Designers from coast to coast are cooking up fresh ideas for
kitchen upgrades. This year’s hottest trends bring numerous
fresh aesthetic approaches while functionality also plays a lead-
ing role in top design ideas.
If you are planning a kitchen upgrade, take inspiration from
these on-trend elements spotted by the design experts at Well-
born Cabinet:
Clever storage solutions
Unique tile
In recent years, backsplash tile has taken a more prominent role
in kitchen design and has continued to grow in popularity to the
point where tile is now a full-stop focal point. From eye-catching
colors and patterns to texture that brings new dimension, kitchen
tile can make a big statement. In fact, bold tile is not just limited
to the backsplash. Patterned tile is an on-trend option for adding
character to your fl ooring and dressing up commonly under-de-
signed spaces like the window jamb with a practical material, like
tile, that is easy to clean and maintain.
Multiple appliances
Function is front and center in residential kitchen design this
year, and homeowners’ growing demands to go big on appli-
ances is proof. From double ovens to extra dishwashers, home-
owners are committing to more useful features. There are even
some kitchens that boast two refrigerators, which may be a nod
to the way grocery shopping habits shifted during the pandemic,
with fewer, but larger, trips to the store.

This year’s hot trends in kitchen upgrades blend fresh aesthetics
with functionality.
in a variety of widths and heights, Wellborn Cabinet’s Walk-
Through Pantry blends naturally into the rest of your cabinetry
to create visual continuity. Integrated magnetic door catches add
stability and keep doorways securely closed.
Wood fi nishes
After years of painted cabinets and woodwork dominating
kitchen design, wood grain fi nishes are making a comeback.
The look is cozy and inviting, and with a wide span of stain
options, it is equally possible to take the look ultra-modern or
veer toward a more traditional style. Outside of cabinetry, there
is plenty of room to incorporate the warmth of wood, such as
butcher-block counters or exposed beams.
Walk-through pantries
Green, blue and earth tones
Whether you are capitalizing on the mystique of a “hidden”
room or attracted to the idea of a more seamless aesthetic, a
walk-through pantry can be a stunning and functional solution.
With a walk-through pantry, you can add extra space to an exist-
ing pantry to create a better fl ow to your fl oor plan. Available
Jewel-inspired hues had their moment, but this season’s
color scheme is more about subtle shades that meld with neu-
trals for lighter, brighter spaces that feel airier and more spa-
cious. Greens, in particular, pair well with an array of wood
fi nishes, whether cabinetry, countertops or furnishings. Integrat-
The kitchen is a busy place prone to clutter, and this season
you will fi nd multiple examples of practical solutions show-
ing up in showcase kitchens. The features that can make your
kitchen chores easier and neater come in all shapes and sizes.
For example, discreet knife blocks tucked into drawers, drawer
dividers for maximum customization and sliders that make it
easy to empty the trash and recycling bins.
Marble countertops
Marble is not necessarily a new trend, but this year’s atten-
tion is on slabs of marble with eye-catching veins that make
counters really pop. For a fresh take on marble, forgo the typical
white, gray or black styles in favor of color. Standout gold vein-
ing or even full slabs with stunning greens, blues and reds can
make a statement. If budget is an issue, or you are worried about
too much of a good thing, consider using a bold slab on a smaller
space, like the island, rather than outfi tting the entire kitchen.
