Trendwatch 2019

Are you thinking of renovating your kitchen in 2019? We are rounding up some of our favorite emerging trends in kitchen design for 2019. Some of this year’s best trends continue to have legs, and new trends are emerging. Let’s take a look!

Material Matters

Homeowners are still loving classic subway tiles in the kitchen, but newer trends in material choices are emerging as well. Here are a few we love:

• Patterned Tiles: You don’t have to play it safe with neutrals and solids—try a highly-patterned tile. Spanish and Moroccan-style patterned tiles are gaining popularity. Add a spark of personality with a patterned backsplash, or use patterned tiles alongside solid colors for visual interest.
• Copper: Copper accents in the kitchen are a huge 2019 trend. Think hardware, backsplashes, and light fixtures—but the sky is the limit!
• Concrete: Polished concrete is modern and timeless, and emerging as one of the hottest trends for kitchens in 2019. From floors to countertops, concrete is growing in popularity with homeowners.

Cabinetry Trends

Your personal style will dictate the type of cabinet you prefer, and of course, a cabinet style should outlast all trends and feel timeless in your home. As we move into 2018, a few popular design trends in the cabinetry world include:

• Minimal Hardware: The popularity of seamless, streamlined cabinetry is on the rise. Some homeowners are even eschewing hardware altogether. The minimalist trend extends to detailing—homeowners are opting for simpler designs, too—and design, with some homeowners opting for more open shelving over traditional upper cabinets.
• Rustic Wood Options: Simple, rustic woods like walnut, oak, and ash, are emerging as favorites for cabinetry in 2019.
• More Storage: Adding more storage is always on-trend! This year kitchens will maximize storage with wider, deeper drawer options, pull-out and roll-out cabinet organization, and pantries.

Appliance Upgrades

Are you upgrading appliances in 2019? Your kitchen will be smarter than ever!

• Concealed Ventilation: Though the statement range hood is still popular, concealing ventilation is gaining popularity. Wrapping ventilation with matching cabinetry or a contrasting material (i.e. tile, granite) is an emerging design trend.
• Black Stainless/Matte Finishes: Classic stainless steel remains popular, but black appliances in a matte finish are gaining ground thanks to its ability to hide smudges and fingerprints while still offering a clean, modern look homeowners prefer.
• Integrated Appliances: From refrigerators to stoves to dishwashers, your appliances are getting smarter thanks to interior cameras, lighting, and controls that can be operated from your mobile devices.
