Some kitchen design elements, like good flow and clean lines, will never go out of style. But adding one or more these chic new trends can take your kitchen to the next level.

1. Multiple cabinet finishes

These contrasting cabinet colors on top and bottom and visual interest and help better define distinct areas of the kitchen. Mixing wood with painted finishes is another way to achieve this contrasting look, while adding a flair of style and warmth.

2. Quartz backsplash

Quartz countertops have been around for a while, but a sharp new trend involves continuing the countertop into a seamless backsplash. This sleek look not only provides durable protection, it also makes for easier cleaning than a grouted tile option.

3. Varying cabinet heights

Using varying heights for your cabinets can help create a sense of spontaneity and whimsy in your kitchen. The look can open up a space by reducing the amount of symmetrical edges and seams and creating more breathing room between the cabinets and the ceiling.
