Kitchen Renovation Trends to Watch Out For in 2023

When it comes to kitchen trends for 2023, we can expect to see big things thanks to advancements in technology, bold colors and multifunctional spaces. You’ll notice that the newest trends focus on improving comfort and convenience in the kitchen, while enhancing the homeowner’s personal taste and style. Since the kitchen is the most widely used room in the home, it makes sense for it to be beautiful, functional and unique.

Below are some of the hottest kitchen renovation trends to have on your radar for 2023. Some of them are already being requested by Woodhaven clients - will your home be next?

Butler’s Pantries

Butler’s pantries became popular in the Victorian era for storing family silver and crystal. Today, they look similar but serve a different function - they’re now the perfect places for food prep and storage space. This intermediary room is traditionally found in between a kitchen and dining room, though it’s flexible. Some people turn butler’s pantries into coffee kiosks or liquor cabinets.

Slab Backsplashes

Want to update your backsplash? Move over subway tile because slab backsplashes are what’s in. Made from a continuous material, this solid surface creates a seamless visual effect, especially when matched to the countertops. For a bold statement, choose a different color. You’ll also love that slab backsplashes are easy to clean and maintain, as there are no grout lines.

Natural Materials

Over the last few years, we’ve had more requests to bring nature into our clients’ homes. They like the idea of creating a seamless transition from the outdoors to the indoors, and vice versa. Expect to see this trend continue in the form of more organic elements such as marble and quartz countertops, custom wood cabinetry, eco-friendly materials and warm colors.

Large Islands for Dining

Islands are popular - and they are only getting bigger and bolder! In fact, some clients are doing away with their kitchen tables and choosing an island instead. In 2023, we expect to see bigger islands - even double islands - becoming the norm. These islands can accommodate family meals, holiday entertaining and more. And, they provide a cleaner sight line compared to a table with multiple chairs.

Smart Technology

Smart technology is making its way onto kitchen appliances, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Whether the appliances are voice-activated or connected to your Wifi and controlled by your smartphone, this technology allows you to be most efficient in the kitchen. Not only that, but smart appliances are often more energy efficient than their traditional counterparts.

If you are thinking about updating your kitchen in 2023, be sure to factor in these trends. Not only will they enhance the look of your kitchen, but also they will make it more functional and convenient.
