kitchen trends: what’s In, what’s out, and how to choose what works for you

Feeling overwhelmed by all the kitchen trends out there? You’re not alone. With so many choices, it’s easy to get stuck deciding what’s right for your home. But here’s the good news—you don’t need to follow every trend! We’re here to guide you through the latest kitchen trends and show you how to pick the ones that fit your style and lifestyle. Let’s make it simple!

why pay attention to trends?

Kitchen trends can be helpful because they introduce new ideas and smarter ways to design your space. But that doesn’t mean you have to jump on every new trend. The key is to pick what feels right for you—trends should make your life easier, not more complicated.

• Gloss Cabinets: Matte finishes have ruled for a while, but glossy cabinets are making a comeback. Think bold colours like burgundy or navy that add a polished, vibrant and rich feel to your kitchen. Glossy cabinets are also great for bouncing light around and brightening up the space.

• Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is back, and it’s perfect for a busy, hard-working kitchen. It’s tough and durable, though it does scratch over time. The good news? Those scratches blend into a brushed finish, giving your kitchen a lived-in look that only gets better with age.

• Zellige Tiles: These beautiful, handmade tiles bring texture and shine to your kitchen. They have a unique, uneven finish that reflects light, adding character to your space. Plus, they’re timeless and versatile, perfect for kitchens where you want a mix of trendy and classic.

what’s out: trends to skip (for now)

• Black and White Kitchens: While black and white has been a classic combo, it’s starting to feel overdone. If you’re after something more current, try incorporating warmer tones like wood or soft neutrals to add depth and coziness.

• Butler’s Pantry: The butler’s pantry has been a must-have for a while, but it’s become so common that it’s no longer a standout feature. If you have the space and need it, it’s still practical, but don’t feel like you need one just because everyone else has it.

how to choose the right trends for you

1. Think About Your Lifestyle:
If you have a busy household, durability and easy maintenance are key. Trends like gloss cabinets and stainless steel work well because they’re practical and easy to clean, making your kitchen look great with minimal effort.

2. Stick to What You Love:
Just because something is trendy doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Pick elements that align with your personal style. If you love something timeless—like Zellige tiles—go for it! Don’t feel pressured to follow every trend.

3. Start Small:
You don’t need a total kitchen makeover to stay on-trend. Start with small updates that make a big impact—like swapping out the backsplash, updating your lighting, or adding new cabinet hardware. These little changes can make your kitchen feel fresh without overwhelming you.
