With the new year starting it’s time to start planning for all the changes it will bring. When deciding what transformations will take place in the coming year, be sure to consider remodeling ideas for your kitchen. With all the change that the new year brings, there’s no better time for a kitchen redesign.
Kitchen Trends for the New Year
Most people have given some thought to how they want to redesign their kitchen, but they’re often not sure where to begin. Take a look at the following trends for a few creative ideas for an upcoming kitchen makeover.
Smart technology has virtually invaded every aspect of everyday life; why not bring it into the kitchen? With the newest models in appliances and gadgets, homeowners can give their kitchens a serious upgrade. With recent technology advancements, many can enjoy their kitchen to its fullest extent. Moving forward you can expect technology to be a significant aspect of how kitchens will change.
Start a smart technology takeover by bringing on motion sensor sinks, programmable coffee makers, and tools that monitor food’s freshness. Other popular choices for smart tech in the kitchen include getting programmable lights that can be controlled from an app on a tablet or smartphone.
Opt for Darker Kitchen Colors
Up until recently, a darker palette in the kitchen was unheard of. White was the standard tone for cabinets, walls, and kitchen appliances. In the new year expect an increase in darker tone usage in kitchens.
Homeowners are going to opt to paint their walls, floors, or cabinets several shades darker. While detractors may fear these colors will darken the room, the truth is that shades of gray and black will actually add depth to the kitchen. Ensure that you pair your new colors with a matching cabinet and countertop.
Embrace Minimalism
The next trend is looking to incorporate the idea of minimalism and streamlined designs. A sleek and straightforward kitchen is more apt to encourage balance and help relieve anxiety from the everyday stress of life. Use this redesigning time to open up the kitchen and embrace a clutter-free look. Consider removing any walls, shelves, or furniture to help create a more visually appealing space.
New year, new me doesn’t have to exclude your kitchen. The new year is all about starting anew. Keep these three ideas in mind to give the kitchen its fresh start.
