While designing a brand-new kitchen can be extremely exciting, it can also be a little overwhelming thanks to an abundance of design trends to choose from. In order to create a truly beautiful, yet functional kitchen design it’s important to stay away from trends that may go out of style quickly. Luckily, some of these 2019 design trends seem to be here for the long haul! Here’s a peek at three kitchen design trends we’re loving for 2019!
Smart Technology
This isn’t a new trend but smart technology has continued to gain popularity over the years and many home builders are incorporating them into the building process. In the kitchen, integrated smart technology has become even more innovative and centralized. From coffee makers to refrigerators, smart tech is even more commonplace than before. Because this tech can automate certain parts of your day, you’ll have even more time to tackle the important tasks on your to-do list.
Accent Lighting
When it comes to the overall design of your kitchen, lighting packs a big punch! While a functional design element, lighting has the power to tie your whole kitchen design together. Whether mixing and matching styles or deciding on a more uniform look, opt for fixtures that suit your unique style. Accent lighting also provides a great way to delineate certain areas of the kitchen from one another, like the kitchen island and the dinette.
Unique Tile Accents
Make a statement in your kitchen’s design with an eye-catching backsplash. We’re big fans of tiles in unique shapes like an arabesque or hexagon, as well as pretty mosaic patterns featuring a mix of stone, glass, and metal pieces. Can’t decide? Subway tile is a classic, timeless option that’s always a safe bet! For an unexpected twist, install subway tile in an interesting pattern like a herringbone pattern. You can even take it one step further and create some extra dimension by paring tile with a contrasting shade like a bright white tile and dark gray grout.
