Here are five of the latest kitchen design trends with legitimate
staying power: 

1. Fewer upper cabinets. This doesn’t necessarily mean that
people want less storage. It means, rather, that they want a less
cluttered look to their cabinets. What we’re seeing is you have to
be a little more creative in finding other spaces to store the kind
of important things that upper cabinets use to store. 

2. Comfortable seating areas. We all know that everyone
hangs out in the kitchen when you’re entertaining company, so we’re
seeing the addition of more “soft” spaces or seating areas in
kitchens where people can relax while others are entertaining or
cooking. 

3. Steam convection oven. With everyone on a health kick
because we’re still near the beginning of the new year, we’re
seeing more of these types of ovens, which allow you to steam your
food.

All homes are being connected to devices in one way or another,
and we’re seeing kitchens follow suit.

4. Induction cooktops. These have been popular in
Europe for many years, but they’re just now catching on in America.
Induction cooktops have a glass-metal surface with coils
underneath. The coils don’t heat up until they have a magnetic
connection with your cookware, so when you take your cookware off,
the surface is cool again and you don’t have to worry about a
lingering hot stove. These also allow you to save
energy. 

5. Smart kitchens. All homes are being connected to devices
in one way or another, and we’re seeing kitchens follow suit. Some
of the more popular additions we’re seeing are refrigerators with
cameras inside them to remind you which groceries you need and
touch faucets.
