Blue and green cabinetry, mixed finishes, and an embrace of Pantone's 2018 color of the year, Ultra Violet, are all on trend for kitchens in 2018.
House Beautiful says that deep-colored countertops are going to be big in 2018. Renee Hytry Derrington, global design lead at Formica Group says, "Homeowners were intrigued with slate tiles that came in black, dark green and multi-colored rust tones. We wanted to design a slate option for countertops that had the same natural cleft detail— but combined with the growing interest in dramatic black stones. Basalt Slate is the result, and one of our most popular designs this year.”
Shannon Zapala, co-founder of glassware brand GOVERRE explains, "One of the popular kitchen trends for 2018 is using bold, unexpected colors [...] such as Ultra Violet, Pantone’s color of the year! This dramatic color exudes a feeling of luxury and elegance."
