5 Timeless Kitchen Trends That Will Never Go Out of Style

debbie • May 16, 2022

The kitchen has always been a focal point of the home. It's where we cook, eat, and socialize, so it's no wonder that a lot of effort has been put into the way kitchens look. As the owner of The Remodeling Expo in Roswell, I’ve seen many ideas become popular over the years and have even brought them to life in my client’s kitchens. 


Starting in the 1960s, people began using wooden cabinets instead of metal and this trend can still be seen in nearly every modern kitchen. Just like with the wooden cabinets, I and the team have uncovered many great design choices that are used in kitchens today and don’t look like they’ll go away anytime soon. Before hiring us for your next kitchen makeover, consider trying some of these timeless design trends which will add a wow factor to your kitchen:


Powerful Backsplashes

A powerful backsplash can really make a statement in any kitchen, and there are many different materials and styles to choose from. A backsplash can be made of tile, stone, metal, or glass. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. If you're looking for a backsplash that will make a bold statement, then consider using a material like a tile or stone. If you want something that's a little more subtle, then metal or glass may be a better choice. Choosing the perfect backsplash can take your kitchen to the next level.


Powerful Backsplashes

Choosing Kitchen Backsplashes

When it comes to kitchen backsplashes, there are a few things you should know before you start shopping. First, you need to decide what material you want your backsplash to be made from. You need to consider factors such as cost, maintenance, and appearance. Once you've decided on a material, you should then pick a style. Do you want a mosaic backsplash or something more simple? There are endless possibilities when it comes to kitchen backsplashes, so take your time and find something that you love.


The Best Materials for Kitchen Backsplashes

When it comes to choosing a material for your kitchen backsplash, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you need to decide if you want a natural or man-made material. Natural materials like stone and tile are beautiful, but they can be more expensive and difficult to install. Man-made materials like glass and metal are more affordable and easier to install, but they may not have the same visual appeal as natural materials.


Exposed Shelving

Exposed Shelving in Kitchen

We all know that kitchens are the heart of the home, but many people don't realize that the kitchen is also a great place to show off your personality and style. One way to do this is by using exposed shelving. There are many different ways to use exposed shelving to your advantage and do it in a decorative manner. Here are a few of our favorite ideas:


Display Your Favorite Dishes or Cookbooks

One popular way to use exposed shelving is to showcase your favorite dishes or cookbooks while freeing up valuable counter space. Exposed shelving can transform the clutter of stacked books into a cute wall of recipes that shows off your personality and adds a homey touch.


Add Contrast to a Plain Wall or Unused Corner

From my experience in home remodeling, sometimes the simplest solution is the best. That’s certainly the case when it comes to adding a touch of style to a plain wall or unused corner. Exposed shelves are an easy and effective way to add both contrast and functionality to any space. Whether you opt for traditional wood or contemporary metal, a few well-placed shelves can make a big impact. And because they’re so versatile, exposed shelves can really be used in just about any room. 


Fill Unused Space With Extra Storage

Exposed shelving units are designed to fit into tight spaces, and they provide an ideal spot for storing items that are not used on a daily basis. By filling unused space with an exposed shelving unit, you can free up valuable closet and cabinet space while still keeping your belongings within easy reach. Good shelves are much more attractive than wire racks.


Decorative Vent Hoods

Decorative Vent Hoods

One kitchen trend that has become increasingly popular is the use of decorative vent hoods. A vent hood is a great way to add some visual interest to your kitchen, and there are many different designs to choose from. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes, so there’s bound to be a choice that matches your kitchen décor.


The Benefits of Vent Hoods

If you weren’t sure what vent hoods are, they are metal devices containing a fan that hangs above your stovetop. There are many benefits to having one in your kitchen. Vent hoods can help to reduce cooking odors, they can protect your kitchen from smoke and grease, and they can even help to keep your kitchen cooler in the summer months. While having a functional purpose, decorative vent hoods have become a popular choice to convey a certain style in kitchens through their finish and shape. 



Kitchen Seating

Today, seating isn’t just for sitting. With so many styles, colors, and patterns to choose from, it’s a stylistic choice. Though traditional seating is in the dining room, more people are choosing to have some in the kitchen area whether it’s at the island or in its own little nook. There are lots of different types of seating available on the market today, so take some time searching for something that will work great in your kitchen and contribute to the theme.


Kitchen Seating

Bar Stools

One easy way to add seating to your kitchen is with barstools. They’re perfect for lining up around the island or the countertop. Plus, these stools are easy to move. There are plenty of bar stool types available for purchase and each is a decoration in itself. 


Banquette Seating

Banquette seating is another popular option for kitchen seating today. Banquettes are essentially built-in benches that can be used for both dining and sitting. They're a great way to add extra seating to your kitchen in a compact way, and they offer a variety of styles to suit any taste.




Two-Tone Cabinets

Two-Tone Cabinets

A cabinet with different color finishes on the doors or draws is called a two-tone cabinet. This trend has been around for decades and it's still going strong today - in fact, many people think it's one of the best ways to make your kitchen stand out from others without spending too much money! You can easily pick up on this trend with just a little paint and good taste for what colors go together.


Choosing Colors in a Two-Tone Cabinet

When it comes to choosing colors for your two-tone cabinets, there are no hard and fast rules. However, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help you create a cohesive look. Consider the overall style of your kitchen. Think about what kind of mood you want to create in your kitchen. Do you want it to be light and airy? Or dark and cozy? Once you've decided on the overall style and mood of your kitchen, you can start to narrow down your color choices.
