Top Kitchen Design Trends of 2023

2023 is my year of the kitchen, with many requests for remodels to bring the room into the new era! There are many exciting new trends emerging in kitchen design, many of which I was an able to see this year at KBIS. From bold colors to unique textures, there is something for everyone in the kitchen design world this year. So, let's dive in and explore the top trends in kitchen design for this year.

  1. Bold Colors~ Gone are the days of an all-white kitchen. In 2023, we are seeing a dramatic shift towards bold, statement-making stand out colors. Think dark blues, rich greens, and deep reds. These colors add soul and depth to the kitchen, creating a warm and inviting space for family and friends together.

  2. Mixed Metals~ Metallic accents are nothing new in kitchen design, but in 2023, we are seeing a trend towards mixing metal finishes. Combining polished brass, polished nickel, and matte black finishes can create a visually stunning space that is both modern and timeless.

  3. Texture Texture Texture!~ It is a great way to add visual interest to any space, especially a kitchen. From wood grain cabinets to leather textured countertops, textured surfaces create a natural and organic feel in the space.

  4. Bold Backsplashes~Another trend we're seeing in 2023 is the use of eye-catching backsplashes. From intricate patterns to colorful tiles, a bold backsplash can add personality and character to any kitchen.

  5. Statement Lighting~ Lighting is an essential element in any kitchen design, but this year, we're seeing a trend towards statement lighting. For me, lighting is like jewelry— From large pendant lights to chandeliers, these eye-catching fixtures can transform a kitchen into a show-stopping space.

  6. Smart Appliance~ In 2023, expect to see more smart appliances that can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet. From ovens that can be preheated remotely to refrigerators that can extend the life of your fruit and veg, these appliances will make cooking and meal planning more convenient than ever.

  7. Hidden Appliances~ Minimalism has been popular trend in kitchen design, and in 2023, we're seeing a shift towards hidden appliances. In the past it was just the fridge or maybe the dishwasher. Concealing appliances behind cabinet doors creates a seamless and clean look in the kitchen.

  8. Integrated Sinks~These are a popular choice for modern kitchens. These sinks blend seamlessly with the countertop, creating a sleek and streamlined look

  9. Sustainable Materials: Eco-friendly and sustainable materials such as bamboo, cork, and recycled glass will be popular choices for countertops, flooring, and cabinets. These materials are not only environmentally responsible but also add a unique and natural texture to any kitchen.

  10. Large Islands: The kitchen island will continue to be a central feature in 2023 kitchen design. These large islands provide additional storage, workspace, and seating, making them a functional and stylish addition to any kitchen.

These trends offer a myriad of possibilities for creating a beautiful and functional kitchen that reflects your personal style and meets your needs. At Ashleigh Underwood Design, we look forward to helping you bring your dream kitchen to life.
