The latest trends in kitchen design recognize that your kitchen is not just a room where meals are prepared. The kitchen is the gathering place--the real family room. The walls between the kitchen, dining room and family room are coming down. And that trend is here to stay.
Kitchen cabinetry is experiencing a metamorphosis. It's getting to look more like fine furniture than mere storage space. This doesn't mean you need to rip out the cabinets you already have. Consider painting them instead. Dark, high-gloss stains can show off gorgeous hardware. If you have glass-fronted cabinets, consider painting the shelves and the back of your cabinets a rich or vibrant hue. Choose an accent color for a kitchen island or separate section of cabinets. If you are replacing your cabinets, consider changing it all to eco-friendly materials such as sustainable bamboo or wheat board.
