Home is your happy place and your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s fair to say over time your kitchen can get cluttered and even a little outdated. If you’re looking for some ideas and inspiration on how you can keep your kitchen up to date check out these top 5 kitchen trends of 2022.
1. Gray Tones
You may think gray is a dreary non-exciting color but it’s actually one of the best colors to use in your kitchen. Gray is a color that can match with virtually anything. It definitely will brighten up your space and make it easier to add accent colors throughout the kitchen. Having a neutral base color like gray is perfect for those who like to have a vibrant and colorful space as well as for those who like more calm and simple designs.
2. Mixed Metals
Leave matching metals in 2021. Tiffany Leigh Piotrowski, of Tiffany Leigh Design in Toronto, says you don’t have to limit yourself to just one or two types of metal in the same space. Mixing your silver stainless steel appliances with dark faucets or having black or brass hardware and light fixtures will give your kitchen that new, sleek aesthetic. Remember it’s all about balance when incorporating mixed metals into your kitchen; a little can go a long way.
3. Two Toned
Just like mix match appliances you have mix match cabinets and counters! Are you more comfortable with simplicity and calmness or do you find comfort in being bright and bold? You can definitely get the best of both worlds by mixing and matching cabinets and countertops.You can do dark and light, modern and vintage, black and white, and of course splash in a little color here and there based on your preference.
4. Marble
Marble is a trend that evolved tremendously over the years. From marble countertops to marble floors, walls, columns and furniture, the list goes on. One thing about marble is that it can go along pretty much any accent color. Marble is durable, easy to keep clean and is very pleasing to the eye.
5. New Age Appliances
We can definitely see how technology has made its way to the kitchen. You can now have electric stainless steel appliances, knobless/touch screen appliances, refrigerators with bluetooth and much more. 2022 is the year of efficiency.
