K+BB Design News: Fresh and Clean Kitchen Trends

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:05 pm
Kitchen and Bath Design News recently posted an article regarding the importance of a clean and durable design complete with a fresh color palette. Add texture into the equation, in the right, “sophisticated” way of course, and you have a trend that hasn’t changed in years.
The article also discusses the eco-conscious factor that plays a BIG role in some of the hottest design choices.
Below, borrowed directly from the article, are some of the most desirable trends in kitchen counters today.
  • Color schemes are trending toward clean, fresh, monochromatic choices, with shades of white and grey growing increasingly popular.
  • Texture, both visual and tactile, is a hot trend, adding a fashionable touch that meshes with today’s simpler, more clean-lined kitchen designs.
  • Eco-friendly choices continue to be in high demand, with manufacturers increasingly promoting countertop choices that are recyclable or made with a high percentage of recycled material.
  • As durability increases in importance for today’s value-conscious consumers, man-made materials such as quartz seem to be gaining ground.
  • Mix-and-match countertop designs – which may include a combination of wood, stainless steel, natural stone, laminate, quartz and/or glass – are often chosen to provide multifunctional properties while keeping costs under control.
Glass is the new high-end “it” material, offering both eco-friendly properties and a nearly endless array of personalized design possibilities.
