Trendy Kitchen Design Ideas
Posted by in Kitchen Design on December 16, 2011
Are you thinking of redoing your kitchen? Why not ditch the traditional and go for something a little more trendy! Your cooking space can be the focal point of your home with these trends.
Going Artsy
Kitchens are no longer the cut-and-dried designs of yesterday. Today’s kitchens are getting artistic elements. From backsplash designs to range hoods that double as artwork, you can add as much artistic flair to your space as you want, and still have it look modern and trendy. If you have the room, open up your cooking space by eliminating the end-to-end counter look, and go for islands and freestanding pieces instead.
Forego the Wood
The look of wood to kitchen cabinets will likely never go out of style, but some more modern trends forgo the look of wood in favor of colors and even the appearance of metal. While the material may still be wood, the shine and color of these new trends will keep everyone guessing.
Build In the Necessities
Whatever you consider to be a cooking necessity, consider building it into your design. Coffee makers, microwaves, strainers, knife racks, spice holders, wine racks, and much more can now be built into the design, eliminating the look of a bulky appliance on the counter, and preventing you from having to put the appliance away after every single use. To make the most of your space and incorporate built in appliances and other cooking necessities whenever possible, consider consulting with or hiring a professional designer as you re-plan your space.
Embrace Technology
Would you like to have a TV embedded into your cabinets or refrigerator? It is possible with the newest trends in technology. Consider adding technological advances into your design when you redo your cooking space. From smart appliances that you can program from your computer to ingenious lighting options that automatically dim and lighten as needed, your kitchen can be a technological marvel if you add the right touches.
