Magnolia Farms and European kitchens are in, stained oak and granite is out. Thank God.

Now only if wall to wall carpet would go extinct.

White appliances will never go out of style.
The only thing that bugs me about the picture in the first post is that nasty textured finish on the refrigerator.
Such a crud magnet! Everything else is okay.
I don’t know why a kitchen, which is an intensive workroom, has to be “on trend” anyway.

Because for many people, a kitchen's not just a workroom anymore - it's become an entertainment space or a living space.

What really stands out is the terrible layout of that kitchen for anyone who uses a kitchen to turn out food.

No.

1. Quartz is the "in" material now for countertops.
2. Drawers in the lower cabinets, not cupboards.
3. White cabinets are all the rage.
4. Stainless appliance still popular, but manufacturers are trying hard to popularize other colors such as slate.
5. LED lighting has changed everything.
How does LED lighting affect styling?

Drawers in the lower cabinets are great.

I had a guy make mine and I showed him what pot or saucepan I wanted to fit where. What small appliance etc. Has worked out great.

I miss sheetmetal cabinets and sinks with built in dish drainers.
You could slap a lot of magnets on those babies.

The countertops you pictured are not granite at all. Granite is a solid stone surface; laminate is a manufactured POS. Solid stone surfaces will always be in style, but the actual pattern and color may not. Laminate, I don't believe, was ever in style. It was just a low-grade builder's way to save money on countertops.


Corian countertops, the rage in the 90s, is definitely dated now.

Thanks. Good post.

Can you explain #2 ?

I thought white cabinets are totally outdated even 20 years ago!

I can't believe a 20 year old stainless is not outdated yet!
