5 New Trends in Kitchen Design

 

When Ferguson Kitchen, Bath, and Lighting Gallery recently surveyed homeowners on which room they wished to redesign, 47% replied “the kitchen.  Here’s what’s in and what’s out when it comes to kitchen design.

 

WARMTH

In: Wood counters and floors

Out:  Cool gray cabinets and white counters

 

HOODS

In:  Hide the hood behind a false cabinet front to emphasize the backsplash

Out: Ostentatious hoods

 

ISLANDS

In:  Portable tables

Out: Islands with two levels and eating space that cut food prep space in half

 

CABINETS

In: Glass-fronted storage

Out: Open shelving where contents can get greasy

 

STOVE TOPS

In: Stove tops and separate ovens installed elsewhere

Out: Standard range that disrupts visual continuity
