For many homeowners, the kitchen is a central hub of the house where a great deal of time is spent. Therefore, it makes sense that kitchen remodeling is among the most popular home improvement projects. If you’re thinking about upgrading this space, here are some of the latest trends to consider.

What’s Popular in Kitchen Remodeling for 2020?

1. Quartz Countertops

Quartz has been popping up in many kitchens in recent years, and for several good reasons. The engineered stone boasts supreme durability, so it can stand up well to wear and tear without chipping or cracking. Its non-porous texture also helps to deter stains. Quartz is available in a wide range of colors to match any kitchen design and features a flawless finish since the material is manmade.   

2. Tech-Powered Features

Smart features are appearing all across the home, and the kitchen is no exception. In fact, this room provides many practical ways to incorporate technology. Appliances and lighting fixtures can be connected to voice-enabled home assistants so you can turn them on and off hands-free, even when you’re busy. Some Wi-Fi-equipped refrigerators come with built-in cameras so you can check on stock levels from the grocery store, while smart dishwashers dispense the perfect amount of detergent.

3. Islands

Kitchen islands have been ubiquitous across home design in recent years, and the trend is only gaining momentum. These practical features add space for meal prep, dining, entertaining, and storage. Through 2020 and beyond, islands will be kicked up a notch with varying heights, pull-out drawers, spacious shelving, and built-in sinks or cooktops.

4. Open Shelving

Cabinets still reign supreme for keeping pots, pans, and other kitchen essentials neatly tucked away. Yet, if you have china and dishware you want to show off, consider incorporating some open shelving throughout the upper half of your kitchen. Because shelves are less bulky than full cabinets, they may make your space appear larger.

5. More Color

The bright, neutral trends of recent years are unlikely to disappear, but some homeowners are beginning to crave more color. Create a kitchen atmosphere that’s fresh and inviting with pops of navy, powder blue, or green. The backsplash and cabinetry are ideal areas to incorporate these hues for a bold, modern impact.
