When planning your new kitchen, you might not always know how to create a space that perfectly fits your style and needs.  That’s why we’re here to help by showing you 10 design tips, tricks, and trends.

1. Colorful Accents
Make your kitchen pop with colorful accents.  If you want to add a bold touch,
you can use red or blue to include color in an otherwise neutral kitchen.

2. Open Shelving
Open shelving is a great way to add both convenience and a decorative
statement to your kitchen at the same time.  Now you can easily grab
your plates and​ bowls while also showing them off to guests.

3. Outlets
When designing your new kitchen make sure outlets are placed
appropriately.  You want to have access to power near where you
are planning to place your toaster, coffee maker, and appliances.

4. Recycling Bin
Adding a recycling bin along with your garbage bin
makes helping the environment more convenient.

5. Lazy Susan
Putting a lazy susan in a corner cabinet is a great way to
make use of corner cabinet space.  You can use this area to
store ​pots and pans, snacks, or anything else that you want.

6. Under-Cabinet Lights
​Under-cabinet lights add direct lighting to your countertops, so you can
see exactly what you’re doing while preparing and cooking food.  These
​lights are simple to install and help prevent shadows caused by cabinetry.

7. Two-Tone Cabinets
​Two-tone cabinets are right on trend.  You can make the top
cabinets a different color from the bottom cabinets or you can
choose to make the cabinets on your island different from the rest.  
Any way that you decide will add a nice contrast to your new kitchen.

8. Organizers
Organizers are an essential part of every kitchen.  These will help
keep all of your utensils, spices, pots, and pans in order.  Everything
will​ always be in its place and easy to find for your convenience.

9. Stools
Stools are an easy way to get creative and bring a fun element into your
kitchen.  You can go modern, minimalistic, bold; the options are endless.
​Choose stools that best fit your practical needs and style preferences.

10. Open Floor Plan
If you are looking to do a lot of entertaining in your home, you may
want to look into a kitchen with an open floor plan.  This eliminates
the feeling of isolation when working in the kitchen and makes
​bringing dinners from the kitchen to the dining room table easier.
