Lasting Trends for Scottsdale Kitchen Remodeling

With kitchen makeovers or any type of home renovation, there are always popular trends that seem to be all the rage at the moment. Being too quick to jump on the latest trendy bandwagon can backfire, though, leaving you with a space that quickly becomes outdated and out of style. Worse, you may realize too late that you picked a style purely based on trends, without fully thinking about whether it actually matches your lifestyle or tastes.

Fads come and go, and tend to be short-lived. However, there are some kitchen remodeling or design trends that seem to have staying power, as they continue to have strong popularity going into 2015.

Convenience and functionality are top priorities for many homeowners these days, so elements that eliminate stress and frustration while making things more efficient are extremely popular choices. Features that can do multiple tasks can help the residents save time and space. Unlike design elements, these practical elements are unlikely to go out of style.

With green living such a prevalent movement now, energy efficient features are also increasingly popular. These can also have a financial benefit, as they can allow the property owner to realize considerable savings on utility bills.  Devices that reduce water or energy usage, or that encourage recycling or use repurposed materials, are high on the list of homeowner requests.

From a style and design standpoint, clean and simple is an approach that many people are choosing right now, to keep things looking modern and uncluttered. Colors such as white and grey also support this look, along with clean lines on cabinetry and appliances. Many families are embracing open layouts, often combining the kitchen with a living room or other space to allow for entertaining or greater interaction with guests and family.

Not surprisingly, high-tech tools and features are also cropping up in many new kitchen designs. Charging stations and electronic work centers help accommodate gadgets while also allowing people to incorporate their favorite tech elements into the kitchen’s function and routine.

The best approach to creating the perfect kitchen design for your household is to think about your routine and what functional elements are most important, and then deciding how you might be able to incorporate style and design touches to create the perfect blend of form and function.
