Everyone wants their home to look and function at its best. Homeowners always look out for things and trends that can redefine the home space and some uniqueness and freshness to its appearance.

Modern kitchens differ from traditional ones, as their look and function have changed significantly over time. It is always exciting for homeowners to design a new kitchen that stays on top of the latest trends without compromising functionality. Modern homeowners are willing to incorporate new designs and styles and experiment with different layouts and finishes, making designers come up with innovative design ideas.
If you are undertaking a kitchen remodeling project, knowledge of the latest trends can help decide what works best for your space to offer it an up-to-date feel.
Here we mention the top trends in kitchen remodeling that can help refresh the décor and features to add style, elegance, and flair to the kitchen:
Go for darker tones

Dark gray exposed wood grain cabinets
Move over traditional white and bright kitchen colors and embrace the bold and vibrant darker hues. The classic white cabinets are slowly on their way out, and people are using wood stains or paint colors to add a pop of color to their kitchens, offering them a dramatic and luxurious appearance. Apart from cabinets, paint the walls with brighter shades, use different shades for chairs or barstool. Considering two opposite shades for a contrast look will make the kitchen stand out. Two-tone kitchens offer limitless choices and give freedom to play with colors for cabinets, worktops, and walls. Colorful kitchens look inviting and provide a unique feel.
A beautiful backsplash

Backsplashes are an excellent addition to any kitchen that can give it a completely new look. Consider painting, wallpaper, shiplap, patterned tiles, two-way tiles, ceramic, glass tiles, and natural stones for a different look. Experiment with the installation to offer it a unique appearance. You can choose to blend it with the rest of the kitchen or opt for contrast.
Smart kitchens

No aspect of our lives is untouched by technology, and kitchens are no exception. If you are remodeling the kitchen, do not forget to add elements to make it smart for convenience and save time and energy. Smart kitchens are the future as they are efficient and sustainable. You can now integrate technology into every kitchen appliance and function, from faucets, refrigerators, and lighting systems to even a coffee maker when building a new kitchen. For older kitchens, add sensors and smart gadgets to make it more convenient.
Large islands

Incorporating large islands in the modern kitchen design serves various purposes. They can be used for storage, prepping food, a place to dine in together, and even for work and study. It is good, especially for kitchens that lack storage space. People are now choosing islands in contrasting colors with their cabinets, with blue and gray being the top hues. You can also consider double islands instead of one large one for extra storage and workspace. One of the hottest island installation trends is to install a sink in them. Though smaller than the main sink, it is convenient for washing vegetables, wash hands, or fill glasses.
Colorful appliances

Black appliances
If you are looking to replace the old and outdated appliances, a unique way to add a design twist to the kitchen is to choose from a range of colorful and beautifully designed appliances. Available in bold colors and attractive patterns, you are sure to find a hue to suit your taste and complement the kitchen design. Newer ones are more energy-efficient and beautiful looking.
Light it up
No homeowners can undermine the importance of lighting in the kitchen. It is essential to have multiple light sources for better illumination. While large statement lights, under the cabinet lights, pendants, and recessed lights can brighten up space after dark, modern homeowners prefer natural light during the day, offering a better connection to the outdoors. While remodeling, add more windows or install a glass door for a stylish look.

Open shelving
More and more homeowners are adopting open shelving to store cutlery and other things instead of hiding them inside. It will offer a great contrast from your old kitchen and make the space appear larger. You can adopt several creative ways to make them appear more stunning. Install them either throughout the kitchen or at particular spots. Place decorative items, glasses, white dishes, or colorful dinner set on it for display.
Some other design trends include adding wood finishes, marble, concrete, or granite countertops, oversized pantries, elegant kitchen accessories, vinyl flooring, larger cabinets, hidden appliances, and handless cabinets.
