Kitchen Remodeling Trends - Architectural Details

New and Notable Kitchen Architecture

One of the biggest kitchen remodeling trends is the expansion of conventional kitchens into bigger, more family-friendly spaces. Snack and breakfast bars make kitchens more functional and spacious. Openings and pass-throughs give kitchen and living room areas a greater sense of space without ever increasing square footage.

Ceiling detail is another way to accent and enlarge space without touching the floor. Barrel ceilings involve half arches and half circles, recessed into the ceiling and extending the length of the kitchen, broadening the high space in a kitchen and drawing the eye to interesting detail. Adding beams to kitchen ceilings is an affordable alternative to barrel ceilings, costing about as much as crown moulding. Aged beams give a rustic look to a kitchen without making it country or old-fashioned.

Adding Elegance Through Glass

Another major kitchen remodeling trend is the use of glass in kitchen windows and doorways. More and more homeowners are using old glass doors as entryways to kitchen spaces, elegantly dividing the space without obstructing views from family or living rooms.

Using glass in cabinet doors is another kitchen remodeling trend, and a great way to open up your kitchen space and showcase great dishware all at once. Glass can be used in modern and traditional cabinetry, and is available in stock and custom solutions.

Big, airy spaces and ceilings full of detail are on the forefront of kitchen remodeling trends, and are seen in all styles of kitchens today.
