Scroll down for 10 kitchen trends you’ll be seeing in 2023!

Maroon Cabinets
We have seen a tsunami of blue kitchens over the past few years, with green kitchens also catching the wave. Now the tide has turned towards warmer options like maroon or deep shades of eggplant.

Wallpaper Niches
Designers are using wallpaper niches to create beautiful, poetic moments, like in this kitchen which is adorned with Morris wallpaper. Concerned about grease splatter? Tempered glass was installed over the wallpaper to protect the paper and ensure easy cleaning.

Interesting Cabinet Cutouts
Long, capsule-shaped cutouts in this cabinet are even more intriguing thanks to the addition of caning.

Dramatic Counterplashes
The popular look of using the same stone on your countertops and backsplash creates a seamless look, but play it up to greater effect by continuing the stone to the full wall height in a dramatic, veined marble.

Round Islands
Rounded edges improve the flow in the kitchen, but it’s the sleek organic shape that homeowners are gravitating towards. For those who want something bespoke and unusual, this shape is a standout.

Antiqued Mirrors
The romantic rose-gold mirrored backsplash in this PMH showhome by Brian Gluckstein adds a ton of glamor to the powder-blue cabinets.

The Return Of The Kitchen Desk
It fell out of favor for a while, but a dedicated workstation in the kitchen came back strong when homeowners had to find new spots to Zoom. An area like this one could also function as a spot for homework or to browse through cookbooks while planning a menu.

Ceiling Interest
Eyes are turning upwards and designers are offering plenty of options. In this farmhouse, rustic beams add architectural distinction and warmth to the grey kitchen.

Wood Revival
We’ve seen plenty of colorful kitchens of late but there’s a strong resurgence in mid-wood tones. White blond woods have given way to deeper tones of walnut, seen in this kitchen’s substantial island.

‘Breakaway’ Tiles
In this trend, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to when the tiles stop and the wall begins. Here, designer Andi Wheelband took a free-form approach so the edges of triangular tiles segue into the wall in a whimsical way.
