Kitchen Remodeling Ideas for 2017

It can be a fun and exciting time to remodel your kitchen. You finally have a chance to create your own personal style and touches in the one room of your house that most likely gets the most amount of use. While you certainly want to have a kitchen that is on trend for 2017, you also want to have something that will remain in style years down the road. Below, we have listed some of our favorite trends for kitchen remodels in 2017.

Dark Colored Cabinets:

One of the biggest trends in kitchen design right now is to include dark cabinets. Look for woods with names like Chocolate or Espresso. These dark cabinets can work well for a modern or traditional design. Plus, the dark cabinets blend well with almost any color or material counter top. Both light and dark counters blend well with dark cabinets.

Shaker Style Cabinets:

Shaker cabinets are known for their clean, straight lines and edges. These no-fuss cabinets are becoming more popular and have surged to the forefront as the second most popular cabinet, right behind the traditional paneled kitchen cabinet. Shaker cabinets can work well with just about any kitchen design and can be dressed up or down depending on the hardware you use. 

Furniture Inspired Design:

Lately, the biggest trend in kitchen design for 2017 is to make your kitchen look like the counters and cabinets are a piece of furniture. Because the kitchen is the one room in the house that you spend the most amount of time in, it makes sense that the design is becoming inspired by furniture you may see in the living or dining room. One trend is to see large floor to ceiling cabinets mimic the look of a china cabinet or armoire. Kitchen islands have gone away from having the bulky cabinet underneath and have taken on the appearance of having legs like a dining room table. The best part about the furniture inspired kitchen is that it is a look that is both classic and timeless.
