Use The Latest Design Trends To Create a Dream Kitchen
Designing a dream kitchen that incorporates the latest design trends requires a thoughtful approach and attention to detail. Understanding the latest trends can be inspirational. Interior design magazines, websites, social medial platforms such as Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram are resources that many homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA use to learn about trends that help them to define their individual style and how they want their new dream kitchen to look, feel and function.
Our showroom designers have other sources to keep their fingers on the pulse of the latest kitchen and bath trends. One source is the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s annual Kitchen Design Trends report that highlights the anticipated trends that will most influence kitchen design in the next three years. The report features emerging product and design categories and shifts in products, color, materials and space layout.
