The trend the last few years in terms of kitchen remodel is to create open spaces that communicate with the living room or the dining room and to incorporate appliances in a manner as unobtrusive as possible so that you feel that you are in any other room, but not in the kitchen. In addition, comfort standards have set new rules for kitchen remodeling.
Regarding 2017 remodeling trends, expectations don’t differ greatly, homeowners wishing for further space decorated with style and colorful kitchen furniture to create an area that has both a practical role and is welcoming and relaxing.
Black is the new white
If we’re addressing remodeling trends, it must be said that 2017’s kitchen is distinguished by black furniture. Yes, you read that right. Black, usually avoided in interior decorating can become the main focus in the kitchen. It can be used in a classic combination, with white, or associated with shades that create a more delicate contrast.
If black is not your thing, you can opt for another bold color instead of an all – white kitchen, a bright yellow. The first thing you have to know is that, even if we talk about a kitchen in which the dominant color is yellow, it doesn’t mean that all objects must share this shade, on the contrary. You can pair yellow with grey, brown or turquoise shades, as long as you opt for warmer tones, more suitable for the kitchen space.
Hidden appliances
Appliances are increasingly better hidden in modern classic furniture pieces, transforming your kitchen into a unitary space with a fluid atmosphere without too many visual barriers.
Wooden accents
Natural wood panels, in the form of rough planks or panels that you could easily purchase from specialized shops are also a must for the next year. These can be used as such, treated with a clear varnish or stain, or with a white finish to give the impression of cleanliness and also to provide a modern touch and add warmth to your kitchen.
Metal finishes
If until now, trying by all means to match the color especially for appliances was the go-to style, well, next year it will no longer be the case. You can choose finishes such as chrome, copper, gold and mat chrome, all used in the same space. In this way, you create an eclectic atmosphere in the kitchen. In addition, it will be much easier to make this space useful.
Geometrical shapes in the kitchen
Geometry, specifically if it’s used in a smart way, allows implementing solutions to introduce the necessary kitchen equipment so that it is fully functional. Even in small kitchens, you can still have plenty of options, if you do some planning.
In a kitchen in which you want to use many geometric shapes, the visual impact gives the impression of compact, well-organized, functional space. In addition, you can juggle with colors. Focal points can be obtained more easily, or that’s a big advantage, because it’s not necessary to use accessories for a splash of color.
These are the trends that kitchen remodel will gravitate to next year. But, as said above, there are some things you have to give up, to eliminate from the kitchen in 2017 such as speckled granite for kitchen countertops. Quartz and marble countertops will be more popular.
As for the furniture, especially if you have a small kitchen, you should avoid tiny cabinets. The taller the cabinets, the more the kitchen will gain in volume.
