TALK TO AN EXPERT Trending Now So analyzing current trends is difficult to do, unless you regularly keep up on the design industry. Luckily, The National Kitchen and Bath Association is one of the leading sources in the industry for tracking current design trends. We’ve found that traditional kitchen designs are not as popular as they once were. In fact, “transitional design” is the new trend at the moment. Never heard of it? Transitional design is the term used to describe the hybrid of both traditional and contemporary design elements. NKBA described it as, “typified by lines that are simpler than traditional, but a bit more elaborate than contemporary in order to create a modern classic look.” Lighting also affects the designs. LED lighting is currently the number one ranking choice for households due to new energy efficient trends. Choosing the right look for your home is important, so let us know how we can help. We have a Denver-area showroom available so you can look at all of our stock in person. Don’t know which species is best for your home? You’ve done your homework, and are still racking your brain and mulling over all of the options? We have some suggestions to help you pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for.
