Kitchen Design Trends to Inspire Your 2020 Remodel

Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for 2020

When it comes to 2020 kitchen designs, incorporating backsplash is essential. But what is backsplash tile, and what styles are available? 

The word “backsplash” traditionally describes the space between the countertops and the bottoms of your cabinets. While its original purpose was simply to guard against splatters from cooking or washing the dishes, modern backsplash also has an aesthetic purpose, letting you showcase your personal style through all types of colours, designs, and patterns. 

When used creatively, backsplash does for your kitchen what a statement wall does for your bedroom or living room. So what are some of the biggest kitchen backsplash trends dominating 2020? Forecasts include:

• Bold, mosaic-like patterns, such as tiles in alternating colours or textures
• Dark colours (which are also useful for making small kitchens look bigger)
• Ceramic and porcelain tiles

Trending Kitchen Countertops in 2020

Countertops are more than just surface area for cooking; they can also complement your backsplash, walls, floors, and cabinetry. Continuing the all-white kitchen trend that’s burst onto the design scene in recent years, light-coloured countertops are expected to be hot in 2020, especially varieties like marble and quartz. 

Not only do these products look sophisticated — they’re also ideally suited for kitchen use. Materials like stone and marble stay cool, resist moisture and resist physical wear-and-tear, making them both elegant and functional. 

2020 Colour Trends for Your Kitchen Cabinets

Spa-like, minimalist white? Striking, sophisticated black? A funky patterned wallpaper that’s energizing and bright, or a solid pastel colour that’s soothing and serene? 

There are truly limitless options when creating a palette for your kitchen, depending on your personal style preferences, pre-existing colour schemes, and the mood or tone you’d like to set for the space. To help you narrow down your style choices, here are some hot and emerging cabinet and kitchen colour trends for 2020: 

• Bright, lemony yellows
• Turquoise and similar aqua blue shades
• Various shades of green, including hunter green and avocado green

2020 Appliance Trends for Your Kitchen

Appliances make your chores faster and more efficient. They can also make your kitchen more beautiful, simplifying your life while bringing your style up-to-date. 

Realtors, retailers, and researchers anticipate an upsurge in demand for environmentally-friendly appliances, which have gained popularity over the past decade. Other hot products to watch next year include mini dishwasher-sink combos, self-drying dishwashers, and appliances that connect with increasingly sophisticated “smart” devices (such as Google Home or the Amazon Echo). 

You should also be on the lookout for stainless steel appliances or brightly coloured appliances, which are expected to be major trends next year.

Kitchen Flooring Ideas Trending in 2020

Since they’re used for cooking and baking, kitchens are prone to spills and accidents. Kitchens also tend to receive heavy foot-traffic, especially if they double as dining rooms. 

You need a kitchen floor that will stand up to these challenges, but you also want something that looks and feels great. Fortunately for homeowners, most of the upcoming trends in flooring offer the best of both worlds. Consider one of these beautiful yet durable kitchen flooring ideas for 2020: 

• Longer, wider planks are becoming “the norm” for both hardwood and engineered wood products
• Light colours are also growing in popularity, like shades of blonde or honey (instead of mahogany or Brazilian cherry)
• Herringbone (i.e. woven) floor patterns are a major design trend to watch
• Waterproof flooring, like luxury vinyl, is an anticipated best-seller
