Kitchen Design Trends for 2014
Each year, the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) surveys its members to identify the latest design and specification trends in kitchen and bath design.
This year, more than 300 NKBA member-designers participated in the 2014 NKBA Design Trends Survey, reporting the materials, product types, and styles that they specified in their kitchen and bath designs over the final three months of 2013.
While broad trends won’t be evident in every local market, the following are the top overall trends that emerged for kitchens across the United States and Canada.
