2017 Kitchen Trends

April 14, 2017

The most in-demand service Hubley Painting & Carpentry offers is kitchen cabinet painting.  We have been brushing up on the trends for kitchens in 2017 so we can properly guide our clients in their decision making process.  We thought we would share some of our favorites with you and some inspiring photos we found online.

  1. Colorful cabinetry

    From Houzz: White kitchens aren’t going anywhere, according to both designers and Houzz research. But designer Jane Lockhart admits that we’ll start to see more color in cabinetry, including navy, black, deep charcoals and cream colors. “Navy and dark colors will be on lower cabinets and islands to contrast with lighter neutrals on uppers,” she says.

  2. Built-in Bars

    From Zillow: Stemming from 2016’s popular bar cart trend, homeowners next year will look for a more permanent solution for entertaining within their home. From built-in shelving for craft cocktail fixings, to a small bar seating area, homeowners are enjoying decorating and hosting more classic parties, and will seek ways to make these spaces more of a focal point within the home.

  3. Quartz Countertops

    From Scott McGillivrays: In the kitchen Quartz is a great idea for  a few reasons  – it looks great, it’s incredibly durable and it won’t scratch or stain. So while it may be considered trendy at the moment, I fully expect Quartz to stick around for the long haul.

  4. Single-Level Islands

    From Better Homes & Gardens: When keeping an open layout, single-level islands allow light to seamlessly stream through a space. Not only do counter-height islands increase the intimacy of a kitchen, they also expand valuable prep space.
