Six Kitchen Trends for 2019
The new year is here, and with it comes new kitchen trends. Out with the old, and in with the new! In 2018, we saw white kitchens, neutral tones and recessed lighting. New trends are being implemented already. Let’s look at a few exciting kitchen trends for 2019.
Matte Appliances
Matte Appliances have taken over the kitchen scene. Homeowners have opted for the black matte finish over stainless steel appliances. Matte black appliances reduce the visibility of fingerprints and stains. They offer a sleek and modern looking style that is sure to be a big hit in the new year.
Copper Accents
Homeowners have already begun pairing these matte black appliances with copper and metallic accents. Gold and copper accent colors and accessories pop against the sophisticated matte black stoves, refrigerators, microwaves and other appliances. These accents are like jewelry in a kitchen and bring everything together. Copper lighting, dishware and decorations make your kitchen look and feel elegant and classy.New Countertops

Covered Sinks
One trend that is on the rise is covered sinks. Do you wish there was an easy way to quickly and conveniently hide your dishes? Now there is! Homeowners are opting for a minimalistic countertop approach that is free of objects cluttering their kitchen spaces. These covered sinks are actually tiles that slide back and forth to hide your dishes, and sink entirely from view. Simply open the panels to reveal your sink and other compartments. How useful is that?Pendant Lighting
Pendant lighting is dropping its way into kitchens all over the world. Recessed lighting is fading out, and drop lighting is making a big impact. Pendant lighting adds a unique touch and little bit of character to the kitchen. It can take on many forms and comes in many options to help you personalize your own lighting. Drop lighting can make a subtle or bold statement depending on the piece. If you’re looking to add a little more self expression into your home, we recommend taking a look at pendant lighting.
