Remodeling the kitchen is exciting, as it’s usually the heart of any home. However, before beginning, it’s important to think carefully about your kitchen design and learn about all your options. Here are several trends to inspire you. 

A Guide to 2019’s Kitchen Design Trends

1. Two-tone Cabinets

Pairing wood with white or choosing a two-toned paint theme for cabinets is becoming increasingly popular. Use natural wood, such as walnut or cherry, in lower cupboards and islands, and pair painted upper cabinets in white or an accent color. Consider bright greens, coral, or yellow as a cheerful accent, or go for a moody, forest green.

2. Curated Accessories

2019 is the year to display your collections, whether artisan pottery or antique china. Designers recommend open cabinets to show off your kitchen treasures. Accessories also add color and personality to the space. Neutral colors are best for open cabinets, as they make the collection the focus. Use a soft grey or antique white paint, or choose cabinets made from wood, such as pine or fir, to create a natural look. 

3. Industrial Finish Countertops

Quartz and concrete counters are gaining popularity. Concrete comes mainly in neutral gray, white, or brown tones with a matte, cloudy finish that brings a sleek, minimal, and sophisticated elegance to the space. Quartz is a non-porous surface that resists stains—even from wine or oil—and won’t harbor bacteria or viruses. Both surfaces are durable and easy to clean.

4. Functional Sinks & Ranges

Sinks in copper, sandstone, or granite combine form and function and make dish washing easy. These materials are long-lasting and are non-porous, meaning they won’t stain or harbor bacteria. Also, install ranges and hoods in bright colors, such as farmhouse blue, or pastels, such as pale green, to transform the look of the room.

5. Sleek Switches

Don’t forget about the light switches and outlets. Install hands-free light switches—activated by waving a hand in front of the sensor—and plugs that come in square, rectangular, or circular shapes.

6. Dark or Eclectic Mood

Although white still packs a punch in kitchen design, the all-white look is fading in favor of darker spaces that include black, dark neutrals, and matte finishes. Choose dramatic visual elements, such as Moroccan style tiles for walls, and black or red and white tiles for the floor. The modern industrial look of stainless steel in appliances and tables is fading in fashion; designers are looking to color and texture to create a personalized look.
