6 Kitchen Remodeling Trends to Try in 2020

We're officially in a brand-new year, and we couldn't be more excited for everything 2020 has to offer—especially new design trends! While the previous year was full of fun styles, we're looking forward to incorporating the kitchen remodeling trends 2020 has in store for our clients. Read about a few we think we'll be seeing below!

Shades of Blue

It's safe to say; we love a crisp white kitchen as much as the next person. However, Pantone's 2020 Color of the Year, classic blue, indicates we'll be seeing more shades of blue in 2020. An excellent spot for a blue hue? Kitchen cabinets! For example, navy blue cabinetry adds a touch of drama to any kitchen design and pairs well with other remodeling trends, like brass hardware and warm wood.

Double Islands

For many, a kitchen remodel involves transforming the existing space into something more functional. Adding double islands to your kitchen design is the perfect way to do that. Double islands improve a kitchen's functionality without disrupting the traffic flow. They're also a great way to delineate meal preparation spaces from serving and gathering spaces.

Steel Range Hoods

Range hoods have become a major focal point in kitchens, with many homeowners opting for stainless steel and wood finishes. In 2020, this kitchen remodeling trend is veering more towards metallics. Steel range hoods are available in a range of shapes and finishes, so finding a style that fits your kitchen remodel is a breeze!

Warm Wood Tones

Lately, homeowners are gravitating less towards the popular grey and white kitchen, and more towards natural finishes. Warm wood tones are a timeless finish that appeals to many and adds warmth to remodeled spaces. From wood surfaces to cabinetry to accents, the options are endless. What's even more appealing is that natural wood complements a variety of styles, making it easy to create a fresh take on a classic kitchen design.

Mix & Match Lighting

Lighting has come a long way in recent years and serves a purpose beyond just providing illumination. In a thoughtfully designed kitchen, it can serve a multitude of functions: brightening the room, delineating one space from another, and illuminating specific tasks. When remodeling your kitchen, carefully consider how you use the space and how different types of lighting (ambient, layer, and task lighting) will impact you. Once you have an idea of what you need, you can get to work mixing and matching various lighting styles that are beautiful and functional. Just make sure to keep one element, such as finish or shape, consistent among each piece for a cohesive look.

Brass Accents

Brass accents are a kitchen remodeling trend gaining traction in 2020. Popular places to incorporate brass accents are cabinet hardware, light fixtures, and kitchen faucets. Available in many different finishes, brass makes a statement without being too overbearing. The best part? It blends well with a variety of styles. Brass especially pops against dark, moody cabinetry, making it the ideal companion for another 2020 kitchen remodeling trend, navy millwork.
