Looking to redecorate your kitchen in 2018? You have probably spent your last weeks’ researching kitchen trends and viewing kitchen designs on the Internet. Before you finalise your new kitchen plan, we recommend you to give this redecoration a careful thought if you want it to last for years to come. It is easy to be lured by the latest fashion and choose a kitchen style or elements that will become out-dated in a couple of years. To avoid that, consider the following kitchen trends that are here to stay:

You will probably want to hide your appliances in your kitchen cabinets for the same reason that you will choose a single-level island: creating cleaner, uninterrupted lines for your kitchen design. Appliances should match your kitchen style as much as possible or not even be noticeable.
