By: NBS Lumber Elegant Cabinetry Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry removes that awkward space between cabinet and ceiling and mixes well with open shelves. Judicious use of glass panes allows highlighting special pieces or collections. Seamless Storage Efficiency Customized, efficiency features for a cabinet or drawer continue to surge in popularity: • Silverware drawers with vertical dividers • Pull out vertical drawers for baking sheets, pizza pans and cooling racks • Small tilt-out bins for bulk cooking ingredients • Slide-out recycling bins A Kitchen Window with Style Large kitchen windows, especially with arched frames and multiple panes, create a stunning focal point. A picture window above the sink overlooking the garden creates a striking impression on guests and a relaxing respite during clean-up. Wall Skylights Whether or not your kitchen can accommodate a picture window, you may want to join the trend for bulkhead or strip windows on exterior walls right at ceiling height. They let indirect light enter and offer natural, changing accents of leaves, clouds and blue sky. Translucent Pantry Doors Pantry doors with frosted glass panes change a “food closet” into an attractive highlight. Add soft interior lighting and a warm ambience is lent to the rest of the kitchen. Sliding Partition between Kitchen and Living Area Though the overall trend is a blend of open space, there are times when you want to divide the kitchen from the rest of the house. A sliding door on old-fashioned open rails is a popular option, especially if your décor emphasizes a country kitchen look. Splashy, Warm Color Spots The use of light, coral paint colors and multiple shades of white, even gray, continue to rise in popularity. To these, add stimulating accents such as neon yellows that strike the eye with a bright glow. These impart a sunny disposition to you and your guests. Rich, Velvety Hues Darker blues such as navy or cobalt mixed with rich hues of magenta or cranberry are also in vogue for new kitchen designs. They add both elegance and mystery to any kitchen, especially coupled with lighter hues of white or subtler pastels. Natural Finish Materials Polished, natural stone and colored glass are building materials that are catching on with trendsetters for backsplashes, floor trim and accents. Colors, textures and finishes can be found to match any kitchen décor. Green, Lean Lighting CFL lighting is so last year. The brightness of new LED technology makes them an unobtrusive, versatile choice. They sip energy, last 10 times longer and come in an amazing range of colors. Inexpensive 12V lighting strips are perfect for under-counter lighting and dimmable LED lamps are ideal mood setters. A Kitchen for the Future The coming year is full of new ideas for space-saving, efficiency and classy looks that will endure ephemeral fashion fads. Whether your kitchen renovation is a touch-up or a complete re-do, take advantage of these new trends while blending in with the current look of your home and you will have a winner that can go the distance.
