First check out the article in a blog post recently sourced on NewDecorTrends. As we head into a new year, 2022, all leading economic indicators indicate a rise. It will be a better year than most because Covid for the most part is in the rear-view-mirror. Sure, there is some uptick in new cases but think how far we have come from last year. Get in now with your renovation project.

Three themes you may consider for kitchen design styles in 2022 include Minimalism, Ecostyle, and High-Tech.

Minimalism

If you take this path, you will reject all necessary detail in favor of functionality. Younger generations, i.e., GenY/Millennials, GenXers, and Young Boomers are gravitating to this style and are clearing space for unnecessary items.

Quoting NewDecorTrends — “The demand for ecological natural materials is still high with this Kitchen Design Style. This is especially true for kitchen countertops. A beautiful and unique texture can radically transform the look of the entire headset. Therefore, the most striking representatives of nature are wood and marble.”

Marble finishes in modern kitchens will always find their use, even if the design is very simple or discreet. The unique texture of marble, created by nature, has a unique aesthetics, so this material can also be used as a floor covering and in the creation of a monolithic “island” or apron.

Ecostyle

You draw your inspiration from nature and wish to minimize the impact on the environment. Eco-style Kitchen Design Styles continue to be popular. Check out this article from the Blog Eartheasy on Green Countertop Choices for Your Kitchen. Consider Quartz. Long-lasting and low maintenance, naturally hard quartz is combined with resin to create a nonporous surface.

High Tech

Defining the High-Tech kitchen or for that matter, any room where one seeks out the conveniences of day-to-day living is trendy. Moving forward in 2022 the popularity in the use of technologies designed with clear geometric proportions is an appeal for all generations. Today, this style is increasingly finding its use in the Kitchen Design Styles of the kitchen space.

The theme is succinct and ultramodern and features decorative stone on countertops, backsplashes (and walls), and modern, high-tech lighting and appliances.
