Color is the new 2020 trend, whether as an accent or throughout the kitchen. Paint the island a color or store col- orful pottery in glass front cabinetry. Open shelving is about to change your life. Open shelves allow you to showcase your beautiful kitchen. The ability to see through your storage also means every- thing is easy to find. Just don’t forget to clean your items often since they will be open to the elements. Double islands expand a kitchens function. To maintain a traffic flow, double islands are an integral fea- ture. They are a convenient way to divide the area between meal preparation and serving or gathering. When it comes to countertops, quartz is quickly becoming an af- fordable and low maintenance alternative to our beloved marble. Today’s kitchens boast roomy and beautiful pantries with shelving a plenty for your cereal and collectables. Feel free to mix it up featuring grey and white. You may instead consider a beautiful color to liven up your range. The year 2020 is not about being matchy-matchy and that goes double for your metals. Combine a nice nick- el for knobs and a cool brass or matte white for your faucet. You can use a whole different metal for lighting fixtures. Hardware and metal finishes continue to push the enve- lope – brass, nickel, and matte black. Don’t forget the fifth wall, the kitchen ceiling. Add a fun hit of color, wallpaper. Or wood to add dramatic flair to you space. 850BuildingGroup.com 33
