Top 10 Kitchen Design Trends For 2019

In 2019, many homemakers will look to refresh their favorite spaces, often starting in the kitchen.  In 2018, we saw everything from banquette-style seating to two-toned kitchen cabinetry, and will continue to see innovative new designs prevail in the new year.

Whether you are planning to remodel your kitchen or get inspired for a simple refresh, there is a whole new crop of design trends to consider for 2019.

1.  Clever, Concealed Storage

Concealed and clean integration in kitchen designs, with maximized and clever storage solutions.















2.  Pewter And Gunmetal Hardware

They are not as harsh as matte black or as specific as brass or gold, but it gives fixtures some texture and depth.

3.  Open Shelving

Inspired by hotel and retail spaces, this adds to the overall bold statements many want to make in their homes, forgoing the minimalism that was popular in years past.

4.  Vintage Vibe

Think honed, natural stone, organic basalt tiles, hand wrapped rattan furniture and vintage inspired fixtures and lighting.













5.  Colored Upholstery

2019 is officially closing the door on pure white kitchens.  Even if it is just one element of accent color - blue counter stools, a patterned roman shade or powdered coated island pendants-pops of color will be sneaking into the pure white blank slate of kitchens past.

6.  Use Of Wood

Seek connections from nature.  It creates a welcoming and calming environment, and is a timeless, versatile material we love.  There is a growing desire for lighter, airier spaces, and wood is a wonderful material to incorporate to achieve this.

7.  Colored Cabinetry

Incorporate colored cabinets in kitchens while moving away from all white cabinetry.  Making a statement and creating a mood with cabinetry, like using deep or grey-washed blues and greens is in high demand.  These are being paired with fixtures and hardware in brass and other contrasting metals.











8.  Contrasting Textures

Think mirrored backsplashes with highly-polished, chunky Calacatta oro marble work tops or cupboards with textured bronze inlays and matte cupboard fronts with sandblasted timbers for a layered urban glamour.

9.  Raw Materials

In 2019, modern kitchen design will be about going back to basics.  Kitchens are being pared down to allow raw materials to shine on their own.  Think wood, stone, shiplap and jute.













10.  Tall Backsplashes

Tall backspashes clad with heavily veined marble such as Arabascatto or Calcatta Oro will be making waves in high-brow design circles.
