Homeowners Reveal Top Kitchen Design Trends for 2014
Does your kitchen need a face lift?
Kitchens featuring black counter tops, open shelves or glass-front cabinets and darker paint tones will be popular with homeowners next year. Additionally, kitchens top the list of spaces homeowners plan to remodel this coming year!
So, if you are thinking about putting your home on the market for sale this Spring, you may want to consider throwing out the proverbial "kitchen sink".
The top kitchen trends for 2014 are:
Black Counters: Black kitchen counters will be all the rage next year, with homeowners looking to add sophistication to their kitchen. Popular materials to achieve this look will include black granite and quartz. Zillow Digs Board of Designers Member, Adam Hunter of Adam Hunter, Inc. in West Hollywood, Calif., likes "black granite that is honed or has a leather finish" to provide a tasteful, yet dramatic look. Expect to see black countered-kitchens paired with a lighter counter such as marble or light gray for contrast.
Open Shelves and Glass-front Cabinets: Displaying kitchen wares is a growing trend among all kitchen types, not just contemporary and traditional farmhouse kitchens. As the kitchen has become a central meeting place for family and friends, presentation has become a priority for many homeowners. It is now fashionable to display almost everything in the kitchen — from dishes to pots and pans to gourmet oils and vinegars.
Darker Paint Tones: Homeowners identified black, deep brown and dark red and copper tones as some of the most popular paint colors. Since dark colors may make a space feel smaller, designers recommend painting just one wall a deep shade, or consider painting the ceiling or floor.
Now that you know the coolest, hippest look, how do you start?
