Whether you're a homeowner, a new buyer, or a design enthusiast, it's beneficial to be aware of the latest kitchen design trends. In order to keep an eye on your home's resale value, it's also a good idea to keep abreast of which styles are falling out of favor and to avoid allowing your kitchen design to stagnate. This article will explore the most popular kitchen trends for 2020. A number of noteworthy design possibilities will radically alter the kitchen design landscape in the coming year. We can't wait to see how you incorporate them into your own kitchen!

Sleek Appliances with Panels

Although stainless steel appliances remain a popular choice for contemporary kitchens, paneled appliances will soon become the norm. To generate this paneled appearance, "panel ready" appliances are installed, allowing a bespoke paneled face to be attached to the appliance's front. This paneled front is available from a manufacturer or can be custom-made to match the surrounding cabinets.

As these are the appliances with the most front-facing space, panels are typically fitted on the refrigerator and dishwasher. Paneled appliances provide a kitchen a more upscale appearance and give the homeowner greater design choices. In addition, they produce a uniform flow between the cabinets and appliances. This novel method of "concealing" appliances with panels draws more attention to the quality of the cabinets and other kitchen finishes, such as the countertops and floors. Additionally, you may say goodbye (happily) to the unattractive smudges that are typical of stainless steel surfaces.

Natural Surfaces

With the continuation of the environmental movement in 2020, natural finishes and materials will increase in kitchen design. Trendy materials will include reclaimed wood, bamboo, concrete, marble, clay, and natural stone since they promote sustainability and produce a sense of earthiness in the home. These materials are also incredibly durable and frequently available at a lower price, especially when repurposed or recycled. An example of reusing natural materials is the creation of reclaimed wood countertops from recovered barn wood. In an effort to limit waste, more people are choosing comparable do-it-yourself kitchen projects. When optimizing a kitchen design budget, recycling materials can significantly save expenses.
