The Top Kitchen Remodeling Trends of 2012

We have already discusses the biggest benefits of a professional kitchen remodel. Now we are going to dive into the realm of kitchen trends. That’s right, kitchen design goes through trends just like clothing. From the bold pastels of the 50’s and wood paneling of the 70’s to the minimalist approach of the 90’s, kitchens have gone through some pretty drastic design changes over the years.

So what is trending in 2012?

Where did the Appliances go? Concealing appliances has become extremely popular as of late. This not only improves kitchen functionality, but it also keeps your kitchen looking from looking overly cluttered.

Kitchen Appliance Color Trends for 2012: This year is all about staying simple. Stainless steel and black appliances will remain incredibly popular for their universal design appeal and clean appearance. Plus they won’t pull attention away from the rest of your kitchen.

Other colors to consider include beige, gray, and cream.

Maple Cabinetry: Need new kitchen cabinets? Maple seems to be the way to go in 2012. As far as cabinet colors, go with white, off-white or maple’s dark natural finish.

Trendy Cabinet Style: There are floating units, cabinets with touch-latch doors, systems that are hidden behind sliding doors, and cabinets with innovative surfaces, such as semi-translucent glass, bamboo, and aluminum.

Custom Countertops: Increased functionality and custom accessories seem to be the top countertop trends for 2012, from countertops with marble pastry slab inserts and wooden butcher blocks, to embedded metal and glass bits.

Renewable Materials: Going green will never go out of style. Choose renewable and recycled materials over natural stone, marble and quarts.

Trendy Kitchen Lighting: The right lighting can really add aesthetic value to any kitchen. Consider installing some accent lighting to draw attention to certain design elements, like glassware, paintings, and pictures.
