Whether you’re giving your kitchen a much-needed makeover or giving it a complete revamp, we’re sharing you the top trends this 2018 that will serve your kitchen that ‘oomph’ it’s been missing. Depending on your budget and how much redesigning you plan on doing, your kitchen update can range from replacing your tiles to installing pendant lighting.
Whatever it is that you have in mind, giving your kitchen a fresh and new life can raise your love for the space through the roof. Here are 4 kitchen trends that are rocking it this year that you should consider for your own:
Patterned tiles
Splash a touch of color and creativity in your kitchen. Replace your old, plain, boring tiles with striking patterns or bold colors and shapes. Transform your kitchen and stamp a bit of personality to the space. Often, we see a kitchen that embraces neutrals and leave the touch of colors to decors and appliances. As clean and simple that is, you gotta take some risks sometimes.
Emboss that personality into your kitchen splashback. Have fun with geometric, bold pattern tiles or textile-inspired tile designs. If you’re not too bold to opt for patterned tiles, you can go for bold-colored tiles instead.
Mix-and-matching
2018 marks the end for monochromatic spaces. Yes, we’ll still see a lot of these but as the year progresses, we see more and more homeowners jumping on and will hop on the train and opt to mix and match tones in their spaces.
This goes as well with combining rustic elements with Scandinavian style or playing with contrasting colors such as black countertops and lower cabinets matching it with neutral-colored upper cabinets.
Open shelving
There has been a lot of discussion surrounding the effectivity and style purposes of open shelving. The key to rocking this trend is keeping the space tidy and void of clutter. Keep the open shelves neat and only designating items that you most reach for and that won’t cultivate any mess or anything unsightly.
Pendant lighting
This trend is nothing groundbreaking and new, however, it is staying for a good reason. Replacing your old, dull lights with pendant lighting fixtures is an easy and affordable way to turn your kitchen from simple to stylish. It can establish the space’s ambiance and visually lift up the whole space.
