Confluence Kitchen & Bath • December 8, 2022

When homeowners in Boulder, CO make the decision to create a dream kitchen, they want to ensure that design and the products selected can survive the test of time. While certain trends are hot right now such as brightly patterned backsplashes and green toned stone, they may not be so popular 10 years from now. Some of us can remember avocado-colored refrigerators. What features, materials, patterns, and design elements can withstand the test of time? 

White will always be right. In fact, more than 50% of new kitchen remodels for homeowners in Boulder, CO opt for a white color palette. White will never go out of style, nor will wood cabinets and finishes. We have seen a resurgence among homeowners in Boulder, CO gravitating to natural wood cabinetry and finishes. Wood adds a luxurious element to any kitchen and provides a soothing palette and calming vibe. 

Another reason we believe that wood cabinets and finishes will withstand the test of time is the ability that wood provides for homeowners in Boulder, CO to make distinct and personal design statements.

The multifunctional roles of today’s kitchens as office spaces, meeting spaces, cafes, and classrooms in addition to the place where meals are prepared, cooked, and eaten is expected to continue far into the future.
