Happy New Year! What are your resolutions? If one of them is to remodel your kitchen, now is as good a time as any to start. And Bath, Kitchen & Tile Center can help you—to get you started, we’ve compiled a list of kitchen remodeling trends for 2013!
Green design elements: Green kitchen design will probably always be popular! You have plenty of options when it comes to environmentally friendly elements—from bamboo cabinet veneer, cork flooring, LED lighting, recycled paper countertops, and more.
Neutral colors: A neutral color scheme (white and off-white, black, gray, brown, tan, etc.) is also a kitchen trend that is most likely here to stay. Neutral colors complement all kitchen styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Countertop updates: According to a Russell Research survey on 2013 kitchen remodeling choices, countertops are among the most popular, at 76 percent. Granite, quartz, marble, and laminate are all popular choices for countertop materials.
New wall coverings: According to the Russell Research survey, wall coverings are also popular. Aside from the obvious interior paint (which can look great), you can get more creative with your wall coverings, including wood wainscot, leather panels, faux stone, etc.
Cabinetry updates: Wood cabinetry will always be “in” and it’s not hard to see why. Although other materials, such as stainless steel, may be more durable, nothing beats the natural beauty of wood.
Also, when it comes to kitchen remodeling, keep in mind that function always trumps form. While it’s nice to have a beautiful kitchen, a fully efficient and functional kitchen is more important. Plus, with the right company, you can have a kitchen that’s attractive, well designed, and meets all your needs!
