Colorful backsplashes might add life to kitchens. Courtney Wollersheim, interior designer at FLOOR360, said she expects to see backsplashes in colors like deep green or terracotta as more homeowners look for new ways to complement neutral walls and cabinets. A colorful backsplash may seem risky, but a skilled tile installer can change it if your tastes change over time.
One designer said mixtures of modern and antique decor will stay trendy. Wollersheim said she's also seeing more homeowners eager to personalize their kitchens by combining different decor styles for a custom look. One example is mixing modern finishes with antique finds, such as treasures from flea markets or inherited items. "Mixing old and new adds character and warmth while providing an opportunity for creative self-expression," she said.
Sarah Pickard, founder of Pickard Design Studio, predicts more people will get rid of open kitchens and divide their space to create a secondary area, like a butler's pantry, that "can be used for prep or a place to store dirty dishes." She told us this trend is returning as some millennials seek designs similar to the homes they grew up in and entertain guests in groups. "It is more affordable to host and eat at home, and people want their spaces and kitchen to be received as luxurious and clean," Pickard said.
Deana Duffek, CEO and principal designer at Duffek Design, suggests more nature-inspired looks could find their way into the kitchen. This trend emphasizes using sustainable materials and biophilic design elements that create a connection to the outdoors, incorporating wood textures and greens to invoke a serene environment.
