A kitchen is more than just a place to prepare food. It is often the warm and comfortable epicenter of the home and the heart of family life. Your kitchen should be both functional in use and reflective of the personalities of those who utilize it. To meet these goals while still staying on the cutting-edge of popular design, below are some 2019 trends to consider for your upcoming kitchen remodel.

2019 Kitchen Remodeling Trends to Consider

1. Abundant Storage

Homeowners are always looking for more storage, especially in the kitchen. Between pantry items and pots and pans that are tricky to stack, kitchen remodels are increasing storage space with large, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and concealed cubbies for storing everything from toasters to standing mixers. Not only is this a trendy design, but it is also convenient as it keeps everything you need in the kitchen within easy reach.

2. Pastel Colors

Throughout 2019, there will be a move away from dark paint and finishes in the kitchen. While powdery pink and mint-green may be a bit much, colors like lemon yellow, soft sage, dusty blues, or even light gray will add a gentle, yet striking, atmosphere to the kitchen.

3. Portable Islands

In 2019 kitchen remodels, expect to see some mobile islands. Contractors and designers have seen counter spaces that roll away or fold up to increase floor space after the cooking preparation has finished. Although portability may be limited if you want a sink or stovetop in the island, this new trend can increase the usable space of the kitchen, which may be helpful if you love to host dinner parties and need more space for seating.
