2017 Kitchen Trends That Will Stand the Test of Time

1. Flexible Palette

A neutral palette allows a lot of flexibility. Choose neutral colors for cabinets, countertops and appliances and then add accessories, linens and curtains in any color scheme you choose. For the cabinets, you can never go wrong with white or off-white. White cabinets have been the most popular cabinet color for years, and will keep their appeal for years to come. However, gray is quickly becoming the new neutral of choice. As long as they are kept in line with other elements of classic design, gray cabinets will maintain their appeal.

2. Classic Black and White Palette

A black and white kitchen is a classic appeal that never goes out of style. This color palette is the perfect place to add granite, marble or quartz countertops. As a natural product, granite can come in varying shades of black, white, or patterns of the two. Marble might be expensive, but a white marble with subtle black and grey veining countertop may well be the quintessential classic countertop. Quartz, an engineered product, has been gaining in popularity over the last few years. It is more durable than granite or marble, doesn't require maintenance, and looks great.

3. Timeless Farmhouse Flair

With an old-world or farmhouse look, apron-front sinks add a sense of timelessness to your kitchen. Deep and wide, apron-front sinks provide the room you need for all your cooking and cleanup needs, and that type of functionality will never go out of style. Apron-front sinks come in a variety of colors and styles to suit your style.
