A kitchen remodel can be a large investment. Anyone who has taken on a remodeling project knows that costs can add up quickly. That is why you want to make the right choices so that what you choose to do now will look fresh for years to come. Whether you are remodeling your kitchen to sell or making personal choices to update your space, it will be nice to have an appealing current kitchen for the long run. Trends can quickly change and become outdated. For this reason we pick a few kitchen remodeling trends you may want to avoid.
· Colored Appliances – Every season, you will find a new color trend. Design consultants and manufacturers may try to sell you the new “in” color when it comes to appliances but nothing becomes more dated. Stick with stainless steel and you can never go wrong.
· Kitchen Nooks/Niches – If you are considering a place for a landline phone or a spot that offers you a desk like area, don’t. This is often the sign of a dated kitchen. Most people don’t even use landlines anymore. They can also become an area that ends up being a space for junk and clutter.
· Apron – Front Kitchen Sinks – Apron front kitchen sinks were all the rage a couple years ago. This year not many homeowners have asked for them. When it comes to something like your kitchen sink, go traditional. Stainless steel sinks will always be timeless.
· Pot Racks – Pot racks were once all the rage as a decorative way to hang the pots in your kitchen. Homeowners are now looking to keeping the kitchen an open space. Instead of pot racks consider deep drawers to store them away.
