Kitchens to Love: Top Kitchen Trends for 2023

Designing a kitchen in your new custom home? From layout to appliances, we’re bringing you the top kitchen trends for your inspiration. 

Doubling Up

Have a large family or plan on hosting often? Consider doubling up on appliances and features like sinks and ovens. A second bowl sink is perfect for when lots of family members are in the kitchen. Double ovens are a good choice if your home is the go-to spot for holiday gatherings and meals. You can even double up on islands, one for cooking and meal prep and one for work, dining and family activities. 

Concealed Storage and Appliances

One of the top kitchen trends on the rise is concealed storage and clever solutions to keep your space organized. From pots and pans to baking sheets and spices, everything has a place inside today’s cabinets. Look for pull-out shelves, special spice storage and divided drawers. Walk-in and built-in pantries are also another popular choice, especially for new custom home owners. 

Natural Light

Expansive windows in your kitchen will bring the morning sun into your home and help your circadian rhythm. They help bring cheer in the colder months and are perfect for letting a little fresh air into your home in warmer weather. With so much of our working and entertaining time spent in the kitchen, it makes sense to flood this area of the home with natural light whenever possible.  

Mixing Materials

Say goodbye to matchy-matchy: Mixing the materials you use in your kitchen gives it some character. Mixing wood and stone materials and using two-tone wood are good examples of material mixing that’s on trend this year. Other materials you can experiment with are ceramics, metal and brick. Want to just dip your toes into this trend? Try mixing materials on your cabinetry hardware. The more contrast, the more appealing. 

Fresh Color

Adding some color to your kitchen whether it’s with paint, decor or cabinetry will liven up your space. A fresh splash of color can complete the feel of the kitchen and energize the space. Take your inspiration from Pantone’s lively color of the year, magenta, or go for more subtle hues: Whatever makes you happy.
