Kitchen Remodeling Trends That Will Stand the Test of Time

When you’re spending thousands of dollars on your dream kitchen remodeling project, you’ll want the updates to last for a while. Here are 4 kitchen design trends that offer lasting value.

1. Cleanliness: We’re not talking germs; we’re talking design. Kitchens are going contemporary, clean and horizontal (thick countertops, long and horizontal pulls, and open shelves). Even in a classic kitchen, go with flat, simple cabinetry rather than highly carved details.
2. Color: Apparently, colors are cycling out in 2014, except for black and white together. But color is fickle, so do what’s best for your space.
3. Dark Wood Is In: If you’ve ever had white cabinets, you’ll know how every speck of dirt shows. Unless you have a cleaning fetish, this can drive you crazy. Combine white cabinets with another new trend: dark wood. Alternatively, if your remodeling budget can handle it, go with specialty woods, such has zebra wood or mahogany, to make the island look like a piece of furniture.
4. Appliances: As kitchens get more open, the more we want them to look like the rest of the home. This is propelling a trend away from the pro range and monstrous stainless steel refrigerators towards high-performance, concealed dishwashers and refrigerators.
