TIMELESS KITCHEN DESIGN TRENDS IN 2020

Double Islands

Merillat Classic® Collection Ralston designed by KSI Designer, Lisa Huckabaa

Expanding a kitchen’s functionality and improving traffic low lend to double island designs. With the addition of a second sink you can divide the area between meal preparation and entertaining space. Seating at islands has been a consistent theme in kitchen design, but now table level seating is the trend in the year 2020.

A Colorful Backsplash

Grey stains, including Cannon Grey, provide a nice contrast to a backsplash that adds a pop of color. While white and grey kitchens will always be in style and cabinetry is in an investment in your home, take risk with color when choosing a tile to compliment your design.

Dark Countertops

Elle Décor highlights natural materials are taking over, and kitchens are aligning with this trend in 2020. Countertops are going dark, including natural woods like walnut and live edge wood. Or consider soapstone countertops as a classic choice to accent an island.

Navy and Dark Blue Cabinets

We will see dark, navy blue, Midnight and Nightfall paint colors grow in popularity in 2020. Merillat Masterpiece® Collection  ColorMatch™ allows you to use the Sherwin-Williams color Naval, a rich dark blue and their 2020 Color of the Year, as an accent color on an island, or incorporated throughout a timeless design.
