“Kitchen design is looking very exciting for 2013 as several design philosophies are converging and mixing, resulting in kitchens that are highly personal.” Serra adds “With the economy still trudging along without a spring in its step, homeowners want to buy smart for longevity which translates to neutral finishes for big ticket items such as cabinetry, countertops and flooring. Clean, modern styles with warm touches continue their popularity. I do detect a new interpretation of country style which includes the appreciation of nature and natural textures and finishes juxtaposed with more simple cabinet designs. Appliances with gourmet cooking features are important; likewise, interest in induction cooktops is surging.”

Serra still sees a big “interest in open floor plans and the social kitchen, built-in and concealed appliances such as BLANCO’s Crystalline sink and flush, unframed cooktops are becoming popular.” She informs that there is a growing  nterest in design sustainability and healthy cooking, which factors into the consumer’s purchasing decisions more than they ever have in the past. Serra sees a renewed interest in “faux materials with a surprisingly real look due to technological advancements such as ceramic ‘wood look’ tile and ‘natural stone look’ laminates enjoy revived interest.”
