Stone Countertops

5 Modern Kitchen Remodel Trends That Work in 2020Add more pizzazz to your kitchen with a light or dark stone countertop. If you want something that’s almost maintenance-free, choose light-colored quartz, which is very popular today. Marble looks exquisite, but it is porous, so it absorbs oil and moisture unless it is sealed.

Granite is stronger than marble, but it is still prone to scratches and stains. Like marble, granite needs regular sealing. Whichever stone you choose, the trend today is to either have a honed (non-shiny) surface, or one with a leathered finish, which has a soft sheen.

Open Shelves and Hardwood Cabinets

If you want to make your kitchen look more spacious, open shelving is a good option. If you are replacing the cabinets, you can mix and match your shelves with white hardwood or cherry cabinetry. Use light-colored shelves to highlight the color of the wall or choose a paint color that will make the open shelves look impressive.

Not interested in replacing your kitchen cabinets? Add the open shelves in the corners or between kitchen windows. Use them to display prized teacups, cookbooks, or beautiful pottery. Add more drama to your kitchen by installing lights under your cabinets.

New Flooring

Thick hardwood flooring remains the most popular material for high-foot traffic areas like the kitchen.  Hardwood is efficient in handling the effects of temperature changes and humidity. Another good option is to use engineered wood flooring. You may try trendy colors such as honey or blonde.

Engineered vinyl tiles are also a great option too! You get the look and feel of real wood, but they are more durable and easy to clean.

Smart Appliances

If you are ready to declutter some of your kitchen appliances, replace them with trendy smart devices, which can be controllable through your smartphone. Get alerts when it’s time to buy food from a smart refrigerator or set your coffeemaker to make coffee at a specific time.

Buy an energy-efficient induction cooktop and convection oven, combination mini dishwasher, and sink, or a self-drying dishwasher. In general, the 2020 trends include kitchen appliances in bright colors and stainless steel.
