Kitchen Design Trends For 2023 + Trends That Are OUT!

As an Italian I cook everyday, a hot dish once a day is important for my family health. Therefore, and unfortunately, lamps, works of art and other objects would require a double attention and double work otherwise they would be covered with grease, which is inevitable when you cook. And a pristine kitchen is a necessity. Congratulations for the video, I like your channel very much.

A kitchen trend that never goes out of style. Very popular in my home this year: A mess.

When my mother renovated her kitchen in the early nineties, she imported white cabinets from Germany and had her counters made of soap stone when everyone else was doing cherry cabinets and granite. She even painted the walls in a light, warm gray. We thought it a weird choice and maybe a nod to my Dad’s Navy days, but it looked cozy and really pretty. with the bright white trim. We recently sold the house and the kitchen was still in excellent condition and the kitchen sold it. Her reasoning was she wanted to see fingerprints so they could be quickly cleaned and virtually indestructible counters. She also put polished slate counters into our vacation home. I actually put a pan I set on fire on that counter and it did no damage at all. She was ahead of her time.

2 yrs ago when I reno’d my 40-yr-old kitchen I asked my “kitchen lady” if she thought I should do some open shelving. I could tell just by the look on her face the answer was “no”. So I didn’t and have been grateful ever since. Impractical, space-wasting and, most importantly, just more shelves to dust!! Thank you, my smart kitchen lady.

The house we live in now came with a bar, but as we aren't drinkers, I changed it into a coffee bar. I painted the wall behind it black, installed walnut stained open shelving for tea pots and mugs, and loaded it up with cannisters for biscuits, cookies, and coffee accessories. We have a black countertop and a copper backslash to install to finish it up. All in good time.

The all white kitchen is ideal (🥰to me) because kitchens are work/prep spaces where visibility/cleanliness is a priority. And when we remodel our very brown kitchen, I’ll definitely be adding some light bright white. 🤣

Agreed open shelving as a default needs to go. Open shelving is decor not storage. To make it look good, you need cohesive, but varied items and a lot of empty negative space. Which means you can’t store like items all together because it’s too much of the same object, so now you’ve got cups stored in two separate places in your kitchen. Plus the greasy dust!

here in Australia microwaves have never been put above the stove. People who are designing a new kitchen make a hidy hole in the island or under the bench, but for most people with an existing kitchen it's just on the bench. I disagree that people aren't buying microwaves anymore. Myself and everyone I know could not survive without one!

Art and small counter lamps have always been a standard for my kitchens. It's what our grandmothers used before under counter lighting. It makes the kitchen inviting and cozy at night

Art and accent lamps in the kitchen? Gosh, I've done that in all my kitchens for the past 50 yrs. Timeless!

I've always loved white kitchens. You can add color accents to it, along with wood like chairs, cutting boards, etc.

Watching this while having my white kitchen installed because it's the only color my husband would agree to 😑 but I agree that it's a timeless color especially since it's neutral and lends itself to other wall colors/styles

Paneled appliances are great in theory but the problem is that even high-end brands are trash quality nowadays. It’s a pain to put so much extra money towards paneled fridges/dishwashers only to potentially have to replace them in five years when they wear out. The extra cost would be worth it if you could rely on your appliances to have as long of a life as your cabinetry but in reality, that’s just not the case anymore.

I know you're not talking about this kind of art in the kitchen, but I can't help think of my grandma's kitchen. With her cornucopia framed print & the picture of the old man praying over a loaf of bread that he's about to eat. Then there was the wooden sign that said, "Of all the rooms in my home. Everyone likes my kitchen best."

I think “statement marble” slabs are the future equivalent of “90’s granite”.

For the first time, I'm living in an apartment that doesn't have an OTR microwave and I hate it. Like I hear you on all the reasons not to do it, especially if you have a large kitchen or pantry. But a microwave is indespensible for my partner, and I still find it the easiest way to reheat wet foods or melt a little bit of butter, so if it's not over the range it WILL be taking up valuable counter space. And having it at eye height means I don't have to bend over to keep an eye on my food. So yeah, in a high-end kitchen design with lots of space there are some great alternative options, but there are also lots of reasons I don't think it's going anywhere in smaller/budget kitchens.

Mixing materials, colors/ tones, and creating something you love not just because it’s trendy, will always be timeless❤

I love my warm wood refinished (8 years ago) 80 year old cabinets in my terracotta painted kitchen. But I also love my OTR microwave and you won’t talk me out of it. I like my countertops almost completely bare.

This reminds me of all the trends I’ve followed in my 76 years. We never had enough money but my mom and I transformed every rental that our family of six moved to almost every year. I got serious in gr. 9 when I painted a sepia ponderosa pine wall mural on the living room wall, bought Sputnik planters all very trendy at the time! Art school communal digs had me painting the brick fireplace and wood trim black, another student rental had me painting all my bamboo furnishings red lacquer. Still at it and loving all the changes. I’ve been into hiding it all for years and can’t wait to do it for my latest place. Love seeing what you’re sharing every week!

I did a ceiling to floor appliance garage (double doors) with pull out shelving and, of course, electricity. BEST DECISION EVER for our rehab. Even the toaster is in there. Pull out the shelf to use. Also houses the blender, food processor...on and on. LOVE IT!
