6 Unbelievable Kitchen Trends That Are Steaming up in 2017

Kitchen design is as prone to the whims of fashion as just about anything else, and while some of this is brought about by sheer pragmatism, much of it is born out of the creativity of designers. For Detroit residents looking for kitchen remodeling ideas, these are going to be some of the hottest as we move into 2018.

#1. White Kitchens Remain Popular but

For the last decade or so Pinterest has blown up with image after image of white kitchens. While white is warm, neutral, and of course, bright, too much white can make you feel like you’re in a blank space. In 2017, white kitchens are now being augmented with darker floors, often made of natural wood or veneer, which create a great contrast to the brightness and cozies up the room a bit.

#2. Gray Is Becoming Increasingly Popular

White is far and away still the most popular color, but gray is rising through the ranks thanks to its timeless quality, and its ability to act as a solid background against other brighter colors. It’s also becoming popular to mix gray with other colors like green, to create a similar feel for those who prefer a little color in their kitchen.Black and white as a color palette is also gaining steam in today’s kitchens.

#3. Tile, Glass, Brick, and Reclaimed Wood

As far as backsplashes go, each of these are becoming more and more popular. For a rustic art-deco feel, brick and reclaimed wood are extremely popular as a backsplash, but for those who want to go a bit fancier, glass or tile that has been laid out like brick is also quite popular.

#4. Pecky Cypress

Memorize this term because it’s going to be a major player in 2017 heading into 2018. Pecky cypress is basically Cyprus that had a fungal infection. Don’t be alarmed, however, because this has only made the wood more desirable. In appearance, pecky cypress has long streaks burrowed into the graining that gives it very natural look. It works great for islands and cabinets.

#5. Black Appliances

If your kitchen is getting a little bright for your tastes, one way to throw in some contrast is to check out a whole new line of black appliances that are becoming more and more popular as the white kitchen fad settles in. If you never bought in, they’ll also look great with gray.

#6. Colored Sinks

One of the great things about having your kitchen mostly white is that you can play with color in other ways. One of the more popular ways is brightly hued sinks. It’s our opinion that 2018 will have a lot more brightly hued sinks than 2017 did.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
