For 2014, there is a variety of kitchen renovations ideas, styles and trends for renovating your Greater Vancouver home, so you are sure to find something you like that’s also in style. Whether you are looking for a quick update or a complete overhaul with a new design, you will definitely love these ideas.

KITCHEN DESIGN IDEAS FOR 2014

Hideaway Appliances

Those who’ve their finger near the pulse of stylish trends, most probably know that stainless-steel appliances and devices are the new ‘must’. However, what one may not know is that much more unusual gadgets are going to be the main topic of 2014 design trends. A significant 2014 trend is hidden devices. This goes one step beyond the cabinet materials camouflage and means a greater focus on small or peculiar shaped appliances, like mini-fridges, and other stream-lined appliances (from wine-coolers to trash compactors) that will offer more counter-top space and keep your kitchen area at a smooth waist-high level, and so are ideal for installing right into a kitchen isle.

Featuring Lighting

While lighting in a kitchen area was previously a bit of a second thought, well-planned lighting is holding its own as a unique design element. With an open plan and large kitchens becoming a fashion, it is possible to set up an attractive and warm space that brings practical aspects of space into consideration. Now, tasks and lighting are both important in the cooking area. LED-lights are also trending for 2014, so why wouldn’t you incorporate soft, kick-board and under-the-cabinet LED lighting into your design?

Backsplashes

Backsplashes, especially behind the hob, are turning out to be a very popular trend for 2014. The back-coated glass is fantastic for putting in a splash of color to a contemporary kitchen, and it’ll reflect gentle, LED lights, setting up a bit of ambiance. The design of a single glass-sheet can also be swapped out by glass mosaic tiles for an easy, quick, and low-cost DIY-project that will renew your kitchen area for the Newyear. Some other common choices include using sintered porcelain or quartz cladding, either masking the whole wall section between the upper and lower cabinets or simply at the rear of the hob.

Go Eco-Friendly

Likewise, the ‘Green Movement’ is not going anywhere, and 2014 trends echo this in nearly every way. Primary materials and products will be even more eco-friendly (such as bamboo floors), and even appliances will need to have an ‘EnergyStar’ rating or additional energy-efficient benefits. The more substantial the remodeling, the more essential it’s that it gets done properly because it will save on the start-up (by means of government subsidies) as well as in the future (as lower energy bills).

Super Classy Sinks

Often unnoticed but never to be ignored, your sink will be a center point for the 2014 trends, particularly if you’re looking to do smaller face-lift rather than a total upgrade. Continually, popular stainless-steel sinks are going to find their zenith once again in 2014 for their style, long-lasting structure, and low maintenance. However, if you’re interested in something a bit more conventional and less modern, consider stone composite sinks, copper sinks or even clay farmhouse sinks that will enhance the eco-friendliness of your kitchen and provide a non-porous, smooth sink that will not show damage.
