Colorful Cabinets

Having colorful cabinets is not a new trend. This trend is easily accomplished as it allows for broad customization. Blue cabinets continue to be popular.

Two-tone cabinets are also popular. One way to do this trend is to have dark cabinets down low and light-colored cabinets up high. Another option is to make the kitchen island one color and the outer wall cabinet another.

Butler Pantry

The butler pantry first appeared in custom home design in the 19th century. Wealthy homes in England and America needed a prep place for the butler and other staff. Traditionally this space provided additional storage, held silver and China, and allowed light meal prep.



Butler pantries are making a comeback, but with a modern twist. Kitchen remodeling contractors can build a butler pantry in addition to the traditional pantry. This space gives homeowners a hidden coffee or alcohol bar, additional food prep space, storage, or a staging area.

Statement Slab Backsplashes

With subway tile taking over for the past few years, people are beginning to look for something different. This has led to large stone slabs growing in popularity. The stone features natural color variation and graining but without the business of grout lines.

We started to see stone slabs used for kitchen island countertops. This led to waterfall counters where the stone continued down one or both sides of the kitchen island.

As a progression of this trend, homeowners are now looking to use stone slabs as the backsplash. Depending on the kitchen design, the stone extends up the wall to the bottom of the upper wall cabinets. Alternatively, the slab could extend up the entire wall to the ceiling.

Oversized and Double Islands

Kitchen islands are making a significant change to modern kitchens. As we spend more time at home, this has led to more meals cooked at home. Also, with more people spending more time in the kitchen, homeowners want more space.

We see more homeowners asking for a custom home design that increases the kitchen's size and adds one oversized kitchen island or dual islands. This creates more space for food prep, storage, and eating. In addition, because the islands are low, they help define the space without blocking the line of sight.
