Kitchen design and trends, like fashion styles, can change frequently. The popular apricot wooden cabinets and speckled countertops popular in the 1980s are outdated and old looking compared to the modern, shiny cabinets and quartz countertops that are popular in current kitchens today.
Though kitchen styles and colours often change as time goes on, there are certain kitchen styles that kitchen designers use again and again.
Let’s look at the top 3 most popular kitchen designs.
Country Kitchen
A country kitchen has traditionally been the centre of the home with a central island and timber cabinets and a large sink and oven. Warm colours such as red, yellow and orange enhance the timber design giving a country feel. Appliances tend to be large and traditional with a large country range hood above the stovetop. Floors will usually be timber floorboards however, tiles or a parquetry floor would both look wonderful.
Modern Kitchen
Modern kitchens are often defined by a shiny, smooth and angular design. Simple in design with minimal extras, flush cabinet doors and flat surfaces. Modern kitchen colours are white, blue, and black with a touch of a contrasting colour to give a wow factor.
Appliances can often be stainless steel, walls white or pale grey tones, modern kitchens are simple to maintain and are a bold statement to any house.

Quite often a traditional kitchen will have a lot of cupboard space and versatility it will have a well lived in feel and can be changed with different appliances and colours.
