Kitchen Remodel Trends in Utah: 2022

Here are the features that contractors are installing in the local area right now.

Large, Colored Islands With Lots of Storage

Islands have been a hot trend as of late, and it is very easy to explain why. An island in the middle of the kitchen provides an extra counter top for cleaning as well as entertaining. A bigger island can also provide more storage for the kitchen if cupboard space is low. The design of the island can give the kitchen more dimension and utility, and it also makes the cooking space a little more exciting. The colored cabinets on the island also supply an extra splash of color against the other colors of the kitchen. Our expert contractors all across Utah have a lot of experience installing these islands in remodels, and it makes a huge difference.

Colored Metal Hardware

Colored hardware is officially back, specifically in kitchens! From gold to silver to honey bronze, they are hot! Colored hardware made their first appearance in the late Victorian period (1880’s-1900’s), made its comeback in honey bronze in 2018, and has just skyrocketed in popularity since. Colored hardware creates a beautiful contrast to the cabinets around your kitchen; especially if you stick to one color in the entire kitchen with the bold colored hardware making the kitchen stand out.We recommend trying the comeback of the elegant Victorian hardware if you are looking for a splash of color for your kitchen, that is mostly all of what we are installing now across the whole state.

The Farmhouse Sink

Farmhouse Sinks add a beautiful touch to a kitchen. With an exposed side, they add an elegant, smooth look that contrasts the surrounding cabinets. They come in a variety of colors, but white is most popular right now. It all comes down to personal preference, but we honestly have loved how the farmhouse sinks at our kitchen remodel projects have turned out.
