Every year there are subtle changes and trends with kitchens in Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Ocean Reef, Miami Lakes, Key Largo, FL, and the surrounding areas, and this year is no different. These changes are often driven by enhancements to the space, which is meant to be a functional space first, but gets used in a number of ways each day. At Trimline Design Center, we keep on the lookout for these changes to bring them to our clients to help make their kitchen work better for how they use the room. This year brings more of the warm, natural colors and textures back into the kitchen, while at the same time utilizing the latest in technology. The rise of the scullery pantry to help keep the main kitchen looking good, as well as positioning smart appliances that are controlled by apps to be available when needed. Keeping things hidden yet plugged in for use is important, and the island continues to be the multipurpose landing point for all members of the family. Contact us today to discuss more of these trends and how they can impact your kitchen remodeling plans.
Keeping The Mess Out of the Kitchen
One would think that with the major appliances, like the oven, refrigerator, and other devices in the kitchen properly, that’s where a lot of the work of meal prep would also take place. More and more, homeowners are looking at butlers’ pantries or scullery pantries where this prep can take place, where the kitchen is the presentation space. And in many ways, this makes sense as much of the needed ingredients are also located in these back pantries.
Decorations in the kitchen are starting to make a comeback as well. Gone are the days of the basic lines and no-frills cabinets and in their place comes more decorative touches with countertop edges, more decorative knobs and pulls for cabinets, and even dressing up larger pieces like the vent hood over the range to blend in a bit more but still look fancy.
Wood is Making a Strong Impact
More and more natural tones and wood are coming back into vogue, but not necessarily the dark colors. Earthy colors like greens, browns, and blues are desirable, especially for islands and even upper cabinets. Flooring is also getting an update with attractive patterns and again more earthy colors and tones rather than flashy and bold colors.
Kitchens in Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, Ocean Reef, Miami Lakes, Key Largo, FL, and the surrounding areas are the true gathering place of the home, so the desire to keep it tidy is understandable, as long as there is another prep space available. Trimline Design Center can show you many options that have those more earthy colors and textures which will make your kitchen trendy yet inviting.
