Embrace the future with the top kitchen design trends of 2023! Warm wood cabinetry takes center stage, complemented by stunning marble backsplashes. Mixed metal finishes add a touch of sophistication, while custom hood designs elevate the overall aesthetic. And don’t forget about the unique ceiling treatments, featuring beams, insets, panels, and shiplap.

When it comes to kitchen styles, the trends are a delightful blend of nostalgia and innovation. European-style kitchens are making a comeback, exuding timeless charm. At the same time, modern spaces are embracing the beauty of natural wood cabinets, bringing a contemporary twist to traditional materials. Get ready to be inspired by the best of both worlds!

In 2023 and beyond, both traditional and contemporary style kitchens will incorporate smart appliances, including ranges with sous-vide functions, Alexa-enabled refrigerators, and smart screens to pull up your favorite recipe or chat with family while you cook.

Faucets and hardware in chic finishes and streamlined silhouettes are quickly becoming the new jewelry of the kitchen.

While open shelving is still in style, kitchen designers are favoring the simple, uncluttered look of one long shelf — perhaps in marble — rather than the stacked wood shelves we’ve seen over the past few years.

This stylish kitchen makeover features a great example of 2023 kitchen designs, with one long marble shelf fitted above a marble backsplash, dark lower cabinets, a European style range, and custom plaster range hood:

Remember, when it comes to designing a kitchen, there really are no rules–other than doing what makes you happy and resonates with your own design style–so use these kitchen ideas for 2023 as a way to see what’s out there and gather new ideas and possibilities for your kitchen.

Although some of the kitchens you’ll see below were designed a few years ago, they’re still on trend, which shows how important it is to plan your kitchen with a long-term, timeless perspective.

Are farmhouse kitchens out for 2023?

While modern farmhouse style is still extremely popular, in 2023 we’ll see this style continue to evolve into a more elevated look, borrowing aspects from European farmhouse kitchens.

This stylish kitchen is a great example of modern farmhouse style in 2023.  Light and airy, incorporating warm wood cabinetry, modern pendant lighting, natural elements, and rattan curved barstools, this European-inspired, modern farmhouse kitchen is both timeless and on trend.
