SPOTLIGHT
Cooking in Style As the certified center of the modern home, kitchen trends have become a great index for home design. A kitchen plan that is functional, efficient and inviting is a proven asset to your investment while providing a useful space that your entire family will enjoy. Designing a well-planned kitchen should be a priority as it should be
functional as well as beautiful. Once the footprint is established, the surface materials, light fixtures, paint colors and cabinets will vary by taste and season, but there are some kitchen elements that we believe are here to stay for a while. If you are building or remodeling in 2020, here are some design ideas to consider.
CLEAN AND SIMPLE Serving as both functional and aesthetically pleasing, kitchens will continue to be defined by simplicity with a little drama. By removing the clutter and adding dramatic lines and colors to cabinets topped with showpiece countertops, this room gains the kind of appeal that makes guests want to linger and enjoy. Homeowners are gravitating towards clever, concealed storage options that are neatly integrated into the total design. You can also expect to see integrated appliances. Slim-lined hoods that turn on automatically, seamless induction cooktops that blend into counter spaces, bold colors like black and teal and appliances that don’t stick out everywhere are the new face of luxury.
