The kitchen design develops quickly and adhering to outdated trends can lead to your space feels tired. Here you will find a list of kitchen styles and functions that are no longer considered current.
All white kitchens
Once considered clean and modern, purely white kitchens now appear sterile and maintenance. Switch to warmer white such as ivory or a light beige or add texture with wood and earthed cupboards.
Granite plates
Granite was overlooked in the 2000s. It is replaced by marble, soapstone, quartzit and quartz. For more variety, you should mix materials such as wood, terrazzo or copper.
Traditional style cupboards
Decorated cabinet doors with shaped towers and elevated panels feel heavy and outdated. The cupboards in the flat field and the Shaker style offer a cleaner, more modern look.
U -Bahn tile everywhere
U -Bahn tiles are exaggerated. Designers turn to cell, terrazzo and handmade tiles with natural texture for backplashes.
Small window
Small sink windows are replaced by larger ones to maximize the natural light and visual openness.
Open shelves
Once trendy, open shelves now feel impractical due to dust and disorder. Decide for closed cupboards or use small accentrums sparingly.
Matt black hardware
Matt black is missing warmth and can wear badly. Mixed metals – such as brass with polished nickel – take more visual interest and durability.
Too much gray
Monochrome gray kitchens feel cold. If you like gray, choose warm gray shades and mix with earthy tones and warm metals.
Standard lights
Generic devices do not improve the design. Use instructions or smart lighting to personalize the room and improve functionality.
Ultra-modern kitchen designs
Highly glossy cupboards, sharp lines and cool tones are replaced by warmer, organic materials such as natural stone, wood and soft shapes.
Free doors and cupboards without handle
Push-to-open cabinets lose popularity due to functional problems. Designers again include visible hardware for both aesthetics and ease.
Decorative ventilation hoods
Bulky, decorative hoods dominate the room. Minimal or built -in hoods are now better mixing with modern design.
Farmhouse kitchen styling and decor
Recovered wood, vintage-inspired decor and graphic signs were popular farmhouse kitchen decorative elements in the early 2000s. This design trend took far beyond its expiry date. The current kitchen trend is to create authentic and comfortable kitchens.
Highly decorative backplashes
In addition to the cupboards, backplashes can go out faster with a kitchen than almost every element. The selection of a decorative backplash therefore means to commit to a very specific style. Although there are still many beautiful kitchens with statement backplashes, you can age faster than age than more reserved options.
Knotty Pine and Orange oak cupboards
These wooden tones immediately date kitchens. Use neutral or natural tones such as white oak, walnut or ash.
Falled blankets and fluorescent lighting
Drop ceilings and old fluorescence pipes make kitchen look weak and outdated. Upgrade to integrated LED lighting with dimmer.
Visible microwaves
Microwaves above the stove are replaced by microwave drawers or built -in designs for the cleaner aesthetics.
Tile or laminate worktops
Visible joint lines and plastic surfaces feel outdated. Fixed surfaces such as quartz or natural stone are more contemporary and easier to maintain.
Deliberately desperate cupboards
Faux alters and worn surfaces no longer feel authentic. Go smooth, clean surfaces in natural colors.
High barstools and 42 -inch worktops
High meters reduce visibility and comfort. Standard 36 -inch heights with meter schools are more functional and accessible.
