This article we’re covering the 17 Top Kitchen Design Trends Los Angeles. Kitchens are undeniably the heart of today’s homes – next to the bathrooms – so, understandably, you want your kitchen to look its best. Even if you aren’t in the market for a total re-do, one or two trendy updates will bring your kitchen into the 21st century – how do you like them apples?
Gray is the New White | 17 Top Kitchen Design Trends Los Angeles
Wondering what color to paint your cabinets? The kitchen industry’s leading manufacturers say that while white cabinets continue to be tops, gray is the shade they’re betting on to break white’s top spot in 2017. This kitchen by Wellborn pairs soft gray cabinets with richly stained wood showcasing yet another kitchen trend — combining cabinet colors is a trendy look that’s holding strong.
Opt for New Functionality | 17 Top Kitchen Design Trends Los Angeles
Not only is the color of kitchen cabinets changing — hardware manufacturers, like Blum, are changing the way cabinet doors and drawers function. These hydraulic, easy-close doors fold up and out of the way with the touch of a button making them perfect for kitchens where space is an issue. Hot mom’s flip flops not included.
Classic Black and White Palette | 17 Top Kitchen Design Trends Los Angeles
The look may change as styles evolve, but the appeal of a black-and-white kitchen never dies. It’s all about high contrast — this design from IKEA juxtaposes white lacquer cabinets (from IKEA’s LIDINGÖ line) and Absolute Black granite countertops, but it also benefits from the tension between country and modern. Warm rustic hardwood floors are an effective counterpoint to sleek cabinet materials. Yes, I said IKEA.
Choose Bold Fixtures | 17 Top Kitchen Design Trends Los Angeles
Bold color isn’t the only way to create excitement. Kitchen designer Vasi Ypsilantis used these oversized light fixtures with black fabric shades from Tech Lighting to add some wow: “They’re about 2 feet in diameter and are slightly larger than you would expect for the space,” she says. “But they give a great sense of depth perception and create drama in a room with a typical low ceiling.” The luxurious cabinets are Poggenpohl’s Marsh Oak Veneer with a rich near-black stain.

In the same kitchen, Vasi chose Caesarstone “Blizzard” for the countertops and used a glass mosaic backsplash from Mixed-Up Mosaics that combines milky white and eggplant colors with a mirrored tile. “Keeping the cabinets such a dark finish in a small space worries most homeowners because they think it will make the kitchen look smaller,” she says. “But it actually creates drama, as long as the countertops and backsplashes are kept light or white to balance light and dark in the space.” That’s what we’re taking about!
Maximize Kitchen Storage | 17 Top Kitchen Design Trends Los Angeles
