While designing a brand-new kitchen can be extremely exciting, an abundance of design trends to choose from can make the process feel overwhelming. With a goal of creating a stunning, yet functional kitchen design it’s important to stay away from trends that may go out of style quickly. The good news? There are plenty of new kitchen design trends that seem to be here for the long haul! Keep reading for a glimpse at three of our favorite kitchen design trends for 2019.
Make a Statement with Unique Tile Accents
An eye-catching kitchen backsplash is a great way to make a statement in your kitchen’s design. We’re especially loving tiles in unique shapes like hexagons and arabesques, as well as mosaic patterns with a mix of metal, stone, and glass pieces. Can’t decide? A safe bet is subway tile because it has a timeless design. However, you can mix it up by installing subway tile in an interesting pattern to take this classic tile to the next level. Another popular option is to pair simple tiles with a contrasting shade of grout. We’re big fans of mixing a bright white tile with a dark gray grout!
Make a Splash with 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 an easy way to delineate certain areas of the kitchen from one another, like the kitchen island and the dinette area.
Get Smart…Technology
Smart technology has been growing in popularity over the years. Now, many home builders are incorporating it into the building process, creating a truly integrated experience. In the kitchen, smart tech has become increasingly more innovative and centralized, causing it to become more commonplace than ever before. From refrigerators to coffee makers, this trend has begun automating certain parts of your day. With less time spent on monotonous tasks, you’ll have more time to tackle the important things on your to-do list!
