Kitchen Design Trends For 2014

If you're searching for kitchen design inspiration, here is a listing of wonderful trends for 2014.

1) Transitional design is growing in popularity. Even with traditional design using a strong arm here in Colonial, consumers want sleek, clean lines rather than a great deal of detail within the doors.

2) Neutrals, which have played a large role as wall colors, have finally jumped into kitchen cabinet finishes. Greys, grey/whites, putty and tans are now preferred colors over pure white for cabinets.

3) Large single bowl sinks still reign king, however with increased interesting materials and textures. Copper, polished chrome, fireclay and soapstone are a few fun finishes individuals are investing in their kitchens.

4) Glass mosaic backsplash is sold everywhere now, however the 2014 twist would be to have a single pane of glass using the back painted in any accent color you want. It's simpler to keep clean because it has no grout lines, which is a sleeker look.

5) Access to Wi-Fi is essential for that kitchen area. More consumers work from their islands, lookup recipes on their own kindles and they're checking their favorite social networking pages over coffee each morning.

6) Multiple refrigeration is key for that a variety of diets consumers are following within their homes.

Different humidity levels are key with vegetables and grains while light and temperature are important to wine and cheese.
