2016 Trends for 2017

2016 seems to be a year of changes for kitchen looks. Details like carriage pendant lights, oil-rubbed bronze faucets, and shabby painted cabinets have almost completely disappeared. Now a modern, industrial, and artistic style  is emerging.

Here are some details from the last few years I think will stay:

big scale lighting

open shelves

industrial seating and lighting

two tone cabinets

kilims

subway tile

Most consumers are getting used to these trends:

gold and brass

white walls

dark cabinets

lots of marble

But these are some new trends I think will take off in 2017:

slab (not Shaker) cabinets:

unique handles knobs and pulls

wood details in new places

soffits
