As you read in our previous blog, one of the first steps to designing your Kitchen Remodel is selecting the style you would like for your fixtures and décor. Kitchens no longer just serve as a functional room; they have become the central gathering places for families and friends.
At Agape, our Interior Designers love opportunities to experiment with more modern styles than the traditional ones you see everywhere. Here we will cover some of the most common (and trendy) kitchen styles, including the elements each include.
It is very important to keep in mind the type of layout and workflow that fit best with each of these styles as you assess which is best for you and your family’s dream kitchen.
Neo Traditionalism
This is contemporary style that barrows from the past, harmoniously uniting the old with the new. This look can be achieved by using more traditional style cabinetry, vintage lighting and accents while juxtaposing them with more contemporary elements such as slab countertops and backsplashes.
Mixed metals – Stainless Steel and Gold finishes with Simple Shaker style cabinets. Pop of pattern on the Island.
Farmhouse sink with simple Subway Tile. Wood shelving for a nice contrast to the painted gray cabinets. Another great use of mixed metals.
Classic Vintage Elements of original home seamlessly blended with Modern Cabinets & Appliances.
Sophisticated Kitchen Design
This style definitely looks out more for Function over Form. With this in mind, people are moving to open space for storage instead of all closed cabinetry. Appliances are higher end and multifunctional. Everyday electronics are also given ample space.
Open Shelving with Quartz countertops and Dramatic Backsplash.
Another example of Open Shelves, Clean Sleek Lines, Contemporary lighting accents.
Great Economic Use of Small Space for Technology Area.
Modern Kitchen Design
Features clean flat surfaces and little or no ornamentation. These layouts thrive in their simple and clean lines. The color palette is generally monochromatic, accented with dramatic and intentional pops of color.
