Kitchen Decor Trends for 2016

The kitchen gets a lot of foot traffic and should be not only convenient and easy to work in but also good looking. Following are some interior design Sioux Falls trends for 2016 that can apply to a kitchen remodeling job.

Neutral Colors are In

Neutral colors are in this year and are expected to be popular next year as well. White has been the most popular kitchen cupboard color to date but gray is catching up fast. Light gray, white and tan granite countertops match well with light colored cabinets and floor tiles, giving a home a warm, inviting feel. Trendy colors for the kitchen walls include lavender, light blue and light green. White or off-white are also good color selections.

Open Floor Plans

Open floor plans add space to a kitchen and bath design Sioux Falls can be particularly ideal for a homeowner who enjoys hosting parties and get-togethers in the house. However, it should be noted that combining the living room, dining room and kitchen into one large room means that one will need to ensure that all these rooms match well with each other. If the living room and kitchen have very different styles of decor, it may be best to leave these rooms separate instead of joining them.

Space Saving

Space saving storage options are set to continue to be popular and it is not hard to see why. Many people keep a variety of kitchen items that are only used once or twice a year (i.e. for Christmas and Thanksgiving).  There are also many people who have a small kitchen that needs more storage space. Space saving storage options are unobtrusive, can hold various items and can even be customized to suit one's specific needs. 

A Sioux Falls homeowner who is having his or her kitchen remodeled will want to consider the above mentioned interior trends to see if one or more would be suitable for the home. While not all these trends are ideal for every single home, they do help to make a home more aesthetic than before.

A light colored palette, combined with an open floor plan and space saving cupboards, can give a home a bright, welcoming appearance. What is more, these styles are suitable for any type of home, be it elegant, casual and contemporary or rustic and traditional.
