Five Kitchen Trends of 2015

Whether you’re updating your home to sell or for your own enjoyment, we have the top five 2015 kitchen trends for you!

Keep It Clean—

Prepare to see streamlined looks and many shades of white. Clutter is hidden and cabinetry is sleek. More and more kitchens are adorned with clean lines, simple moldings and finishes, and lots of white in 2015.

Hide It Away—

Hiding appliances behind cabinet doors is a continuing trend, including growing options such as under-counter refrigerator drawers, pull-out microwaves, and swapping out your free-standing appliances with sleek induction cooking tops paired with double wall ovens.

Mix It Up—

Painted, stained, and matte finishes. Cabinets are on display with color choices expanding from the usual wood finishes.  Darker cabinets are also becoming a trend, as well as mixing uppers with lowers, open shelving, and pullout drawers instead of traditional cabinets.

Look Up—

The most important consideration when it comes to your kitchen ceiling is still adequate lighting. However, coming in a close second is style. While there is no longer a sense of “right and wrong” in kitchen lighting anymore, the main takeaway is kitchen lighting and ceilings are quickly becoming an important part of a kitchen’s overall aesthetic.

Get Creative—

Kitchens are “on display” more than ever and with the countless of combinations for countertops and backsplashes, it’s time to get creative. Quartz, silestone, butcher block, ceramic porcelain, glass tile, and much more; now is the time to really show your style.
