Upgrading your kitchen will boost home value and create a functional, attractive space for your household. If you want to appeal to prospective buyers and align with popular designs, stick with current remodel trends like the following.

3 Design Trends to Transform Your Kitchen

1. Grid Layouts

Symmetry has become a popular trend for overall kitchen design. Flat, square corners rather than rounded edges on islands and cabinetry create a grid-like design that brings everything together. Use hardwood or tile flooring with distinct grout patterns and grains, and add a rectangular island in the center to create further depth. You can also incorporate square cabinet handles, door designs, and square lighting fixtures as brushstrokes.

2. Eye-Catching Wall Tiling

Wall tiles are a popular and unique alternative to paint. When used strategically, such as along the backsplash, the front face of an island, or across a single feature wall, they create a textured design dynamic. Don’t be afraid to get bold and creative with a mosaic, and paint cabinetry a light cream or beige so adjacent tiles pop.

3. Two-Tone Cabinets

Cabinetry is a defining feature of a kitchen, and two-toned options are a 2019 favorite. Rather than traditional wood, try painting upper cabinets a warm cream and lower cabinets a smooth charcoal. The dual tones help create depth in the kitchen. You can also paint wall cabinetry a single color like beige and island cabinetry gray. This design trend usually works best with lighter flooring and countertop options because they’re more accommodating to complementary colors.
