Kitchens have long been regarded as the central gathering place for families, but, for years, in more of a utilitarian sense. For the past 20 to 30 years, though, homeowners have begun regarding their kitchens as more than just the place to cook and serve meals – kitchens have become integral parts of the home, being designed to portray not just a style and aesthetic but also a feeling of completeness to the home’s overall design. We spoke to Denise Dermody, MOSS Project Designer, about recent kitchen design trends that she’s been seeing with our customers and learned the following.

Many of our MOSS customers enjoy cooking and baking in their kitchens and long to use every square inch of their space efficiently. A popular trend these days is dedicated and specific cabinetry choices, whether that’s a cabinet with a built-in stand mixer, cabinets with built-in dividers for various cutting boards or cookie sheets, full cabinets dedicated to baking supplies and spices, or pull-out drawers with built-in holders for kitchen utensils and more. Individuals aren’t cookie cutters, and these days, neither is cabinetry!

The trend for an all-white kitchen is slowly fading (although plenty of customers still appreciate a clean, all-white space). Nowadays, our customers are looking at their kitchen as part of their entire home, and how the selections and colors therein flow well with the rest of their home’s design. Customers are choosing colorful or warm tones for cabinetry and adding in touches of home such as leather handles and lacquered brash finishes. Overall, finishes such as fixtures and knobs are trending towards more comfortable and warmer versus clean and cold.
Natural Finishes

This inviting open layout showcases the latest kitchen design trends, emphasizing natural light and a seamless flow between spaces.
Many kitchen designs are trending toward natural finishes, including concrete, natural stone and natural wood countertops, for example. A lean towards things you’d find in nature and various types of woods are also a trend for customers. Customers are adding open space and open upper cabinets to their kitchen designs in order to showcase books, pottery, and other personal items, creating spaces that are welcoming and cozy.
