Top kitchen designs 2023


Color, Countertop and Tile Ideas

When designing your dream kitchen, it's important to balance timeless features with playful colors, patterns and textures that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not want to remodel your kitchen each and every year, but that doesn't mean there aren't creative ways to keep your space feeling fresh and modern. We spoke with interior designers and kitchen experts who shared their top kitchen trends for 2023, touching on everything from cabinet colors and kitchen lighting ideas to design styles they're loving.

At this point, 2023 is just around the corner and these design experts are looking ahead at trends and styles that will define the new year. For kitchen countertops, they're seeing both natural and expressive stones. For paint colors, the pros are loving dusty greens and blues, as well as soft hues like terracotta and natural browns. But, don't worry: bold patterns are not out. As you scroll, you'll notice a surge of gold hardware — but matte black and brass are sticking around as well.

Swap out your backsplash tile (dare we suggest something vibrant), add a fresh coat of paint to your kitchen island or layer in handmade artisan details — all of which can be completed in a few hours. As much as we love a hot trend, we'll leave you with this message from interior designer Kate Lester: "Focus more on what the space needs and less on what is 'trending.' Doing what’s best for your space never goes out of style!"

Painted Islands

Lauren Pressey

"The all-white kitchen may be out, but what about homeowners who want to update their existing space without a gut job? One of the best ways to inject color into the kitchen is to paint the island base. It instantly activates a sterile-looking space and doesn’t require construction." — Mary Beth Christopher, MBC Interior Design

2

Mixed Metals

Gail Owens

"We’re going to see a lot more blending of different finishes in the kitchen: Brass, bronze, stainless, nickel and more. By mixing finishes, you get a visually rich, incredibly inviting look." — Tiffani Baumgart, interior designer

3

Creative Cabinetry

Virtually Here Studios

"For me, one of the keys to great design is when a client and a designer have the trust to take a risk together and choose a kitchen cabinet color or patterned tile that is bold and unexpected. I believe in 2023, we are going to see even more bold cabinet color choices, mixed with other interesting and unique finishes." — Kirsten Blazek, A1000XBetter

4

Butcher-Block Islands

Jill Weller

"A butcher-block island is not only stylish, but incredibly functional and durable. We love using walnut as the primary material for a butcher-block island, as it really warms the space. For added functionality, use a butcher-block island that has a mini fridge for extra storage space and plenty of cabinets where you can keep larger appliances hidden. " — Alice Arterberry, Arterberry Cooke

5

Lower Kitchen Drawers

Aaron Dougherty Photography

"Kitchens with loads of lower drawers, instead of cabinets, are on the rise. Drawers glide out easily, and can store so much. Bending down, getting on your knees and holding a flashlight is no longer a necessity. Plus, extra large cabinet hardware is the icing on the cake in any kitchen — don't skimp or skip on this must-have." — Ruthie Staalsen, interior designer

Brights Mixed With Woods

MEGHAN BOB

"There will be more unexpected hues for cabinetry. We have seen a lot of saturated, bright colors in 2022, and I believe we will still see color but lighter and chalkier shades and definitely mixed with woods." — Caren Rideau, founder of The Kitchen Design Group

7

Marble Slab Backsplashes

Mandy Harris

"Subway tile backsplashes are starting to look dated, and we are seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, a marble backsplash and countertop sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement." — Danny Spears, Captex Construction

8

Wood Cabinetry

Sarah Szwajkos

"Keep it current by mixing wood and painted cabinets, and embrace natural wood grain and tone rather than selecting glossy varnish and heavy stain. I love an island in wood with the perimeter cabinetry painted, or a wooden hutch-style upper cabinet that rests on the counters." — Sarah Fischer, Sarah and Sons Interiors

9

Blue and Green Kitchens

Ryan Garvin

"Shades of blues with more green undertones are a refreshing change. It immediately creates a wow factor, adds interest and provides contrast. Deep hues always give a classic feel that never feels overly trendy. " — Kate Lester, interior designer

10

Butler's Pantries

Dylan Riley Foto

"A trend I love is concealing a butler’s pantry that is an entire room of its own. One hidden behind custom cabinetry with a surprise entrance is especially fun when you have a large family or host large gatherings — children as well as adults delight in its hidden treasures." — Nikki Lugh, interior designer

11

Wallpaper Backsplashes

Mackenzie Merrill

"I love to add print and texture to a kitchen to bring a bit of interest and life into the space. Doing it with patterned wallpaper behind an open wall shelving like this is low-risk but high impact." — Amy Leferink, principal designer at Interior Impressions

12

Swaths of Stone

"While stone in kitchen spaces is a long-standing tradition, more and more kitchens are making a point of featuring natural stone as a central component of beauty. Dramatic stones used widely throughout the kitchen space and marble waterfall islands that highlight the beauty of the material are becoming increasingly popular design choices." — Sarah Barnard, interior designer

13

Designated Bar Areas

Gavin Cater

"Painting the bar area in a bold color, like hunter green, is a great way to add a pop of color to a neutral kitchen and create a designated bar area in an open-concept space. We’re seeing a lot of earthy tones in the kitchen for 2023. Hunter green beautifully pairs with classic furnishings, natural accents and clean lines." — Barrett Cooke, Arterberry Cooke

14

Sustainable Materials

Reform

"We will see a movement toward more timeless, classic designs and honest, natural and durable materials like wood, stone and steel that can stand the test of time. The sourcing and recyclability of materials will also be taken into account to a greater extent.” — Jeppe Christensen, founder and CEO of Reform

15

Furniture-Style Cabinets

James Stanley

"One very interesting trend going into 2023 is giving your kitchen cabinets a more furniture feel. This can be accomplished easily by adding actual furniture pieces, like using a farmhouse table or vintage desk as a fabulous center island. To continue that feeling in your cabinets, use furniture-style legs in the toe-kick areas." — James Stanley, architectural designer

16

Colorful Backsplashes

Aaron Dougherty Photography

"People are getting really bold with their backsplashes. White kitchens are still trending, but a bolder backsplash is perfect to add that pop of pattern or color, creating a playfulness to your home. " — Ruthie Staalsen, interior designer

17

Statement Lighting

Amy Bartlam

"In the past, people deferred more toward recessed lighting. Now, people are becoming more adventurous with their lighting choices and taking advantage of them as a statement design element in a room. — Kate Lester, interior designer

18

Soft, Natural Materials

Vanessa Mello

"I describe it as 'California Modernism,' using natural materials in warm neutral hues like light stained oak, honed limestone, painted steel and vegan leather. The concept of softness continues with the layering of unglazed terracotta vases and natural wood accessories." — Sabra Ballon, founder of ballonStudio

19

Bold Choices

Reform

“We expect to see a trend toward a more brave mix of different styles. We will see strong colors, expressive stones — such as calacatta viola marble — and untraditional combinations of different materials.” — Jeppe Christensen, founder and CEO of Reform

20

Hidden Electrical Outlets

Joe Borress

"Proper placement of electrical outlets in a kitchen is an important and often-overlooked trend. Installing power outlets under the cabinets, rather than in the backsplash, reduces cord clutter behind small appliances and gives it an unexpected clean look." — Joe Borress, founder of Tri Star Electric & Automation

21

Handmade Artisan Details

"Kitchen spaces are increasingly becoming a space to showcase artistry and handmade details. Handmade tiles, decorative handles and thoughtfully crafted pottery are all components likely to be highlighted in 2023. These details can add comfort and beauty to a space where many spend a great deal of time." — Sarah Barnard

22

Elevated Wet Bars

Mary Pat Collins

"Industrial open-shelf bars implement this cool factor and breaks up all the wood surfaces in the space while giving you a chance to lighten up the cabinets and add another material and element. Why settle for a basic bar when you can make it unique and special?" — Amy Peltier, interior designer

1. Let There Be LIGHT

Light-filled kitchen trends of 2023 by Decorilla designer, Elizabeth L.

All kitchen trends of 2023 are moving toward lighter and brighter spaces. So, whatever the design or final look, the room will be full of sunlight. That said, maximizing light has been a popular kitchen trend for a while. However, huge windows, light hues, and reflective matte materials will boost the glow even more in the coming years.

2. Think Kitchen Hood

Whether minimalist or traditional, a cooker hood makes a statement. These designs promise fun and creative ways to highlight the kitchen hood. But in the same way, kitchen remodel ideas for 2023 also lean towards minimal and integrated styles. These seem invisible, especially in forward-thinking traditional and online kitchen designs.

3. Family Focus 

2023 kitchen trends by Decorilla designer, Wanda P.

Comfy, cozy spaces with enough seating for family take precedence in residential designs. However, balancing comfort and style is vital to the family-friendly spaces of the future. Moreover, the four-pawed family members also get a spot. Improved kitchen islands come with neatly built-in pet-feeding stations. These are great as a fitting to a kitchen island or in a side cabinet.

4. Mini High-End

Short-term rentals, especially for quick getaways, are getting a luxe makeover. Creating a small bespoke interior increases the appeal of your vacation rental, without a doubt. But it also makes sticking to a kitchen remodel guide easy. A corner of cabinets topped off with statement finishes are all you need for a small-scale luxe kitchen. 

5. Ecocentric Design

Top eco kitchen trends of 2023 by Decorilla designer, Anna Y.

Expect to see an increase in organic, eco-friendly green design. Plastic, unless recycled, is out, and natural, sustainably sourced materials are in. With a heightened awareness of the environmental impact of design, the green movement is sure to stay. To follow suit, opt for ethically sourced and eco-friendly materials.  

Enriching Kitchen Remodel Ideas 2023

The kitchen makes a decisive impact on a home’s buyability. In fact, potential buyers might not consider a house if they dislike the kitchen. Beyond increasing your property’s resale value, an updated interior will also be more enjoyable during its daily use.  

6. Diversify Materials

Two-tone wood kitchens are gaining popularity, but it’s more than contrast that makes it appealing. Kitchen remodel ideas for 2023 predict an increase in multi-material kitchens. This means wood, stone, and ceramics will sit alongside new and upcoming mediums. The result will certainly be visually and texturally pleasing. 

7. Space-Saving Cupboard Kitchen 

In 2023, kitchen trends are making the most of compact interiors. Highly populated metropolises are always in need of space-saving and innovative designs. As a result, stowaway kitchens have become popular in tight spaces. This means a room can have more than one function.

A wood shutter, like in the room above, can cover a bed during the day and slide over to cover the kitchen at night. These designs are so sleek and minimal that they fit into a standard built-in cupboard. So, if you want to renovate, consider one of the up-and-coming space-smart alternatives.

8. Vintage Revival  

Cottage-inspired kitchen remodel ideas for 2023 by Decorilla designer, Liana S.

Make the most of what you have. Gut renovations are not necessarily key to your kitchen revamp in the next few years. Some styles, like cottage design, are making a comeback, which means you can simply modernize other details. With this in mind, lighting and cabinets always have a great potential to update an interior.  

9. Use an Ex-Show Kitchen

Buying a second-hand kitchen is becoming possible thanks to ex-showroom designs. You can purchase a complete kitchen that is at the forefront of what’s trending. In this way, you’ll keep costs low as well as reuse products. It’s a financially-wise and environmentally friendly option.

Grounding Kitchen Countertop Trends 2023

Non-toxic surfaces are imperative to a healthy kitchen environment. Countertops range from solid natural stone, marble, wood, and metals. Many of these options look great next to the top kitchen hardware trends of 2023.   

10. Full of Character

Kitchen design and countertop trends for 2023 allow more personalization than ever. If it’s not cabinets or wall color, surfaces can add character to the interior. Although we have new options every year, it looks like the design world is moving to neutral, calming designs with a pop of interest here and there. A deeply veined countertop could be just the thing your space needs in 2023.

11. Jewelry-Box Terrazzo

Terrazzo adds a unique look to interiors. They’re available in tile format, big-scale for floors, backsplashes, and countertops. It can take on exactly the look you want while reusing chips of other building materials, like glass and marble.

For this reason, it’s an eco-friendly choice and becoming more popular as our green awareness improves. Plus, its versatility will match any kitchen cabinet color trends of 2023 and beyond.

12. New Steel

Minimal yet welcoming stainless-steel kitchen cabinets make some of the most attractive trends of 2023. Moreover, it’s not only the counter but the entire kitchen that can get a full-metal treatment. Yet, they come with a twist. Brushed, mirrored, laser-printed, and matte finishes will give more variety and suit a range of interior styles.

Kitchen Paint Colors Splash into 2023

Even the smallest kitchen remodel can benefit from paint colors for 2023. Besides, a fresh coat of color can change the complete feel of the interior. It can turn a bland space into one that energizes and inspires.  

13. Matte Black Kitchen 

Black kitchen paint colors hot in 2023 by Decorilla designer, Shasta P.

Black is more than a deep contrasting base or accent shade. With a diversity of finishes and materials in the darkest hue, you can create a layered interior using only black. That said, black still stands out most set against a contrasting color. Plus, kitchen paint colors in 2023 will have dozens of attractive black tints. They could also make a blissful neutral picture when mixed with woody tones.

14. Olive Green Kitchen

A gentle olive hue will be a delightful alternative for interior lovers who prefer more neutral green in their homes. As one of the earthy kitchen paint colors of 2023, it leans to the warmer spectrum while pairing exceptionally well with white or black. That said, a cool combo with gray or a colorful mix with terracotta could make an unforgettable space. 

15. Warming Vanilla

Milky latte or spiced vanilla hues match whereto design is moving – natural and uncomplicated spaces. They’re sure to give an interior a refreshing yet warming glow. Plus, the neutral tone is great for making the most of kitchen backsplash trends in 2023.

Keep the design simple and splash out with a contrasting or bright color next to the stovetop. It won’t only pack a small but powerful punch, but also allow an easy change when the time comes for an update.

16. Art Magnified

Artwork dominates kitchen decor ideas in 2023 by Decorilla designer, Drew F.

Few but bold decorative elements are the secret ingredients of future kitchens. Expect oversize artwork or a feature sculpture to steal the show in these interiors soon. Art isn’t just easy to incorporate with kitchen remodel ideas, it also works well with the top cabinet color trends for 2023. 

17. Something Quirky

Homes are set on regaining a sense of fun. Likewise, the kitchen gets a playful touch. This could come in the form of a set of spritely bonsai trees, sculptures that immortalize a humble toy dinosaur, or a large (but pretty) rock. Whatever puts a smile on your face can have a spot in the kitchen – even a whacky sink befitting the trend of 2023 will do!

18. Backsplash Talks 

Kitchen decor and backsplash trends 2023 by Decorilla designer, Samantha S.

Designer kitchen backsplash trends make a comeback in 2023. The renewed focus includes more Art Deco style designs as well as heat and moisture-resistant wallpaper. The latter also opens a modish world to tenants or those who want to try something new before committing to a renovation.

If wallpaper is for you, be sure to seal it with an extra layer of protection. Non-toxic water-based matte varnish will do the job. 

19. A Bit of Bling

Shimmering kitchen décor ideas for 2023 by Decorilla designer, Jessica D.

If not wood, then metallics should add warmth to an interior. Copper, bronze, and gold are among the favorites for décor finishes in the coming years. Shimmery vases, bowls, light shades, and hardware can spice up your design. The hue will certainly add a cozy-hug feeling, especially in colder spaces full of marble. Moreover, metallics go well with kitchen cabinet color trends for 2023.

1. Single space

Design: Natalia Vasilyeva

You won’t surprise anyone with a combined kitchen-living room - a fashion trend has long passed into the category of classics. The concept of a single space within which you can cook, communicate with family or friends, work and relax is firmly established both in the minds of people and in the layouts of new apartments. More and more euro-twos and euro-threes are appearing - this is housing designed according to European canons, where the bedrooms are made small and isolated, and up to 50% of the area is allocated for a spacious kitchen-living room, where all life is in full swing.

What is important to consider when decorating such a space?
