The transitional seasons of autumn and spring are good times to think about updating home décor with the help of Austin kitchen and bath remodeling professionals. If your kitchen is due for an update, here are some exciting trends for 2020 and beyond that may give this important room the unique atmosphere you are looking for.
1. Bold Colors
Bright oranges, cool blues, or even dark, dramatic blacks are all viable colors for your kitchen. You should base your choice less on current trends and more on your personal preferences. Think about the feeling you want to create within your kitchen and choose color(s) that produce that effect on you.
2. Marble
It’s not just for countertops anymore. Those who have the means are now adding marble backsplashes to the walls for added luxury. Those who cannot afford more marble surfaces in their kitchens are choosing smaller accessories made of the material, such as bowls or plates.
3. Handle-less Cabinets
“Simple” and “streamlined” are the current buzzwords when it comes to kitchen cabinetry, and homeowners are achieving the look with handle-less models. The look can be achieved with recessed handles or push-open cupboard doors.
4. LED Lighting
LED lighting is more efficient and lasts longer than other types. Though the bulbs do not produce much heat, the light they produce is no longer as stark and chilly-feeling as it was in the past because of the continual advancement in technology.
5. Deep Drawers
Now, here’s an idea that is practical as well as attractive! Deep drawers are more accessible and make cooking and storage so much easier. They are likely to be most effective when placed near the range.
6. Open Layout
Gone are the days when cooking and dining areas were strictly separated and isolated from the rest of the house. Open kitchen layouts provide a more comfortable cooking environment and a less formal dining experience. Family members and guests alike should find an open kitchen more friendly and inviting, and whoever does the cooking will appreciate feeling more included in the activities.
