Kitchen design, much like fashion and home decor, follows trends that ebb and
flow. The kitchen, as the heart of the home, is a major selling factor for most
buyers and the place where most people spend the most time in their property.

So, I've chatted with some local builders, and I've done my online research. Here are 10 kitchen design
trends for 2020. I'll leave the citations for these
sources in the description box below. Number one. Three tone kitchens. Two tone
kitchens have been a thing for a while. You'll often see them with the bay of
cabinets underneath the island being an accent color while the perimeter
cabinets are a single color, or maybe you'll see the upper cabinets be one
color while the lower cabinets are another color. Well, designers are playing
upon that and building on it. We now have three tone kitchens where you'll
find three main colors going on. The three tone kitchen plays with
asymmetry, keeps the eye moving, and really designate different workspaces in the
kitchen. Black, gray, and navy cabinets have been strong players on the colored
cabinet scene for a few years now, but designers are saying that we are going
to see even more blue cabinets as we roll into 2020.
This really isn't surprising considering the Pantone Color Institute named its
color of the year "classic blue." Trend number three. Wood cabinets. There's a
growing interior designing trend to bring the outside in. Bring those natural
elements into the home space and the kitchen is no different. Now before you
get upset and start having flashbacks about honey oak cabinets, rest easy and
know that these wood tones are more things like beautiful wood-grained
walnut or light and airy maple. Number four. Speaking of wood, it's showing up in
other places too, for instance the top of your center kitchen island. Butcher block,
anyone? Trend number five. Speaking of islands, let's chat about those islands
that have gotten so big they really should be called continents! Research
shows that about one-third of all homeowners, when they're undergoing a
kitchen remodeling project, decide to have a kitchen island that's at least
seven feet long. Trend number six. To match those super sized islands
homeowners are in love with super-sized light fixtures. Big statement lights.
Trend number seven. Mixed metals. The kitchen is really ground zero when
it comes to homeowners wanting a space to play with mixed metals in their homes.
There's a lot of easy ways to mix it up in the kitchen, but keep in mind that
designers really recommend sticking to three or less metal tones in one space.
As an added bonus, all of those blue cabinets you might be thinking of
putting in will really pop with brushed bronze or gold hardware. Trend number
eight. Custom appliance colors. The days of white, black, stainless, or gunmetal
gray for your kitchen appliances may finally be coming to an end. Now
homeowners can purchase custom appliance colors for a big pop of color in the
kitchen. Trend number nine. Slab backsplashes. Homeowners are saying goodbye
to all of those grout lines. Now they're taking whatever their countertop surface
material is and just running it straight up the backsplash. Trend number 10. It's
definitely on the practical side. Custom storage solutions. Nobody wants to have a
show-stopping kitchen with cluttered counter tops, so kitchen design is really
making special places for all of your must-haves in the kitchen. Hey, thanks for
