If you’re anything like us, then you’re excitedly awaiting the new kitchen design trends of 2017! When it comes to kitchens, some trends stick around while others fade away into the past. The services of Kitchens InStyle remain a very popular choice across the South of England. These are a great choice for kitchens near Southampton. Stainless steel is a trend that’s still going strong and not likely to go away anytime soon. On the other hand, we all remember the distinct look of oak cabinets from the 1990s. My friend was telling me about she saved up for her new kitchen recently to keep up with kitchen trends and she said that Simply Switch were so helpful. They found her the best energy quote she could find! So, what kitchen design trends will define 2017?
The Tuxedo Kitchen
Looking for something classic and timeless? Tuxedo kitchens are going to be a big thing in 2017. These kitchens follow a monochromatic color scheme, with one dark color paired against a neutral background. What makes this trend timeless is the subtle and sophisticated look of a dark color paired with a neutral color.
The tuxedo kitchen gets its name from its most popular color scheme: black and white. Sleek black cabinets paired with gleaming white Covington Granite Countertops looks classic and contemporary at the same time. If you’re looking for something different than the traditional black and white, consider pairing a velvety purple with a soft grey, navy blue with eggshell white, or sultry maroon with delicate beige.
Pantone’s Color of the Year
Every winter, Pantone selects a color for the upcoming year that hugely influences fashion and home design. For 2017, Pantone has chosen the color Greenery. This lively green is bursting with energy and optimism. In fact, the color was chosen to represent new beginnings. What a great way to start out the new year!
Although Pantone describes Greenery as “nature’s neutral”, we recommend using it as an accent color in your kitchen. Because of its bright, attention-grabbing hue, you only need a splash of Greenery to add a dose of vivaciousness to the kitchen! Consider adorning your windows with green window treatments, or choose a single wall or cabinet door to paint with the cheerful color. Greenery also complements houseplants, highlighting their natural colors. So, put a few plants in your windowsill next to your green curtains to rejuvenate your kitchen!
Warmer and Cozier
One of the biggest kitchen design trends we’ll see this year is the shift towards warmer and cozier spaces. Homeowners want their kitchens to be places that are comfortable for the family to gather and spend time together. Here are a few things that will be trending this year that you can add to your kitchen design:
- Satin brass hardware. Warm metals like copper and bronze have been making a comeback. These metals combine shiny golden tones with a down-to-earth ambiance. This year, designers are enhancing the cozy look of these metals by giving them brushed or satin finishes, as opposed to a reflective, polished finish. It’s easy to incorporate drawer pulls, faucets, and other fixtures made of satin brass in your remodel or to simply update your kitchen’s features with satin brass hardware.
- Terracotta tiles. A floor or backsplash made of terracotta brings a sunny, laid back feeling to the kitchen.
- Breakfast nooks. The breakfast nook sets aside a special place to enjoy your morning coffee or have dinner with your family. Breakfast nooks are small, private areas where you can relax while you enjoy a delicious meal and great company. Establish your breakfast nook next to a big window and adorn it with a few soft cushions and it’ll be the coziest and most peaceful spot in the house!
