If you’re getting ready to renovate our kitchen and bath, think gray, black, and matte for contemporary charm.

Grays are replacing natural wood cabinetry

Shades of gray are the hottest kitchen and bath trends for 2016.

Both the kitchen and the bathroom should be light and vibrant and welcoming, but working with shades of white is seen and done. For a refreshing new look for your kitchen and bath, look for cabinetry in gray and silver colors. Gray makes a little more of a statement than white, and it still goes with all other colors and textures. Grays can go from almost white, to almost black, giving you more than 50 shades of gray to play with to express your personality.
The perfect shade of gray can make your kitchen and bath look expensive, without being flashy.

Cast iron hardware and black appliances

Since the return of the rustic kitchen, and the new trend towards gray cabinetry and walls we see a trend toward country chic matte black hardware. Accent your grays with cast iron knobs, pulls, hinges, towel bars, toiletry holders, and more.
Similarly, you’ll be seeing a lot more black or dark appliances in the kitchen. A black oven is like a modern day take on having a cast iron pot bubbling over an open fire.

The added beauty of matte colors

Matte gray colors are contemporary country chic.

Matte colors, as opposed to glossy, have the added benefit of hiding dirt and oil better. Family homes with kids will appreciate matte colors being able to hide the inevitable oily finger and handprints of kids running about the house.

Express your personal style

Just because it’s trendy, doesn’t mean it suits your style. Personal style is the biggest trend of all. It is what keeps us innovative and always looking for new ways to help our clients design their dream kitchen and bath.

Latest in Kitchen Design Trends

kitchen remodelling and design

Kitchen trends change with the wind, and it can sometimes be hard to keep up. The good news is that ultimately, your kitchen design comes down to function and your personal style, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t be inspired by the latest kitchen trends of 2016.

Soft, muted colors are making a comeback

White has for a long time been the predominant color in kitchen decor. White symbolized cleanliness, which is crucial in a kitchen. No one wants a meal cooked from a kitchen that looks dirty. White will also brighten your kitchen, bringing more light and more energy. But, white accents and colors in a modern kitchen are slowly being fazed out by more subtle, muted colors. We’re not talking bright, bold colors, but just a hint of yellow, green, and blue accents are making their way into the 2016 kitchen designs.

Muted blues are making their way into modern kitchen designs to offset the traditional white.

Of course, a big splash of color can make a great statement in a kitchen otherwise filled with muted or white accents. And, it’s right on trend with a modern/Euro kitchen design.

Functional kitchen design

But, it’s not all about aesthetics and style. Your color choices are important, but it is also important that our kitchens keep up with technology. When you are designing your kitchen, take all of your electronic devices, tablets, phones, etc. into consideration. You’re no longer going to need space for your bulky kitchen TV, but you may want a charging station for your tablets so that you can watch your favorite shows as you’re cooking dinner for your family.

Of course, you’re also going to want a kitchen that can house all of your kitchen appliances without taking up all of your counter space. Functionality should be a big part of your design, and that includes all of our gadgets and toys, whether they can cook a meal, or keep you up to date on the latest news and trends by having your phone oriPadd handy.
