Here's how families will be living in the next decade, as reflected in this kitchen of the future. Convenience is a major influence in design of the kitchen of 2010. One area relates visually to the adjacent, and lots of soft, curving lines add up to a total impression of harmony and intimacy. Nature, the outdoors, is brought in through skylights, French doors and windows. Designers see a trend toward extending home entertaining to an adjoining deck or other outdoor space.
Colors are soft, and pretty, to go with the new living room that is tomorrow's kitchen.
Butter yellow appears to be the new neutral. Colors in this kitchen vary from butter yellow cabinets to citrus green glass and the deep sea blue island top for impact. Floors are soft and light-colored. The designer juxtaposed hardwood, laminate and tile flooring in the floors, defining individual spaces with each material. Using more than one color cabinetry continues to be a trend.
