Open Space Kitchen Concept

Choosing open space kitchens, by integrating the kitchen and living room space, is becoming more and more popular. Modern kitchens are designed to facilitate an informal, interactive lifestyle where people can get together to entertain, socialize or work. An open kitchen concept can also make a small space or residential kitchen feel much larger. Tearing down walls is an easy way to trick the eye into thinking that you have got more square footage than you really do, which is something most people in NYC are looking for, and is hence a major continued trend in 2020.

Classic Black And White Kitchens

This time-tested color scheme is back for the luxury buyer in 2020. Consider using this understated design pattern of black and white kitchen cabinets to make other details stand out, such as elegant kitchen appliances, your modern kitchen layout or a bold art piece. Consider swapping in a shade of gray for a less traditional look in your custom kitchen. If you are a fan of dark wood cabinets, be aware that modern kitchen design is moving away from the industrial style of the past five years and toward a more homey look. Add some extra coziness to your kitchen by selecting a specifically warm type of wood for your kitchen cabinets. Opt for a lighter kitchen countertop to balance out the overall color scheme.

 

Dark And Bold Kitchen Designs

If strong contrasts in your kitchen is not quite your style, and you are also not necessarily looking for a timeless, all-white kitchen, so often adorned by modernists and minimalists alike, there is another highly trending design option that may be relevant for you. Using dark and/or bold colors and designs in your kitchen is an ongoing big trend in 2020 that can be implemented in a variety of different ways. Splashes of color find their way into modern kitchen design in 2020 via accent walls, tiles or accessories such as vases and kitchenware. Another option is to add a darker finish to your kitchen cabinetry, such as dark wood veneer or to choose a bold countertop such as black granite. White will probably still stick around in parts of your kitchen though since after all, white or other light colors are essential to drive your home’s brightness and will, same as in past years, also remain popular in the future.

Mixed Kitchen Materials

Today’s kitchen designers are often creating a so-called “mixed” look for their clients by combining difference materials and kitchen cabinet colors, hence breaking on purpose rules from the past decade. Pairing various kitchen materials and finishes together is a great way to add personality to your modern kitchen. This is especially effective for your kitchen countertops. A marble countertop with a wooden kitchen island, for example, can look beautiful when executed well, and can create a touch of elegance in your kitchen space. Ask a kitchen designer about the kitchen materials that are trending in 2020, and which ones they recommend using for your particular space and needs.

High-Tech Kitchen Features

Today’s kitchens in 2020 are subtly fitted to accommodate modern technology. Install hidden charging portals and smart kitchen appliances to add high-tech kitchen features without overwhelming your kitchen and interior space. Also, consider purchasing eco-friendly or solar-powered kitchen appliances and use modern innovations to lower your environmental footprint. If your kitchen space has large windows, be inspired by airy, European kitchen design elements, through which you can optimize the natural light in your 2020 luxury kitchen design. Large windows will open up your space and allow light to pour over your gorgeous kitchen features. If your kitchen is located in a more central location, consider skylights and wall cutouts to create this same effect.

Innovative Kitchen Appliance Options

Nowadays kitchens are thought of as more than just a place to cook a casual meal, and homeowners turn to professional-grade kitchen appliances for their new multi-purpose room. Why go to a bar if you can choose from a great selection of wine in your personal custom wine cooler? There is also no need to go to crowded coffee places early in the morning if you can have a built-in coffee machine in your beautiful custom kitchen. And it is up to you whether you would like to cover up your kitchen appliances behind cabinet doors, or prefer to leave them openly exposed as part of the design, which is a big trend in 2020, especially if you choose innovative, high-end kitchen appliances for your kitchen design.

Personalization In Your Kitchen

Regardless of currently ongoing kitchen design trends in 2020, your kitchen remodel project should reflect your own personal taste and style. Thanks to all the design options, your kitchen can reflect your personal style both aesthetically and functionally, and plan your kitchen redesign based on your individual design desires and needs. Especially if you are planning to live in your home for more than five years, it is important to consider your own needs rather than the needs of the future buyer. Find out more about your individual kitchen design preferences by browsing through our modern residential kitchen portfolio. And if you are having any doubts about your design choices, be sure to hire a professional kitchen designer, like we at Cesar NYC Kitchens, since we can provide best advice in terms of your buying and aesthetic decisions. No matter what your budget is, the design choices for 2020 are endless.

Our Custom Design Tips:

  • Remember to include storage. Even the sleekest kitchen designs can hide storage units, so be sure to include plenty of kitchen cabinets, shelving, and pantries. While it might be tempting to be as minimalist as possible, it is still important to store your kitchen tools somewhere. This will help avoid clutter later on.
  • Be wary of trends. Your kitchen is a high traffic area, so try to opt for timeless pieces when building your modern kitchen design. A piece might look attractive right now, but you don’t want to get tired of it once the next trend pops up. Always be mindful of how your tastes may change.
  • Think functionality. Every piece of your kitchen design should have a purpose. This will let you fully optimize the space, using the features as well as enjoying them. While aesthetics will drive your design, remember to keep functional aspects in mind.
  • Consider various options. Exploring several design possibilities will help you decide exactly what you are looking for. If you settle on the first kitchen counter material you see, for example, you might not know what other kitchen countertop materials you could like better. Be patient during this process, as you want the kitchen space to be ideal.
  • Hire an expert. Professional kitchen designers will help you decide on every detail of the room, creating a complete picture that considers a variety of design and functional aspects. When hiring a designer, be sure to look at their portfolio and decide whether you enjoy their past designs, as an indication if this kitchen designer is the right choice for you.

Aesthetic And Functional Kitchen Choices

As you are designing your dream kitchen, picture yourself using every kitchen feature that you decide to purchase. This will ensure that you are making the right aesthetic and functional choices. Plan enough of your renovation budget for your kitchen. Homeowners will spend an average of 35% of their budgets on kitchen cabinets. This diligence will be worth it once the space is finished.

How To Incorporate European Flare Into Your Kitchen Design

By

Whether you have recently returned from the Italian countryside or have been dreaming of European living your whole life, Italian kitchens are the perfect space to place your inspiration. European kitchen designs are very much in style and one of the major kitchen trends all over the US, and especially in the design capital NYC, as a result of Italian design gurus across the pond being historically seen as the world’s main trendsetters. Follow the below design tips to incorporate a taste of Europe in your modern kitchen design.

Choose Mixed Materials

For those of you interested in a European look, know that uniform kitchen materials are no longer a must. Pair your wooden kitchen cabinets with metal chairs. As long as the result is stylish, then you have executed this look well. A recent survey found that 72% of homeowners prefer exposed stainless-steel kitchen appliances but remember that you can pair this with many materials as well. And keep it natural: Today’s European kitchens are inspired by nature. Think natural kitchen finishes and materials like wood and clay surrounded by plants and fresh flowers. Natural lighting is also a plus, as it quite literally opens up your kitchen to the outdoors. Hide your storage elements: European kitchen designers are hiding organizational elements in more creative ways than ever. Consider hiding your sink or dish rack under a removable kitchen countertop or installing kitchen cabinets without kitchen handles. These techniques remove clutter while creating space.

Remember Your Guests

In many European countries, eating and drinking is a joyful experience. Adopt this mentality by designing your kitchen for both cooking and entertaining purposes is what our Italian kitchen designer at Cesar NYC Kitchens definitely recommend doing at an early stage in your kitchen design process. This could include a large-sized kitchen island or a separate seating area. Get creative with how you want to entertain your guests, and tell your kitchen designer about all your needs and requirements, so to have no regrets after.

Add Pops Of Color

Europeans have mastered the art of sophistication. Remember this when selecting colored accents in your Italian kitchen and interior space. The best way to do this is to choose a neutral color pallet, then use artful touches like towels, sculptures, and small appliances to supplement with color. Or why not take a little more of a risk, and choose cabinetry colors, like yellow, blue, green, orange, red or pink for selected cabinets, like your upper kitchen cabinets, your kitchen island or the shelving within your kitchen space? Remember that the essence of European style is subtlety. You should feel elegant and comfortable in your space, not overwhelmed with design details. By starting with a simple design and thoughtfully building up your decor, you will achieve your ideal look. Also, consider working with professional kitchen designers to really complete your vision. Once you are finished with your stunning modern kitchen design, pour a glass of wine and enjoy.
