Farmhouse style has been a popular choice for kitchens for years, but we're starting to move away from the traditional farmhouse for a more contemporary feel with all the rustic flare.

We will always love a good white kitchen. But I'll be honest, as painful as it is, the white kitchen has began to bore me and I crave a statement like this green cabinetry provides.
3. Open Cabinetry
Upper cabinetry seems to be a thing of the past this year. Open cabinetry is a great way to showcase some of you favourite dinnerware and décor. Its also a great choice for people who want a more minimalistic looking kitchen.
4. Statement Rugs

We live in an age where tech is constantly evolving to make our lives simpler. Touch less fixtures such as taps offer more than just convenience though, it can be a safe addition to your kitchen when it comes to cooking foods that are associated with possible bacteria risks, like chicken.
6. The Black Finish
Since the beginning of 2016, trend forecasters have been predicting black appliances to become hot in kitchens. Black appliances are and excellent way to add a little extra interest and drama to your design.
7. Dark Surfaces
As we discussed, the white kitchen is on its way down, not only in cabinetry, but in our surfaces as well. And even if your not ready to let go of your white cabinets, that's perfectly understandable, we'll except the addition of a warmer, dark counter as a start.
8. Open Island Storage
If your already swapping your cabinetry for open shelving, why not match your island? Maybe show of your dinner wear or those cook books you rarely use? Or if your a baker, you could store some over ingredients in cute jars, or if your buy in bulk you could create a pull out bin system.
9. The Shaker Kitchen

Shaker style made its debut in North America in the 1770's and remained a popular kitchen choice for centuries. This simple clean line staple is making its comeback in 2018, are you ready?
10. Multiple Island Pendants
Because sometimes one isn't enough. We support you in your decision for more, the only tip we have is every collection, no matter what it is, looks better in an odd number. Oh and we can't complain about designer Charlie Coull's choice of pendants either, Just saying.
