipe off of tile floors with ease, and the flooring requires little more than periodic mopping to stay in great shape. Perhaps best of all, you are no longer limited to small square tiles--wide, single plank slabs in the hardwood style are among the options available.
