But as kitchens increasingly become the social hub of the home (and one of the top features buyers are looking for), differences in taste, technology, and other trends become more pronounced from year to year. And since upgrading a kitchen is such a long-term commitment, it&#8217;s important to know what kitchen trends are on their way out, and which ones are here to stay.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Black Countertops<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9667\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9667\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Black Coutertops Are Simple, Clean, And Have A Just Slightly Formal Air That Pairs Well With Any Color (by Chr DAUER Architects, photo by Bruce Damonte)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9667\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/\/2014\/01\/Black-Coutertops-Are-Simple-Clean-And-Have-A-Just-Slightly-Formal-Air-That-Pairs-Well-With-Any-Color-by-Chr-DAUER-Architects-photo-by-Bruce-Damonte.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Black-Coutertops-Are-Simple-Clean-And-Have-A-Just-Slightly-Formal-Air-That-Pairs-Well-With-Any-Color-by-Chr-DAUER-Architects-photo-by-Bruce-Damonte.jpg 480w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Black-Coutertops-Are-Simple-Clean-And-Have-A-Just-Slightly-Formal-Air-That-Pairs-Well-With-Any-Color-by-Chr-DAUER-Architects-photo-by-Bruce-Damonte-400x303.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Coutertops Are Simple, Clean, And Have A Just Slightly Formal Air That Pairs Well With Any Color (by Chr DAUER Architects, photo by Bruce Damonte)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most prominent 2014 kitchen trends is the steep rise in popularity of black countertops. Toward the end of 2013 these started to become a hot, must-have item on many homeowners&#8217; wishlists, and the trend doesn&#8217;t seem to be slowing down. What material they should be made out of, though, is still really up for debate. Black granite is still a popular choice with homeowners looking to upgrade to stone for the first time, but many homeowners and designers alike are starting to turn away from granite because it can be very high-maintenance, not to mention expensive. Unless you have your heart set on stone, consider opting instead for a synthetic material, like a composite quartz or granite. These are more affordable, easier to maintain, and have a more consistent appearance.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Open Shelves Or Glass Fronted Upper Cabinets<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9668\" style=\"width: 425px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Open Shelves And Glass Fronted Cabinets Have A More Open Look And Feel And Turn Your Everyday Items Into A Personlized Display (by Renewal Design-Build)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9668\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/\/2014\/01\/Open-Shelves-And-Glass-Fronted-Cabinets-Have-A-More-Open-Look-And-Feel-And-Turn-Your-Everyday-Items-Into-A-Personlized-Display-by-Renewal-Design-Build.jpg\" width=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Open-Shelves-And-Glass-Fronted-Cabinets-Have-A-More-Open-Look-And-Feel-And-Turn-Your-Everyday-Items-Into-A-Personlized-Display-by-Renewal-Design-Build.jpg 425w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Open-Shelves-And-Glass-Fronted-Cabinets-Have-A-More-Open-Look-And-Feel-And-Turn-Your-Everyday-Items-Into-A-Personlized-Display-by-Renewal-Design-Build-354x400.jpg 354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Open Shelves And Glass Fronted Cabinets Have A More Open Look And Feel And Turn Your Everyday Items Into A Personalized Display (by Renewal Design-Build)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For years, homeowners have shown a preference for increasingly open kitchen spaces: big, open floor plans that connect to a great room, integrated dining areas, and so on. But perhaps the biggest 2014 kitchen trend goes a step farther, opening up the <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/kitchen-328.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kitchen\">kitchen<\/a> by removing the upper cabinets entirely. While hefty cabinets are great for storage, they interrupt the line of sight, visually closing off a kitchen no matter how perfect the floor plan. This year, prepare to see cabinets replaced by open shelves, glass fronted (or doorless) cabinets, or even no cabinets at all. This look both offers better visibility and feels more personal, turning everyday items like glassware and dinnerware into decor items.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Tall, Slab Backsplashes<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9669\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9669\" style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Big Stone Slab Backsplashes Will Be A Major Focal Point Of Kitchens In 2014, Especially As Upper Cabinets Are Removed, Leaving The Area Around The Range Hood Morer Open (by Michael Richman)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9669\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/\/2014\/01\/Big-Stone-Slab-Backsplashes-Will-Be-A-Major-Focal-Point-Of-Kitchens-In-2014-Especially-As-Upper-Cabinets-Are-Removed-Leaving-The-Area-Around-The-Range-Hood-Morer-Open-by-Michael-Richman.jpg\" width=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Stone-Slab-Backsplashes-Will-Be-A-Major-Focal-Point-Of-Kitchens-In-2014-Especially-As-Upper-Cabinets-Are-Removed-Leaving-The-Area-Around-The-Range-Hood-Morer-Open-by-Michael-Richman.jpg 474w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Big-Stone-Slab-Backsplashes-Will-Be-A-Major-Focal-Point-Of-Kitchens-In-2014-Especially-As-Upper-Cabinets-Are-Removed-Leaving-The-Area-Around-The-Range-Hood-Morer-Open-by-Michael-Richman-400x261.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9669\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Big Stone Slab Backsplashes Will Be A Major Focal Point Of Kitchens In 2014, Especially As Upper Cabinets Are Removed, Leaving The Area Around The Range Hood More Open (by Michael Richman)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Freeing up the space over the counter means that in 2014 kitchen backsplashes are trending bigger and taller than ever. While even five years ago <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/mosaic-tile-715.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Mosaic Tiles\">tile backsplashes<\/a> hovered around 4 inches high, that number has been steadily growing. This year, expect to see backsplashes that go all the way up to the ceiling, and that are as wide as an entire wall. Last years back-painted glass backsplashes are still popular, particularly with a more modern style, but backsplashes made of a single slab of stone like marble are going to become more common. This offers a much lower maintenance way to get real stone into your kitchen than the traditional counter tops, and means it&#8217;s possible to showcase a more unique piece of stone without worrying so much about inconsistent patterns or veining.<\/p>\n<p><b>Shop Backsplash tile:<\/b><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div style=\"text-align: center\">\r\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/?id=715\"  target=\"_blank\">Click to browse all<\/a>\r\n                         <\/div><div class=\"swiper slider1\"><div class=\"swiper-wrapper\"><div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                        <div class=\"in-slide\">\r\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/shop\/brand_nichetiles-mrlmet1953orb_mosaic-tile-and-decorative-tiles_viola.html\" class=\"item-db\"  target=\"_blank\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/productimages\/picdtl\/NicheTiles\/nichetiles-MRLMET1953ORB.jpg\" alt=\"NicheTiles 12 inchx18 inch Viola Metallic Resin Plaque.

Old Fashioned Farmhouse Style (With A Reclaimed, Industrial Twist)<\/h3>\n Incorporating Reclaimed Wood And Industrial Accents Is A Major Kitchen Trend For 2014, And Are A Great Way To Get A More Natural, Down-To-Earth White Kitchen (by Lawrence and Gomez Architects, photo by Tim Murphy \/ FotoImagery)\n<p>In 2013 there was a strong emphasis on the professional style kitchen &#8211; not just culinary grade kitchen appliances like the <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/kitchen-ranges-811.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kitchen Range\">range<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/range-hoods-632.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Range Hoods\">range hood<\/a>, but even the kitchen sink and faucet. 2014 kitchen trends are leaning to a slightly softer, more traditional farmhouse style kitchen, but with a twist. Big stainless steel sinks are being replaced by more classic fireclay or porcelain farmhouse sinks, and those professional quality appliances are being paired with more rustic touches, especially reclaimed wood. Reclaimed farmhouse items (like barn beams and barn doors) are becoming hugely popular statement pieces that go hand in hand with reclaimed industrial items (especially lighting) to create a kitchen with a slightly earthier look and feel.<\/p>\n<p><b>Shop Farmhouse Kitchen Sinks:<\/b><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<h3>6.

By and large 2014 is going to be a year for bright, bold colors in the kitchen, rather than the light neutrals we&#8217;ve been seeing in years prior. Dark, assertive reds, blues, copper or brass finishes, browns, and even black are becoming quite popular, for paint on the walls and cabinets as well as smaller accents like the backsplash. For those who favor a slightly less intense look, neutrals are also making a good showing this year. Gray in particular is being used to create a slightly more formal look that bridges traditional and modern, especially when paired with an intense black and white contrast.<\/p>\n<h3>7. White Kitchen With A Twist<\/h3>\n A Reclaimed Wood Island, Barn Beams, Industrial Style Lights, And Few Upper Cabinets Put This White Kitchen Right On Trend For 2014 (by Marcelle Guilbeau, Interior Designer)\n<p>That said, if you aren&#8217;t quite ready to give up on the white kitchen, don&#8217;t worry. While the white-on-white look is starting to be pooh-poohed by some designers as too cold and sterile, many homeowners are still attracted to this style and are finding new ways to make it work in 2014. In fact, despite the move toward bolder, darker colors, white kitchens actually pair very well with a few of 2014s other most popular kitchen trends. White cabinets paired with black counter tops or other black or gray accents create a striking, formal look, while white paired with reclaimed wood and industrial fixtures is iconic of the kind of farmhouse style kitchen that&#8217;s really going to be popular this year.<\/p>\n<h3>8.

Even stainless steel appliances are starting to lose a little ground, but mostly this trend is smaller-scale, focusing on items like the kitchen faucet, cabinet hardware, range hood, and lighting fixtures. Swapping to a matte finish like brushed or satin nickel will do the trick to quickly update your look, but if you&#8217;re feeling bold, brass, antique gold, black, and oil rubbed bronze finishes have a warmer look that&#8217;s even more desirable, and very popular this year.<\/p>\n<p><b>Shop Kitchen faucets:<\/b><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<h3>9.

But one major 2014 kitchen trend is actually to look beyond the typical, standard kitchen appliances. As more unique appliances hit the market &#8211; like refrigerator drawer or double dishwashers &#8211; and the kitchen becomes a more multipurpose family space, the conventional kitchen work triangle is starting to disappear. Instead of the conventional kitchen range-sink-refrigerator spacing, homeowners are starting to focus on customizing the layout of their kitchen, making space for cooking, entertaining, homework, and more to ensure the kitchen is a friendly place for the whole family. In terms of appliances in particular, that means choosing, spacing, and placing them to suit the way the kitchen is actually used.<\/p>\n<h3>10.

Especially if you&#8217;re going to eliminate your upper cabinets, it&#8217;s crucial to take into account where you&#8217;re going to put all your displaced items. Pantries are becoming an increasingly important selling point for a kitchen, but smaller-scale storage is just as important. Installing pull out shelves in lower cabinets to make items more accessible, squeezing pull out cabinets into any unused spaces, and even incorporating permanent drawer organizers, spice racks, or other innovative features make a kitchen much more functional without any major changes to the style.<\/p>\n<p>Which of these kitchen trends are you most looking forward to?
