If you are planning a kitchen renovation in time for the holidays, we have your 4 biggest trends for 2017 that will help make your new modern kitchen space become the heart of the home, a comfortable space for entertaining or preparing dinner for your family.
OPEN CONCEPT
While open kitchen is not completely a new trend nor is it a layout suitable for everyone, it is a trend that is not going anywhere soon and is actually based entirely on the lifestyle of family gatherings and entertaining as well as on the modern notion of an airier, lighter living centered around casual lifestyle. An open concept kitchen is definitely attractive but can also be a source of “domino-effect” yielding fluid aesthetics across the living and dining spaces. So choose color palette that will be easily carried beyond the kitchen or from the living space, into the kitchen.
PATTERN
Gone are the days of extreme uniformity when it comes to kitchen surfaces and finishes, as patterns are becoming exceedingly prevalent in kitchen design. Trendy patterns help break long rows of cabinets and tall monochromatic cupboards while at the same time introducing an opportunity to be bold and creative. While patterned cabinetry may not be your cup of tea, back-splash, floors, or the island may be a great place to add playfulness and visual depth as well as appliance paneling. Trotter kitchen by Porcelanosa is a great example of patterned island and a few different finishes for the cabinets and appliance panels.
METALLICS
Brass, steel, copper and bronze are no longer considered out of style as metallic surfaces and finishes have made their way back to modern interiors. While brass, bronze and copper bring a warmer touch without undermining the glitzy nature of modern design, other favorites like chrome, black chrome and stainless steel help bridge wooden surfaces with ultra-contemporary style. Leading Italian kitchen brands like Varenna use an entirely steel island in the Artex collection to blend bronze glass and wooden surfaces.
ORGANIZATION
Built-in drawer organizers are becoming an absolute must in the kitchen. Offering not only the convenience, but also the modern sophistication that evokes a new way of living, one where we are encouraged to be better organized and be better equipped to utilize our kitchen to its maximum spatial and functional capacity like the utensil drawer organizers from Pedini kitchens.
