Sustainability was also reported as an important factor. Homeowners want to feel confident the choices they are making are wise investments.
Therefore, there is a trend towards choosing products manufactured with durability and quality. For example, stone is durable and easy to clean making it a popular choice for kitchen countertops.
Smart Technology: Kitchen Trends for 2023
In kitchen technology, homeowners are getting more and more comfortable with smart controls via mobile devices or voice control.
Kitchen trends for 2023 include a smart home center, Wi-Fi fridge to help you be more efficient, smart appliances where you can preheat your oven remotely, an all-in-one oven with a built-in camera, and more.
Wine Rooms
A wine room continues to be a showpiece of the home designed to be shared with friends and other wine connoisseurs. Modern wine cabinets thoughtfully engineered will ensure your wine is perfectly cared for and displayed nicely even for the most discerning wine enthusiast.
Functional Features: Kitchen Trends for 2023
Designers say they are seeing an increase in features that add to the ease of entertaining at home, such as warming drawers where food is kept at the optimum temperature while you prep and serve elsewhere. Dishwasher drawers and secondary dishwashers are also kitchen trends for 2023.
Built-in/walk-in pantries to store everything out of sight never gets old. Even though there is a trend towards open shelving for practical and easy-to-reach items, pantries remain the go-to place for storage, especially with so many functional ways to organize.
Dedicated drop zones continue to be a kitchen trend for 2023. Why not create a space for everyone to store and charge their phones, laptops, and all their gear? This way you can keep everything in one spot.
Multi-Purpose Space
As the family-friendly hub, kitchen trends include incorporating a desk and/or study area, a reading corner, gaming space, or even a small bar next to your beverage center for happy hour.
Consider using rugs in a kitchen to not only soften the space, but zone it, too. A well-positioned rug beneath a dining table adds coziness for meals and entertaining, while dressing a reading corner makes the area’s intent clear and gives a feeling of warmth.
