With more people cooking at home than ever before, the kitchen has taken on added importance in our daily routine. As a result, many homeowners have experienced a shift in style and design preferences when it comes to the heart of their home. Here are several emerging kitchen trends that ensure your cooking space meets all of your needs.

Truly Professional Grade
The term “professional grade” is often overused, but these days it’s perhaps the best way to describe the cutting-edge appliances that homeowners are bringing into their kitchens. High-end ranges boasting sous vide mode and combi-steam ovens, for instance, bring meal possibilities that were once only available to professional chefs right into your home.

Stylish Appliances
The functionality isn’t the only thing that’s getting an upgrade these days. Appliances are also taking on an exciting new look, as evidenced by Samsung’s chic BESPOKE Refrigerator collection that can be customized with various color schemes. And for an equally stylish range, check out the endless possibilities offered at Bluestar By Design to add a whole new layer of exciting patterns to your appliances.

Extra Storage
Those who are getting more use out of their kitchen are likely in need of more storage. For this reason, it’s become increasingly popular to have not one, but two islands to ensure there’s ample room for all of your appliances, tools and tableware. The walk-in pantry, of course, is another solution, which has also become an in-demand feature. 

Added Warmth
When it comes to aesthetics, the all-white, marble-clad kitchen was all the rage for the past few years. While this classic look will likely remain a continued favorite for years to come, many homeowners are looking for ways to add a sense of warmth, richness and texture to their cooking space. Materials like wood, copper and brass are being juxtaposed with soothing earth tones to create an ambience that exudes low-key luxury in today’s kitchens.
