Dark blue and navy blue are taking over the trends when it comes to interior design in the coming year. Dark blue cabinets will become more popular as an accent color or incorporated through the whole kitchen. It is becoming the new "neutral" color. It pairs well with a variety of cabinet hardware and gives your kitchen a pop of color!

Floor plans in the kitchen are changing and kitchen islands are becoming essential elements. They provide extra counter space for prepping your meals and they offer the perfect space to gather around when entertaining friends and family. Since homes are becoming more open, trends are shifting, and two kitchen islands are being used in designs. One island is for food prep and the other is used for dining and entertaining.

Instead of using silver or other hardware choices, gold hardware is becoming the new trend. This style pairs nicely with the dark blue cabinetry, giving your kitchen an upscale look and feel. Gold knobs and pulls can be paired with other metallic finishes throughout the kitchen, or you can design your kitchen to include gold throughout.

Previously, kitchens were filled with upper cabinets that often made kitchens feel cramped and confined. The new trend is using open shelves as they provide opportunities to add your own personality to the kitchen. Here, you can display decor, accessories, dishware, mugs, spices, and more. You can access these items more easily when you add in open shelves. 

When you take out upper cabinets, you may need more storage space. Deeper drawers are replacing upper cabinets and hold items such as dishware, pots and pans, and more. This style allows you to grab items and put them away more easily. Some drawers may even be large enough to store small kitchen appliances, which helps provide more counter space when these items are not being used. 

Instead of painted walls, more and more homeowners are choosing to install full wall backsplashes. These beautiful accent walls are easy to clean and very durable. Extending from the countertop to the ceiling, they offer texture and character to any kitchen remodeling project. Common choices include marble slabs and tile.
