Styles that have been reigning champs for years such as all-white kitchens, granite countertops and stainless-steel sinks will see a decline in popularity as homeowners exchange these seemingly timeless styles with statement floors and more practical countertops and sinks in 2018. Learn more about what kitchen design trends are expected to take over in the coming year.
Out
- Granite countertops – Ten years ago granite countertops were a priority for anyone renovating their kitchen, but despite their durability, granite countertops are losing their appeal among consumers.
In
- Quartz countertops – Granite countertops have been replaced with more durable, versatile and attractive quartz countertops. Quartz countertops have seen a rise in popularity because of their scratch-resistant, stain-resistant and low-maintenance nature.
Out
- All-white kitchens – Much like granite countertops, white kitchens have dominated interior design for the last decade. While white cabinets are still popular, painted or wood accents and islands are being brought in to soften the look.
In
- Statement Floor – Give your all-white kitchen a facelift in 2018 by choosing a statement floor tile. We’re seeing everything from geometric tile to dark floor stains to give a room more comfort and style.
Out
- Exposed lighting – The Edison Bulb took homes by storm in 2015. But this look came at a cost, with the bulb burning five to ten times more power than its counterparts.
In
- Vintage lighting – Homeowners are trading their exposed lighting for an unforgettable focal point, as lighting is becoming a secondary art form for many homeowners.
Out
- Bar carts – The popularity of bar carts has come and gone. They aren’t being used as frequently as other items in the home and can often appear unfinished.
In
- Coffee carts – Bye bye bar cart, hello coffee cart. Repurpose and restock your bar cart with caffeine and your mornings and home will be improved instantly.
