Kitchen Design Trends

Are you tired of the same old design with your kitchen? If so, why not redesign it and add some of the hottest kitchen design trends for 2014. If you aren’t sure of what they are, no worries, we are going to tell you all about the latest and greatest trends for your kitchen in 2014.

Changes in Lighting

In 2014, more people are using less cabinetry above the counter space, and most are relying on cabinets under the counter. Because of this, there is more wall space in the kitchen for different decorations and lighting. A huge hit in 2014 is scone lighting on the kitchen walls. Look for light fixtures in iron, black, and brass finishes if you want to make a statement in your kitchen.

Different Backsplashes

Instead of the usual tile backsplash, this year people are kicking their style up a notch. By using marble slabs as backsplashes you are bringing the beauty of nature’s materials into the kitchen. We usually see marble slabs for counter space, but instead change it up and use it as a backsplash. You will be pleasantly surprised!

Cut Out the Chrome and Nickel

Chrome or nickel fixtures and hardware are so last year! This year it’s all about brass, aged gold, and black. These finishes in fixtures look wonderful with a marble slab backsplash. If you want to reinvent your kitchen and have a fresh, new style, brass, aged gold, and black is your best option.

Cabinetry Looks like Furniture

No more regular and dated cabinetry for your kitchen.  Instead, built-in cabinets are the way to go. With built-in cabinets the framework around your appliances and kitchen is made of cabinets. This allows for even more storage space, but it also gives a new, sleek, and modern look.

The Unfinished Look

The old design style in kitchens was typical and everything look put together and finished. In 2014, it’s all about using raw materials in your kitchen. Exposed beams on the ceiling, brick walls, concrete, and barn board are all a great way to give your kitchen a new style in 2014.
