Style Reports
Friday, January 29, 2010
The
NKBA conducted a survey of members who designed residential kitchens or
bathrooms during the last quarter of 2009 to determine style trends in the
market.
The
survey confirmed some already apparent design trends currently in the
marketplace, but also uncovered others that may indicate a shift in the
direction styles could take in 2010.
Styles
& Color;
Traditional
styling will continue to be prevalent in design in 2010, with more than three
quarters of designers reporting it one of the most popular styles in the last
quarter on 2009.
Contemporary
also remains a strong trend with more than half of the NKBA kitchen designers
incorporating it into one or more of their recent designs.
One
trend that makes us sit up and take notice, however, is the Shaker style that
is seeing a strong resurgence,
some think because it is a middle ground between
the traditional styling we are accustomed to and contemporary styling that can
feel a little cold to some.
