2019 kitchen trends are all about drama and
contrast with artistic details.
Design today is all about creating low-maintenance, bright and open spaces that
bring together traditional ideas with a modern twist.
COLOR Palettes of black and white for sharp
contrast with matte black fixtures creates a very
elegant kitchen. White kitchens are a classic but
today's white kitchens have added drama with
painted cabinets in blues and greens and warm
stained woods. Appliances in matte black and
white stainless steel finishes add high style.
LESS IS MORE Minimalism is still a popular choice
and homeowners are choosing to remove upper
cabinets and include a butler pantry for storage
instead. Metal shelving for decorative storage on
open walls are also a popular choice, giving the
kitchen attitude, style and flexibility.
Dark wood floors are slowly losing their appeal. While they offer a beautiful, dramatic
punch of color, they are also known to be more high maintenance and darken a
room. Lighter blonde or beige flooring is becoming a popular choice as homeowners
look for lower maintenance options that will brighten up a space. These lighter
colors also tend to be more versatile, working with a wider variety of décor and
color schemes. While wide plank options are still king, another popular trend is the
return to traditional flooring patterns like Chevron and Herringbone. Homeowners
are choosing wide plank flooring and having it installed in these traditional patterns.
The wide plank gives the pattern a more modern look and feel, creating the perfect
blend of styles. - Zain Peerani, www.peeranisflooring.com

ARTISTIC DETAILS We're seeing a lot more
attention given to unique or unexpected details
like sinks in bright metallics, hammered finishes
and intricate details. We're also seeing gold
patinas and high end appliances mixed with raw
organics for a traditional look with a modern twist.
Raw organics like warm chestnut wood details
are a great way to add warmth, especially to a
white or white and black kitchen. - Donna Price, www.
