Current Kitchen Design Trends

The place where you enjoy your morning coffee, prepare evening meals, and hang out with your family, the kitchen really is “the heart of the home.” At Homes By Dickerson, we design all of our beautiful, modern, efficient kitchens to enhance your daily routine. Here are a few trending design features we’re seeing that will inspire you to turn your kitchen into your all-time dream space:

Full Height Granite or Quartz Backsplash 

Imagine the look of Italian marble but infinitely more durable and practical. In this application, granite or quartz runs from the countertops all the way to the ceiling, creating a seamless look. It adds sophistication and warmth to any kitchen. 

The Look of Black Marble  

There is something infinite about black marble. It’s been used in so many variations for eons – walls and floors, mantles and countertops. It’s instantly recognizable yet avante garde. The black marble “look” is easily and practically obtained via porcelain floor tile or quartz countertops. 

Wide Plank Floors 

Wide plank wood flooring adds instant charm and depth to any room. The unique grain and natural color variations of hardwoods are classics for a reason. Combine the warm tones of stained floors with a cooler hue for a more modern look. 

Warm Wood Cabinetry 

While white kitchens will always have a place in the design pantheon, there’s something inevitably comforting about wood cabinetry. These elegant maple cabinets feature a modern design and a clear stain/painted finish combo, giving them a contemporary yet familiar feel. 

Open Shelving 

Whether for storing everyday items or displaying decorative treasures, open shelving has been around for centuries. But if you’re thinking “country kitchen”, think again! In this case, open shelves enhanced with a dark tile background are a central feature in a contemporary kitchen with light and dark cabinets and a cozy feel. 

Brass or Brushed Gold Fixtures & Cabinet Hardware 

The current trend in brass & brushed gold is soft and sophisticated. When paired with a classic blue & white color palette, the effect is cool and timeless. 

Bold Use of Color & Patterns  

For decades, color was used only as an accent in kitchens. But recently, a bolder use of color has been trending. Cabinets in saturated tones. Countertops with striking hues. Tile backsplashes that are works of art. It’s a great way to add personality to the room you spend so much time in! 

Kitchen Design Trends for 2020

Kitchen Design Trends for 2020

At Homes By Dickerson, we believe in the power of a really great kitchen, because what could be better than creating something delicious to share with the ones you love? Take a look at the top kitchen design trends that caught our eye and get inspired to design a beautiful gourmet kitchen in The Home of Your Life!

 

Kitchen.

Something Navy: While black and white reigns supreme as the most classic color scheme in home design, modern kitchens are craving a little something different. Is navy the new black? This timeless color reflects elegance, understated luxury, and style like none other and works great for your cabinets.

 

Pops of color in kitche.

Pops of Personality: Sometimes the simplest of touches make the biggest statements. If you enjoy a neutral-toned aesthetic but want to infuse your personality into your space, use bright pops of color in “unexpected places,” including your appliances and hoods. Of course, a lovely piece of decor for your island is always appreciated. 

 

Open shelving.

Curated Feel: With the popularity of open shelving, curated pieces in your home are now more in than ever. Display your all-time favorites pieces, from crocks to vases, and watch your kitchen come to life with a cozy, contemporary vibe. This design strategy brings your personality to light and keeps your kitchen timeless.

 

New Gadgets: In 2020, just about everything you can buy makes life easier and more enjoyable… and fun kitchen tools are no exception. Try a sleek salad chopper for 5-star quality side dishes, an egg timer for breakfast just the way you want it, or an avocado slicer to add delicious flair to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

 

Colored backsplash.

Let There Be Color: If you are attracted to bright colors, don’t let the minimalist trend sway you. Brightly-colored tile backsplashes are now just as trendy in homes as whites and neutral colors and add so much cheer to your space. Play around with matching furniture and items and don’t be afraid to “color outside the lines.”

 

Kitchen - Plate Rack

Perfectly Plated: You already know that open shelving is having its moment, but did you know that plate racks are coming in hot as well? Whether on your countertop or mounted on a wall, a vintage plate rack is a classic addition that packs contemporary style. Display your beautiful plate ware proudly (and enjoy the convenience).

There’s something uniquely satisfying about introducing a new piece of decor or color into your Homes By Dickerson kitchen. In 2020 and beyond, dust off your interior design skills and get to work on something special for your new space! Cheers to a new year and new beginnings.
