Kitchen Design Trends For 2022

Kitchen Design Trends

Planning to remodel your kitchen this year? The last thing you want in your design is something that starts to feel dated in just a few years. That’s why you want to know the latest trends in kitchen design before you begin your kitchen remodeling plans. Staying up to date on 2022’s kitchen design trends will ensure your kitchen has a long lifespan ahead of it. Let’s look at some of the trends you can expect to see this year, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association.

More than Just White

A bold color can be a little risky because you just don’t know how long that color can avoid looking outdated, but despite this, bold colors are making their way back into kitchens. White kitchens are a thing of the past as homeowners are looking for brighter and bolder colors on not just accent pieces, but pretty much everything from cabinets to walls to sinks. Expect to see vivid backsplashes and matte plumbing fixtures. The most popular of these bolder colors are greens and blues as a testament to nature and looking more natural.

Nature is Welcome

Speaking of nature, having an all-natural look is very important to homeowners. The trends lately, and going into 2022, have been for materials, styles, and looks to be more organic and natural. For example, you’ll find more wood and recycled materials such as wood hoods and cabinetry with natural wood grain. Open floors plans are still popular, and expanding on that idea, homeowners want more windows and doors in the kitchen space. Again, this goes back to nature and wanting to let the outside in.

Luxury All Over

Apart from more natural-looking cabinetry, expect to see changes in other appliances and materials. For countertops, that means lighter quartz materials and waterfall edges. With backsplashes, you’ll see long subway or slab tiles, meaning there is less grout to deal with. LVP flooring is very popular. This is Luxury Vinyl Plank, which is a durable and beautiful alternative to hardwood flooring. When installed correctly, LVP perfectly mimics the look, texture, and warmth of real wood. Deeper base cabinets and fewer upper cabinets will be used for better storage. Other appliance trends include galley or workstation sinks and microwave and dishwasher drawers.
