5 "MUST-HAVE" 2018 KITCHEN TRENDS

1. New metal finishes: such as  matte black and brushed/satin gold tones. Mixing different kinds of metals is another trend (no more matchy-matchy).
   
   
2. Quartz countertops: no doubt, there is still huge demand for granite... but quartz is increasingly being seen in more kitchen (and bath) remodels.
   
   
3. Tailored shiplap: used on kitchen islands and range hoods.
   
   
4. Cabinets with dimensional finishes, textures. The trend increasingly is towards cleaner lines and minimalist appearance for a more contemporary or mid-century modern look. Lightly stained cabinets where the wood grain is clearly visible are making a come-back.
   
   
5. Kitchen storage: to maintain the new cleaner lines and minimalist appearance, lots of new storage ideas to give everything an easily accessible "home" inside cabinets and pantries. In other words, everything in its place and place for everything.

2018 TRENDS IN COLOR FINISHES FOR KITCHENS & BATHROOMS:

Black, white, charcoal grey, and gold colors rule these days for both bathrooms and kitchens. The #1 combination of colors are black and white or grey and white with gold accents. Bold graphic accents keep these combinations from being dull and boring. Dark grey stainless steel appliances are making an appearance to blend in with the charcoal grey cabinets in kitchens. And brass fixtures are making a return appearance in keeping with the gold color accent themes... but now it's satin, not shiny brass. Seems like everything old is new again!
