How would you design your dream kitchen? Does it include white, Shaker-style cabinetry or dramatic, modern cabinetry painted a deep gray? There are endless decisions to make when it comes to planning a dream kitchen. Moreover, unless you are employed in the industry as an interior designer or kitchen contractor, you will likely need to seek out professionals to help make your dream a reality. As well, the cost of creating your dream kitchen may require you to seek out a personal bank loan. However, before you get started it can be valuable to do your research to determine the design style that best suits you and the amenities you would like to see in your space. The following are current trends in the kitchen design industry: While Shaker-style cabinetry has a timeless appeal, it has been even more popular as of late. This classic door style is simple, yet elegant. Its adaptable style makes it ideal for a variety of kitchen designs, from traditional to eclectic. Many homeowners have been opting for open shelving in place of classic, upper cabinetry. This can be ideal for those who wish their dream kitchen to appear open and airy. The use of open shelving reduces the visual weight of a kitchen, creating a modern appeal. Tile is always popular in kitchens, from flooring to backsplash because it makes for easy cleanup and adds a sense of luxury. In addition to the installation of open shelving, kitchens have also been incorporating large sections of tile. This style involves installing tile from countertop to ceiling on an open wall in the kitchen. Subway tile is always a favorite for this type of detail as it is cost effective and transitional. Applying a dark grout against white Subway tile can add a graphic detail to any kitchen. A kitchen island often acts as a focal point for the space. Because of this it is important to choose an island that fits appropriately in the space while reflecting the design of the surrounding cabinetry. Details such as paneling, furniture legs and a waterfall countertop installation can really make a kitchen island stand out. Another option is to paint it a contrasting color; for example, a dark gray island in an all-white kitchen. In the past kitchens have featured hardware with similar finishes to make the space cohesive and pulled together. However, this practice has changed in recent years to favor a more eclectic selection of hardware. For example, while the cabinetry hardware may stay the same, the faucet could be installed in different, yet coordinating finish. With all the options out there, it can be difficult to make that final decision for your dream kitchen. Take time to choose elements that reflect your personal design style. In addition, listen to the advice of your kitchen professional, they are there to make the process easier for you.
