We constantly monitor trends in the industry of baths and kitchens to ensure that the kitchens of our customers and baths are capable of being able to stand the years of use. Here are the most popular mid-year trends in our area.
Mixed Colors
The homeowners who recently updated their kitchen renovation in Ottawa have made bold designs by opting for an array of shades, textures, and finishes. While white kitchens are still popular with some, it’s far less sought-after than it was in the past. Our clients have recently had cabinets that get painted in vibrant colors.
Island Fever
There’s a reason that kitchen islands are very well-liked and are now the focal point of many kitchens we create. Since their inception, islands have stood up to the tests of time. They are the primary reason for making open-plan designs viable. Islands are typically the main focal point in the kitchen of the future. Employing contrast colors and distinctive countertop materials allows homeowners living in the Ottawa area to add their personal touch to their kitchen.
Open Shelving
The demand for more contemporary space transforms the kitchen design, with many customers opting for open shelves. The shelves replace the bulk of the upper wall cabinets for sleek lines and a sleek appearance.
Suppose our clients choose open shelves as an alternative to the upper wall cabinets or prefer more sleek designs. In that case, we typically suggest using organizational accessories to keep countertops clear of clutter. That offers designated areas for small appliances, plates, glasses, cutlery, glassware, knives, and kitchen accessories. Commonly, these storage accessories include spice racks, pull-out drawers, and other storage tools.
Color My Sink World
The times of picking between white or stainless steel kitchen sinks are over. Sinks are becoming increasingly focal points, with materials that can get used to creating various. Sinks made of composite resistant to scratching and heat damage are available in multiple sizes, colors, and shapes that meet nearly any style or design element.
Gold Rush
Consumers continue to get drawn to metallic finishes. Gold faucets, instant hots, pot fillers, and other plumbing fixtures are widespread. Rose gold, bright gold, black gold, polished gold, and rose-colored bronzes are among the most recent additions.
Two Is Better Than One
Since the kitchen is the primary room in the home and has different functions as a homeowner, we’ve observed an increase in demand for more kitchens. The kitchen gets used for gathering, dining, entertainment and homework space, etc. A second kitchen is the main area for kitchen appliances, meal preparation, cooking, and cleaning.
The Right Light
Most homeowners use pendants above islands up a few levels by deciding to have a set of mini-pendants rather than the chandelier or an array of charms of various sizes.
