Kitchen
This kitchen features some of the most popular choices among homeowners renovating their kitchens: white cabinets and countertop, wood floors, gray cabinets (on the island) and multicolored backsplash.Since survey respondents had completed a kitchen project in the previous 12 months, were working on one or planned to start one in the next three months, their responses provide a window on what’s trending in American kitchens now. Read on to find out which colors and materials were most popular.
2. Cool and CasualDesigner: David CoulsonLocation: Shawnigan Lake, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaHomeowners’ request: Remove walls to create a more open concept with affordable, durable materials, in lakeside cottage style. Gray and white: Ikea Grimslöv white Shaker kitchen cabinets. Glass subway tiles in Silver Cloud (gray). The curved-edge retro-feeling laminate countertop, in a design called Tangle Smoke, was chosen to reflect the shimmering water pattern of the lake outside the window. The walls are painted in Gray Cloud and the ceiling and trim are in Chantilly Lace, both by Benjamin Moore. Other special features: A hidden lockable storage cupboard located within the back of the peninsula and covered with painted beadboard paneling allows the homeowners to easily lock away any private items when the cottage is being rented out. LED pot lights. Chrome pendants. Infrared ceiling heating panels.

5. Easy access. With a 2-year-old and a baby on the way, these homeowners wanted a stylish kitchen that was also practical. The cooktop is on the island so the parents can keep an eye on the little ones while cooking. Pullouts on both sides of the cooktop provide space for storing oils on one side and utensils on the other. Hardware: Schaub & Co.
6. End-of-island storage. Having a kitchen island with a bar refrigerator built right into it is a design decision that stands out from the pack. Since this picture was among the most saved images of the year, Houzzers seem to agree. While the fridge here is full of adult beverages, it would also come in handy for juice boxes and other kid-friendly drinks, allowing the little ones to serve themselves.
