Top kitchen and bath remodeling trends in 2009

The Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference (K/BIS) took place last week in Atlanta. See some of the latest kitchen and bath remodeling trends from the show below…

Growing Appreciation of Green Products -
No category is growing faster than green products. Many companies never had ecofriendly products before, but today these same companies are going as far as having new products green certified. Green products and materials are costing less and are more stylish. With a growing environmental consciousness among consumers, there is particular attention being paid to products that save energy and conserve water.

Introduction of a Middle Ground —
Affordable StylePreviously, consumers only had the choice between very high-end, expensive products or standard products that sacrificed style. Today we are seeing a middle ground. High-end products have been scaled down and standard products have taken a stylish leap forward, providing consumers with more options and more incentives to remodel.

Pop Colors are all the Rage
If consumers are down about the economy, you’d never know it walking into their homes. We’re seeing more bright colors in everything from appliances to cabinets. Adding color has become an easy and fun way to customize the space.

More Visual Blending Between Kitchen & Living Spaces
The distinction between living areas and kitchen spaces is becoming more blurred every day. We’re seeing more furniture-style pieces, such armoires in the kitchen, and concealed appliances to mask the cold stainless-steel ambiance of the room. This is resulting in larger, open living spaces where family and friends can gather comfortably.

Automation/Technology Offers a Helping Hand
It seems that today, everyone is busy and stretched thin. It’s no surprise that products with advanced technology that offer time savings and convenience is a hit this year. Consumers can’t seem to get enough of appliances with sensors or ovens that practically cook on their own.

Storage Accessories Getting the Attention They Deserve
With kitchen and bath space often limited, storage accessories are playing a greater role in helping to maximize the space. With kitchens now a primary gathering spot, there is a growing trend to make the inside of storage spaces look as good as the outside. It’s a great way to put the finishing touches on a room.
