2020 Houzz Home Design
Trend Predictions
1. Colourful kitchens. 2. Sustainability.
With homeowners starting to step
away from the safety of a monochrome
palette, kitchens look set to become
much more colourful in 2020. We’re
increasingly seeing colourful kitchen
photos uploaded to Houzz showing
that homeowners are choosing cabinets
in a range of cheerful shades, from
blues and greens to heathery purples.
But it doesn’t stop there, surprisingly,
one of the new search terms on Houzz
this year was ‘yellow kitchen’; proving
that homeowners are prepared to go
bold with their colour choices. ‘Cream
kitchen’ also made an appearance in the
rising search terms list, marking a step
away from the classic white kitchen. Sustainability is becoming a more
frequently requested feature by
homeowners on Houzz, with 15% of
renovators stating that ‘integrating
green materials’ was a priority when
completing renovations, according to
Houzz research. The word ‘eco’ also
made it into the 2019 most searched
for keywords on Houzz. Many of the
design fairs around the world this year
saw designers rise to the challenge
by experimenting with eco materials,
recyclable products and putting a big
focus on the life cycle of a product, and
this looks set to continue to build in
2020.
