Bring down those walls, ‘coz open layout is here to stay! The lack of space and the need to move around without any obstruction has led to the birth of the open layout kitchen trend. Open kitchens encourage conversation and entertainment without a hassle.
2. Induction Cooktops
There is no doubt that induction cook-tops are fast, safe, and aesthetically pleasing as compared to the conventional cook-tops.

3. Statement Ceiling Treatments
When it comes to decorating the kitchen, most of us don’t realize the potential of ceilings. In your next renovation project, don’t forget to add some drama to your kitchen ceiling. This will not just work as a decor element, but also create the illusion of height.
4. Built-in Appliances
Are you tired of the appliances sticking out like eyesores? Then try out clever built-ins. The built-ins will enable you to hide away the appliance, lending a clean look to your kitchen.
5. Smart Lighting Solutions
Because of consistently evolving technology, LED lighting has lost its cold and boring look and continues to be applied in inventive ways. Use LEDs to light up a toe-kick, brighten up an island, or to light up the workspace underneath cabinetry. These new-age lights are more effective and longer-lasting than fluorescent bulbs.
6. Open Shelving
Open shelving is increasingly becoming mainstream with homeowners who are ready to create an impression in their kitchen by showcasing beautiful accessories, fancy crockery items, and artifacts on the shelves. Since open shelving allows you to be creative, you can also include plants like succulents and hanging Ivy, to add a green touch to your kitchen.
7. Quartz Countertops
