5 Popular Remodel Trends That Took Off This Year
With a global pandemic keeping most Americans at home this year, kitchen remodeling has become a major focus for homeowners with new design trends emerging in 2020. For those sheltering in place, there couldn't be a better time to start a DIY home improvement project or revamp your living space.
Remodeling your kitchen is a great way to not only make your home more comfortable but increase its overall value as well. You'll notice many of this year's design trends reflected in these Augusta homes for sale. If you are looking to remodel your kitchen before putting your home on the market, consider these 5 trends that continued to gain popularity this year:
- Darker Colors
Traditional white kitchens were in style for decades, but not in 2020. White kitchens are finally declining in popularity as trendy dark accents are all the rage this year. Blue, green, black, navy, or gray cabinets with darker wood stained kitchen islands can give your kitchen a classy, upscale, and open feel. Just don't overdo it, as too many dark colors can really overpower the room. - Smart Kitchens
Technology has been making its way into kitchens for the last 5 years, but the smart kitchen trend has really taken off in 2020. Replacing outdated appliances with smart technology can give your kitchen a modern look and also make your life more convenient at the same time. Wifi connected refrigerators, motion sensor kitchen faucets, voice-activated microwaves, or environmentally-friendly dishwashers - the options for smart appliance upgrades are truly endless this year. - Creative Storage Options
As minimalism continues to have a strong influence on interior design, doing more with less is the focus of many recent kitchen trends especially when it comes to storage. Kitchen cabinets take up a lot of room, so finding stylish, smaller storage solutions is key. Floating shelves, portable drawers, and pot racks are just a few examples of trendy, inexpensive, and effective storage strategies that are a must for any minimalist kitchen style. - Quartz Countertops
Looking for stylish countertops that are durable, easy to clean, and last forever? Quartz has overtaken granite as the material of choice for countertops and kitchen islands this year. Not only is quartz more durable, it doesn't need as much maintenance (resealing). Because it's non-porous, it's much less likely to stain or become a breeding ground for bacteria. It's also available in a wide variety of patterns and colors making it easy to match your counters to any kitchen design. - Decorative Backsplashes
Colorful or patterned backslashes are an excellent way to add some character to your kitchen. While many homeowners are shying away from traditional subway tiles, large patterned slabs made of marble, copper, quartz, or glass are definitely a popular trend this year. There are unlimited design choices, so just be sure to pick something that matches the rest of your kitchen.
