Here are six kitchen trends we hope to see more of this year.

The beginning of the year is the perfect time to re-evaluate your kitchen s style. But how do you know which popular styles are truly classic, and which are just trends?

Whether you re designing your ultimate dream remodel, or planning a weekend DIY project, make sure you choose styles that will still look great in ten years.  Here are the trends that we think we ll be seeing more of in 2015, and for many years to come.

1. Open Shelving

Open shelving has long been a favorite choice for homeowners who desire the feel of a spacious kitchen. It’s a great way to showcase beautiful dishes, or even create an artful display with spices or gourmet oils. If you have a lot of clutter, open shelving may sound scary. But consider a mix of cabinets and open shelving for more flexibility. Open shelving also enables you to highlight more of your beautiful tile backsplash, or create an innovative storage space.

2. Warm Metals

3. Painted Cabinets

4. Light Woods

5. Quartz Countertops

Solid quartz countertops have been rising in popularity for a few years now due to their consistent patterning and low maintenance needs. There are no signs of this slowing down in fact, with other white stones like marble sweeping remodeling trends, the popularity of marble look-alike quartz has only grown. Solid surfaces like quartz add a high-end element that elevates the entire kitchen, and will bring you a good return on investment in the future. Neutral colors like whites, greys and greiges will continue to lead the pack in popularity, as they match with any color cabinet.

6. Shaped Tile
