TOP 10 - 2017 Kitchen ideas design

Opt for Architectural Lines

Sometimes a touch of modern architecture is all you should update your look. Kohler's Purist faucet line has a minimalist profile, a 360-degree swivel spout, lever handles, and high clearance for pots and pans. All finishes are complementary to a neutral palette: Polished Chrome (shown), Vibrant Polished Nickel, Matte Black and Vibrant Stainless.

Choose Bold Fixtures

Bold colour is not the only means to create excitement. Kitchen designers used these outsized light fixtures with black fabric shades from Tech Lighting to add some wow: "They Are about 2 feet in diameter and are somewhat bigger than you would anticipate for the space," she says. "But they give a great awareness of depth perception and create drama in a room with a typical low ceiling." The lavish cabinets are Poggenpohl's Marsh Oak Veneer with a rich near-black blot.

Contemporary Combo

Architectors and designers picked the finishes in this kitchen that was open to organize together with the existing tile floor. The Poggenpohl cabinetry in Curit (a warm reddish brown), Titan Gray and Light Yellow makes a comfy combination. Plus, using level-front wood veneer cabinets such as these along with a traditional wood-plank table gives this midcentury home a contemporary vibe.

Flexible Palette

"Keeping a kitchen unbiased enables you to personalize it to reflect your fashion," says IKEA representative Mary Ann Barroso. "This RAMSJÖ kitchen in red-brown can be matched to be on trend with lavenders, purples and mauves — we've a kitchen in our showroom accessorized that way right now." The real treat in this otherwise traditional kitchen is the unexpected light fixtures: IKEA's industrial-elegant OTTAVA pendant lamps in aluminum, with colors made of mouth-blown glass.

Fresh Hues for Sinks

Like kitchen cabinets, sinks are trending away from basic white or stainless steel. This eye-catching green apron-front sink by Kohler was designed by tastemaker Jonathan Adler. A vibrant sink is an effective approach to pop in a little bit of shade in a neutral kitchen or allow it to be more of a focus by using exactly the same hue in the backsplash.

Add In Automation

The kitchen of the future is here today. From detector-activated lights that illuminate the kitchen when it's in use when dinner is done, to meat thermometers that alarm your smartphone, kitchen technology is here to make your life simpler. In case you're new to automation, a fantastic introductory product is a hands-free faucet, like this one by Moen. Perfect for homes with small kids who can't yet achieve any kitchen or the handle where busy cooks frequently have sticky hands.

New Colors for Quartz

Along with natural stone, quartz countertops continue to be tops. Caesarstone lately introduced a line of six neutral colours for its durable quartz countertops. Shown is the grayish-beige "Linen," whose subtle color gradation lends itself nicely to glossy contemporary layouts. Nonporous and are resistant to heat, quartz countertops are also resistant to spills and scrapes, making them a smart choice for busy cooks or families.

Marry the Kitchen to Your Home's Style

"Gone are the times when kitchens were only kitchens — now they are so pretty they could be any room of your home, says designer Jo Ann Alston of her French Normandy-style layout. Jo Ann integrated the appliances for a seamless look and combined light fixtures with different styles and finishes to provide the appearance of having been got over time rather than bought all at once. The assorted gray and brown tones in oak and the Chinese slate flooring complement the Jerusalem gold limestone countertop in the isle, offering a rich appearance that never wanders far from a neutral colour midpoint.

Mix Countertop Materials

In the event you're in the market for a trend-forward laminate, granite, quartz and countertop are your only alternatives. Wood countertops are coming on strong. This kitchen by EnGrain combines cool Calacatta marble for the very best of both worlds and the warmth of wood.
