Kitchens are always evolving. What was once popular is now dated and old. For homeowners who are remodeling their kitchens this year many of them will be incorporating these top kitchen remodeling trends into their design.

Kitchen Countertops – Granite is still the King of the countertop but quartz is making a strong showing. Quartz is stylish, extremely durable, easy to clean and very easy to care for. It also looks fabulous.

Eco Friendly Appliances and Features – The trend to use Energy Star Certified appliances has been strong for a long time now but many homeowners are now using eco friendly material when building or remodeling. Recovered materials are also making a strong show. Using eco friendly cleaning products is also catching on.

Double Ovens – With the holidays barely behind us we all can relate to the need for a double oven. This may be a luxury item but it’s a very practical one as well.

Tile Back Splash –  The Back Splash is where many homeowners throw in that splash of color in their kitchen. With grey the new color of the modern kitchen they can lack that pop of color so the back splash is a great place to put it without going overboard.

Mixing It Up – Countertops don’t all have to be one material anymore. Many homeowners are opting for granite or quartz countertops on the walled counters while wood make a great island countertop.

Stainless Steel – This has been the trend for a while now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon. Sure, people are choosing different appliances but stainless is easy to clean, looks great and is incredibly durable.
