6 On-Trend Styles To Consider For Your Kitchen Renovation
Updated on December 14, 2023

The first step in any renovation is nailing down ‘the look.’ Browse these 6 on-trend kitchens and discover your inspiration.

Pared-Back English
Painted wood cabinets in a classic style, such as Shaker or beadboard, are a timeless choice with lots of room to add individual personality. This twist on a typical English cottage kitchen opts for a cleaner look with a high marble backsplash topped with an open shelf for display and storage.

Scandi Shaker
Simple, spare and elegant, this kitchen style suits the minimalist who loves to cook. Unfitted white oak cabinets raised off the floor on slender legs, a clean, white palette and a lack of upper shelves or units are the anchors of this look.

Gallery Modern
Worthy of an art venue–type setting, this style of kitchen is built around showstopping veined stone like marble or a striking composite material. Use it in big slabs for a backsplash or the facing on an island — or both. Cabinets can be anything from classic Shaker to a contemporary flat profile.

Northern Farmhouse
This popular look has many variations, but they all have the same basic elements: rustic wood, open shelving and black metal accents. Incorporate natural elements such as a stone wall or fireplace to give it some Canadian appeal.

Sleek Contemporary
A strong black and white palette and minimal adornment make this kitchen at home in a modern environment. Clean, angular lines keep the cabinets and vent hood suitably understated.

Cali Heritage
This relaxed but curated West Coast style relies on Craftsman detailing, a neutral palette and an attention to detail. Pile on the decoration with expressive art, curated furniture and spectacular lighting.
