5 Best Updates For Your Kitchen In 2022

Looking to update your kitchen this summer? 

Look no further, we have all the upcoming trends for creating your dream kitchen. Your kitchen is a big part of your home, and whether you’re just tweaking a part or completely renovating it, your home will look fresh and stylish. Find your design inspiration below!

Kitchen Cabinet Colors 

Super warm white & earthy tones are trending in 2022. 

You want to keep your kitchen looking bright and fresh! No longer stark white, we are now heading in a warm, cozy direction. Taupe and warm white cabinets are taking the place. Another great color to choose is greige. Greige tones are made up of beige and gray. They are a good way to keep it light, but also feel up to date. Greige tones are also a great color choice if you are worried about keeping the cabinets clean.

Another trending option is wood cabinets. It adds to the warm factor without distracting from your other colors. Some classics are grained walnut or white oak, mixed with white.

Not a fan of the earthy tones? Black and white kitchens are coming back in and having a big moment! These colors work with any style!

Kitchen Tile and Backsplash

Time to update that backsplash! 

There are so many options to choose when updating that backsplash that will have your kitchen looking brand new. For starters, you can try glazed tiles. These are similar to the 2015 subway tile, and look beautiful in many kitchens.

Not a fan of showing grout? Try slab backsplash! This is a popular alternative to tiles, where it removes all groutlines and leaves a luxurious look. 

Wanting to go the extra mile? Take your backsplash to the ceiling. Instead of cutting off the tale at the upper cabinets, see if you can take it all the way up the wall. It feels higher end, and can create a focal point with the right color.

Kitchen Countertops

Splurge a little on countertops! 

In 2022, this is the most common splurge item when renovating your kitchen. Our favorite material is still quartz, as white quartz remains the most popular countertop. Quartz countertops are known for their strength and durability. Quartz countertops are perfect for every family!

Marble is the next look that will never leave kitchens. Although beautiful, this material is a softer stone. Not as family friendly, this countertop will be found in high-end homes.

Kitchen Appliances

Time for the next most popular renovation for kitchens – appliances. 

And not just any appliances, we are now changing to smart appliances. These are a huge time saver and you can even get them serviced without a technician. 

Here’s something a little more controversial – white appliances are making a comeback. They used to look dated, but now they are saying cleanliness and beauty.

Panel ready appliances are as attractive as you can get! They will blend in with your cabinets, creating a seamless luxury look to your kitchen.

Kitchen Hardware 

A small change with big results is changing the hardware and metals. 

In 2022, we are mixing metals like never before. All the metals – cabinet handles, sink faucet, and lighting can all be unique metal types. Polished nickel continues to be a favorite, and unlacquered brass is staying. Copper and gold continue to be seen in different finishes, but make sure to avoid the yellow shiny gold tone.
