After months of hiding inside, more homeowners have realized that kitchens should be the heart of the home and reflect their personalities. The idea is to create a warm and welcoming area that suits each unique family's needs for cooking, entertaining, and everyday living. The current color palette for kitchens is shades found outdoors, and natural elements are everywhere in the showroom kitchens of top interior designers this season. It's time to embrace the nature-inspired colors and sustainable materials seen in the beautiful new style trends for kitchens in the fall of 2022.
Gorgeous tile backsplashes are making a triumphant comeback this year, and more designers are choosing metropolitan-inspired tiles in rectangular shapes. You'll also notice glossy earthenware tiles in natural colors, such as rich forest green. In addition to their attractiveness, these tile backsplashes are easy to clean.
White and bright kitchens and dining spaces are still popular, but designers are using hints of luxurious fabrics, textures, and finish options to give the area a softer and more welcoming vibe. Stainless steel appliances are still popular, but many designers are opting for shiny black appliances instead. Some are even adding vintage-inspired appliances or appliances with artsy, unusual silhouettes to keep the room refreshed and spot-on stylish.
The upcoming kitchen styles include mixing and matching different textures, color combinations, and designs. The mix-and-match technique allows homeowners to create one-of-a-kind kitchens rather than simply copying designer showroom models. Metal finishes are popular again, but they aren't just for industrial spaces. These metallic materials complement mid-century modern, Scandinavian, or country-styled spaces as well.
Natural and designer lighting abound in kitchens this season. Installing larger windows is the preferred method to capture the natural sunlight that brightens kitchens and gives them a more spacious feel. Layering under-cabinet lighting with an eclectic pendant or an artsy, bubble-bulb chandelier fixture gives today's kitchens a futuristic yet warm touch.
Planet-friendly kitchens are a priority for homeowners in fall 2022. Some homeowners are purchasing used showroom materials to contribute to their earth-friendly kitchens. Others are partnering with designers who use less plastic and more sustainable materials in their projects.
