Whether you are looking to design your dream kitchen, freshen up your current décor, or you think your kitchen needs an update before going on the market, it is important to keep up on current trends. If you are looking for ideas for your next kitchen remodel, here’s our list of the kitchen trends coming in 2023.
Backsplashes
Marble, wallpaper, and bold colors for backsplashes are in the cards for 2023. Marble is easy to clean, but all these options can add depth and make a statement. Colorful patterned wallpaper behind open shelves can incorporate some color and bring new life to your kitchen.
Cabinets
If your cabinets need modernizing, wood and furniture-style are trends to consider. Varnished and stained cabinets are fading out, and natural wood and painted cabinets are in. Another interesting trend is the furniture leg look. Rather than a plain toe kick area, consider adding the look of table legs to the bottom of your cabinets. If you have room for an island, consider using a farmhouse table to keep the furniture feeling going throughout the kitchen.

Islands
By far, the biggest trend of 2023 is islands. Painted, butcher block, or natural stone. Painting your island base is an inexpensive way to brighten up your kitchen. A butcher block island in a dark wood such as walnut can add some warmth. A marble island can add beauty and elegance but is also sustainable and long-lasting.
Lighting and Outlets
Recessed lighting is still popular, but feel free to be bold with lighting fixtures. You can use lighting to showcase specific elements of your kitchen, or it can become a conversation piece. Another way to update your kitchen is to move your outlets. Reduce clutter by installing outlets into the countertops where you will use your appliances.
