Hottest new Kitchen and Bath Trends

By Amanda Gates, Gates Interior Design

Many of the trends I captured last year are quickly rising to the top and this show solidifies that movement. In addition to seeing things like gold finishes, quartz counters and color cabinetry many new trends that were just scratching the surface last year are now in full swing. Are you ready to embrace some of the hottest trends? Ok maybe you think you’re not a “trend person.” But even if you’re not quite there, you can expect to see these trends rise to the top in 2019 and 2020. So hold onto your Cheerios because some of these trends are so strong that if you miss a step, you’ll instantly date your house by five years maybe ten!

So if you think you’re not a trend person, trust me when I say, if you’re getting ready to build a new home or remodel be sure to check out this post and add these top 9 things to your list! If you’re too lazy to read it all, this kitchen featured in Lonny Magazine pretty much sums up the perfect kitchen for 2019

1) Only Special Sinks Apply, Especially Shiny Metallics!

Bigger than ever are sinks in bright metallics, hammered finishes, intricate details and gold! Yep. In my world this has been a strong trend for a couple of years but when sink manufacturers like Kohler, Kallista Plumbing and Thompon Traders make options like these, you can see that this trend is full speed ahead.

2) Stainless appliances are out!

Thinking about new appliances in stainless? Well just keep scrolling. Stainless is dead. Sure you’ll still be able to buy it, (and probably at a great price) but you’ll date your house instantly by a decade. Want to be ahead of the curve? Go with one of these kick ass finishes below. Gone are the days of all matching appliances in one boring color. Now it’s all about high style, in rich hues, and everything fancy. These finishes instantly take your kitchen up a notch, kaboom!

3) Fancy, expensive, bright colored stoves!

This has been one of those quiet trends that designers reserved for its high end clients. Because of the high price points, brands like La Cornue (which will set you back $15K -$30K) was a fancy, colorful option that most couldn’t afford. While most of these will still set you back a pretty penny, this is a solid trend that’s not going away. High style cook tops, hoods, stoves and ovens in the brightest of brights are the hottest ticket in town!
