Cooking Up The Tastiest Kitchen Decor Trends For 2019

Regardless of whether you’re a frequent foodie or a home cooking enthusiast, the kitchen is often the hub of activity in any household. The proximity to snacks and drinks undoubtedly contributes to this phenomenon. Additionally, its informal atmosphere lends itself to deep, meaningful conversations – making it a space where work and relaxation seamlessly blend. As we head into 2019, it’s time to make your kitchen functional yet exciting.

Get ready for the latest trends and place kitchen decor at the top of your priority list!

‘Maximalism’

As we bid adieu to the era of Scandinavian simplicity, the kitchen is poised for a dramatic transformation. Gone are the days of understated hues and sparse decor; instead, maximalism is taking center stage. According to design expert Gabrielle Savoie, this new wave will bring an abundance of glass-paneled shelving, carefully curated bookcases, and kitchens filled with personal treasures like vintage rugs, artwork, stoneware pottery, and other unique finds.

In the kitchen, a vintage rug takes on a dual role, offering both practicality and style. Its vibrant design expertly conceals crumbs, while its textured surface provides warmth and a pleasant sensation underfoot. Moreover, it defines the space, adding a touch of elegance that complements the surrounding environment. Don’t be afraid to go big – this is the year to let your personal style shine.

Storage Walls

Taking a cue from stylish design, why not start from the floor and go all the way to the ceiling? In today’s smaller apartments, clever storage solutions become increasingly crucial. Storage walls align with the trend for wall paneling, offering an elegant finish that complements dark wood tones and their shiny finishes. With this approach, we can achieve a cohesive look that extends the stylish atmosphere throughout the space.

According to interior designer Savoie, modern kitchens are set to feature one wall of lower cabinets and countertops, accompanied by a larger island and floor-to-ceiling storage in the remaining areas. This design philosophy has already begun to heat up our kitchen, and we’re excited to see where this trend takes us.

Statement Backsplash

In recent years, the trend of incorporating Moroccan tiles into home decor has gained significant momentum, and it’s not hard to see why. The humble backsplash – often overlooked but always functional – is an area ripe for creative expression. Not only does it serve a practical purpose, but it also offers a blank canvas for artistic flair. Imagine combining rich marble hues with geometric patterns or adding a touch of oriental charm through carefully chosen tiles.

Even the addition of copper accents or mirrored surfaces can elevate this often-underutilized space into a stunning focal point.

Timeless Materials

When it comes to reorganizing a kitchen, making lasting decisions about decor can be daunting. Unlike other rooms where trends may change frequently, kitchen decor should stand the test of time. This is closely tied to the quality of materials used, which has become increasingly important as environmental awareness grows. With this in mind, it’s essential to prioritize timeless finishes that will remain stylish for decades to come and won’t quickly go out of fashion.

In our opinion, wood, marble, granite, brass, and copper are some of the most reliable options for achieving a kitchen that is both beautiful and sustainable.

Shiny Metallics

When it comes to designing the ultimate timeless space with Serena & Lily’s GRT Architects, don’t be afraid to get creative! A sink that exudes luster and gold can be a game-changer. You have two options: go for a classy patina effect or opt for full-on glamour. Whatever you choose, make sure it harmonizes with the rest of your decor. For storage walls, consider adding some panache with hammered finishes.

Metallics in bright shades, warm tones, and intricate details are guaranteed to create a cozy atmosphere. This is the perfect opportunity to think outside the box – or rather, call on a blacksmith to bring your unique vision to life!
