Industrial Style:
Industrial style blends minimalism and the raw, heavy materials that are becoming popular in kitchens. These environments are not cold and artificial – blending metal, stone and wood adds warmth to industrial style.
Natural Presence:
Natural themes in home remodeling are becoming more popular, and adding the warmth of unfinished wood or the burst of life provided by indoor plants in the kitchen will become increasingly popular in 2018.
Reclaimed Wood Countertops:
Wood is not a material one thinks of when it comes to countertops, but kitchen designers are loving reclaimed timber as countertops. Adding a warm touch and a reminder of nature, reclaimed wood is also more sustainable and nature-friendly.
Natural Meets Modern:
While ‘transitional’ style usually means ‘old meets new,’ the transitional style for kitchen remodels in 2018 will be ‘nature meets modern.’ Designers are increasingly breaking through expectations by taking raw, natural materials and reusing and blending them in unexpectedly modern and innovative ways.
