_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Trends
Not only are these nuanced details becoming more important and requested , but clients are also seeking efficient and functional solutions like organization concepts integrated into their cabinetry . We ’ ve developed some creative solutions to streamline the kitchen workflow and ensure it works properly for busy families and everyday life .
Furthermore , we are incorporating new technology into our kitchen designs as this has become a big trend in kitchen design throughout the past few years . As our clients embrace the advancements in technology , we have seen a demand for appliances with integrated technology and smart features that enhance functionality and convenience .
Creative solutions
When it comes to design elements , our clients are more inclined to take risks and go bold in their kitchens . This includes being enthusiastic about fun island designs and pushing the boundaries of creativity . Additionally , there ’ s a rising interest in appliances that are integrated and concealed within the cabinetry , offering a clean and cohesive appearance . Lately we are seeing more demand for neutrals with added textures vs color . I feel that this offers a nice timeless look . From a product specific side , I am seeing more demand for steam ovens and builtin coffee makers , and we are also seeing more demand for outdoor kitchens as clients embrace indoor / outdoor living .
As we look ahead to the new year , I ’ d love to see a move away from traditional , bulky cabinetry and oversized appliances in favor of sleek , streamlined designs . Embracing integrated solutions and minimalist aesthetics would allow for cleaner , more sophisticated kitchens that suit modern lifestyles .
On the bathroom front , our clients are requesting larger bathrooms that incorporate wellness features that enhance relaxation , like steam showers and saunas . There ’ s also been a trend towards creating spa-like environments with a focus on relaxation and overall well-being . Many of our clients enjoy creating separate spaces including his and her sinks and we almost always design separate water closets if the space will accommodate .
On the efficiency and technology side , our clients are asking for hidden outlets , USB ports , and creative storage solutions in their bathrooms and we have been specifying digital shower systems and steam showers with integrated sound and aromatherapy scents .
We are even seeing requests for outdoor retreats with a cold plunge and are seeing less color and more neutrals with texture .
For 2025 and beyond I ’ d love to see bathrooms evolve into true retreats - spaces designed for relaxation and personal escape . By incorporating elements like soothing lighting , luxurious materials , and spa-like features , we can transform bathrooms into serene havens for unwinding and rejuvenation . ■
