The new year comes with a desire to refresh yourself and your home. After consulting with our expert remodeling team, here are a few kitchen remodeling trends you can expect to see in 2017.
While there's nothing wrong with a monochromatic kitchen, using multiple cabinet colors or styles in the same room adds personality to your home.
Because picking cabinetry can be a difficult decision, it's helpful to get professional advice. Our designers know what combinations look best together and can help you get the perfect custom kitchen.

Would you like your kitchen to look bigger and brighter plus increase storage space? Ditch shorter cabinets and install taller ones. Consequently, installing kitchen cabinetry all the way to the ceiling is both functionally and visually beneficial.
Traditional Kitchen with Pantry (K-83)
While metallics were big in 2016, next year matte finishes will be more in demand. Matte finishes go with every texture and color and don't clash with the rest of your decor.
Many people are skipping standout features such as shiny stainless steel and overhead range hoods for hidden appliances that easily blend in with their home's overall design scheme.
If you love a built-in look, there are refrigerators so shallow they line up perfectly with lower cabinets. Unique articulating hinges allow them to fully open. Integrated models can also be paneled to match surrounding cabinetry.

Also, instead of using a large range hood, modern kitchens can remain visually open with a downdraft ventilation system. Once you're ready to cook, it pops up to ventilate the space.
Shaker Style Kitchen Remodel (K-86)
More people are choosing to keep their formal dining rooms instead of converting them into offices or media rooms. For ease of entertaining, it's important to locate the dining space near the kitchen.
Greenery is a yellow-green shade that's symbolic of new beginnings. You can incorporate this vibrant shade into your decor in big or small ways.
