COLORFUL KITCHENS

All white Kitchens aren't completely out. There still is some white, such as white upper cabinets and blue lower cabinets. More color will make its way into the kitchen, well... maybe a lot of color.

Places to incorporate color in the kitchen would be the backsplash, countertops, or even appliances. One color that continues to be seen is navy, other colors of nature are also popular as well.

COUNTERTOPS

Countertops will follow the trend of earth tones and natural materials. A play off of nature is marble, this stone is also going to continue to be popular. Another stone that is of note is quartz, it's predicted to replace granite which is greatly appreciated by the budget decorators.

SLAB BACKSPLASHES

A lot of homeowners are turning to slab backsplashes instead of subway tiles. Slab Backsplashes are taken from the material of the countertops They run up the wall into a backsplash.

Another notable thing here is sometimes wallpaper will be is used instead of backsplashes. Backsplashes serves as the decor focal in the kitchen. It defines the style of your work area, while giving your kitchen a personality.
