2023's BIGGEST KITCHEN TRENDS 

Cozy kitchens have more appeal to me than do sleek kitchens. It truly is the heart of the home and the place where families share and create.

Oh my gosh, dust is my NEMESIS! I so agree about closed shelving with maybe some glass panels. I even rotate (and have let go of) the amount of decor I display, because the dust struggle is REAL and life is too short! LOL😁

I’m so glad I kept my brown hardwoods instead of replacing them with a gray LVP!

Small upgrades can make a big difference. We updated the lighting and appliances in our kitchen. People thought we painted the walls and had done a ton of work.

Valentina!!! The Chanel-esque cropped jacket paired with the loose pleat pants is gorgeous, you’ve never looked so chic! You wearing this outfit needs to be your updated profile pic on every public platform. Love it ♥️

Kitchen warming up-YES, mixed metals-YES, wood cabinetry-YES, No to open shelving or glass front cabinets for me, I never wanted that just for the simple fact of things are out, and you have to dust more. I have never been a trend follower, but I do like some of these as to me, they are more classic and stand the test of time. We don't have handles on our wood cabinets now and it's driving me nuts so may add those in our kitchen. You really packed the info into this one V! Thank you!

Hello Valentina! Thanks again for your great content! I've always loved wood kitchens. They're very rich looking. And no open shelving and handles for me. A marble island and backsplash is definitely also my choice, including hiding the hood.

Creamy cabinets , quartzite countertops with veins of copper green and grey , warm and cozy but clean lined , it’s my preference for myself .

I upgraded my 1950s kitchen a few years ago and chose glass front cabinets for my top cabinets that sit on either side of the window and all the rest are closed. So for the glass front cabinets, I have my china and glassware neatly organized in them. I like the combination. The one thing I find I may want to change is the backsplash and range hood.

I guess everyone has their thoughts for 2023. However the people I have been watching are saying dark moody colors are in. Green kitchens are still popular. White couches are out. Gray rooms are out. I guess it comes down to what you like.

I have charcoal European style flat panel cabinets. Love my kitchen. Great video!

I think that people renovate less because of trends and more as a reaction to what you last had in a space. So if your last kitchen had wood cabinets, it doesn’t matter that they’re on trend now, you want something different to what YOU last had. That’s why I will not entertain beiges and browns. I lived with it too long and it’s not welcome in my new home.

Love the clean look of these designs, and the marble with the wood is beautiful. However after having wood cabinets, marble counters in the bathroom, and no vent in the kitchen, I am one of those who would not commit for practicality reasons. I also am already tired of the black and white marble everywhere even though I loved it initially. I like the idea of adding warmer accents with wood and as you always say “elevating” and having a clean look. Love your channel and home!

Always so fun to watch your channel. Thanks for your ideas and observations. You are fantastic!

I have two cupboards with glass on the doors. I love it because it makes my small kitchen seem bigger. Yes, it is something to keep things tidy inside, but pretty bowls, dinner plates and matching coffee cups along with nice glasses which we use every day seem to stay in order.

maybe 1 Glass-front cabinet on the higher cabinets, to show some pretty items. The rest I would suggest covered.

For the past year, my husband and I have been building a new home, and we hope to move in at the end of March. I had never seen your channel before we decided to build, but have watched so many of your videos over the past year! They have really helped and influenced my design. In our last home, we had just done an addition and redid the kitchen and dining room five years before we decided to sell. I went with a rich, gorgeous dark laminate floor and similar wood-look laminate countertop, with cream cabinets (calming cream by BM), black hardware, and some glass cabinet doors. While I loved my previous kitchen, I found myself drawn to cooler tones and no glass cabinets, which really surprised me! While I love the look of open shelving, I can't part with the storage of cabinetry, and I like things to look clean and organized. I did do a large alcove with two thick slabs of wood for shelves in the dining area of the kitchen. All the cabinets in our new home are Ballet White by Benjamin Moore with matte black hardware, and the range hood is a very plain box, tricorn black, but with a ledge for a piece of art. So while it's kind of a statement hood, it is not large, and is simple even though it is in a contrast colour. There is a pantry which has a repurposed black french sliding door, and the sink is black. The laminate marble-look countertop is in soft tones similar to Ballet White. The tile is a textured pearlized subway tile. I find style changes so fast, that I have really worried over having a lasting, classic look. But when it came to making final decisions, I had to choose what I really loved.

I just built a new modem cottage here in northeast Alabama. I wanted a warm cozy feel without it feeling like grandmas house. I went with an alder cabinet stained a walnut, creamy granite countertop with small veins of brown and gray, 12x13 inch beautiful unique tube all the way to the ceiling. I have open shelving but I have a huge pantry to justify myself haha. I get so many compliments on my kitchen especially for the backsplash. Kitchen design is so fun and rewarding

Thank you…I have been struggling with choices for my kitchen Reno. 😊My north facing kitchen deserves warmer choices than what has been the current trends. Resale in 10 to 15 years important. It’s nice to know that my choices are more trend forward then I thought. Natural maple cabinets, warm white paint…likely behr blank canvas… and warm tones on the floor. I am so excited now!

We just finished our selections for our new construction home last week & then I found this video. We chose two glass front cabinets for display on either side of the wood vent hood. The perimeter cabinets are painted white with black leathered granite & the island is a dark stained wood with a white marble, backsplash is large scale porcelain tile since we couldn't afford marble slab on the wall - multiple trends in one :)

I love the way glass cabinets make a kitchen feel larger - especially when those cabinets are mindfully filled! If there is another side of the kitchen with closet cabinets up top & a pantry area, you can fit the non-aesthetic things in there. 😂🤍 Lower drawers are also so convenient for storing most kitchen things other than dishes/glasses!

I love that you included so many images of DeVol kitchens which, to me, are the standard of beauty, elegance and timelessness.

‘Firehose’ away!!! LoL I’m here for it all. Another great video Valentina. I always appreciate you sifting through the trends, and delivering only the best! 🥂

In my last house I mixed walnut with painted cabinets...It was striking. I am updating my cottage and we have purchased handless cabinets and nothing on the wall except one pantry and integrated fridge freezer. Very slimline with limestone walls painted Farrow & Ball Lime White.

I grew up with some glass cabinets and was really disappointed my first few apartments didn’t have them. I need to see my items to know they exist 😂 so I want a mix of open shelves and glass door cabinets in my kitchen

I'm painting my kitchen cabinets in a cream color and it's going to be beautiful!!

I love the new kitchen trends with the Islands and classy veined marbles on top. Just beautiful. ty

No, no, and may I say, “No!” just one more time for the open shelving!?!? Dust is a huge problem- much less the clutter! Oh, and “No” on clear glass as well. 😅 I love real wood cabinets! Glad it’s back!

I have a fairly narrow kitchen and have white glass-fronted uppers that go up to my 10 foot ceiling, and I am very happy with them. They make the kitchen feel lighter. The only problem is needing a tall ladder to reach beyond the second shelf of the cabinets, since I am very short.

Loved this video. ❤️ You nailed it last year when you said wood was coming back after so many years of white or painted cabinets. Thanks so much.

I LOVE open shelving, and I’d consider glass front cabinets. Not sure about finger prints… ? I have so many beautiful cups and glasses and dishes. I love to see them.😀

We are in the final stages of our total kitchen renovation. Wood cabinets with some painted sage cabinets. Black edge pull hardware. Creamy dekton countertops. Black stainless steel appliances and sink. The biggest impact was changing a one window into three huge windows. Sunlight & nature right into the kitchen. Lots of functional & beautiful lighting. Also, the least expensive part of my kitchen is all the beautiful plants, palm trees, and even a lemon tree all nestled together near the double glass doors.

Such great information. I love my cabinets without handles. I don't like handles/knobs. One of the doors was in need of repair and I had such a hard time finding a wood worker in my area who had the tool to do that notch at the top. He said no one used that anymore. I even had our closet system drawers made with the push to open mechanism so I didn't have to have handles. Love the warmth of wood in the kitchen. My house was built in the 90's but in a higher end area of our city. I have some glass front cabinets that I love to keep my glassware and pretty cake stand in and they are still the original wood cabinets. When we remodeled our bathroom I painted the vanity BM Dove White and although I love that shade of white, I wished I had left the maple wood. I may have to remove the paint to get the wood look back.

Yay! I kind of overdid glass front cabinets in my new kitchen remodel but they are frosted glass so you see the images and not the actual items clearly. I was going to have the doors replaced but now, I'm keeping them. :). Thanks Valentina!

Hello Valentina! Thanks for your great content! Your content will be very helpful for homeowners.

Valentina, you're a girl after my heart... fellow color black lover here 😂🖤

We’ve been remodeling our kitchen ourselves. Purchased showroom cabinets from a kitchen company that was redesigning their showroom. Have beautiful wood cabinets on the bottom with cream cabinets on top, on with glass doors. Some open shelving. Quartz counters in Delios. I am going to plaster the walls and limewash them. Never done this before but it’s a small kitchen so we’ll see.

I know it’s not the point of the video but that outfit is SO FLATTERING on you! Also, absolutely on the wooden cabinets. I live in the sticks and we get trends about 5 years after the rest of the world, but when we built our house is 2021, I did my upper cabinets in white and my lower cabinets in clear coated rough hickory and I get SO MANY compliments on how “unique” it is.

I love the limewash. I'm looking to do it for my kitchen, dark & moody in a sleek minimalist style. Lots of natural wood, rich greens and of course dark limewash. I have a smallish medium L- shape kitchen with a large window, so a lot of natural light. I feel like I'll get away with doing dark and moody. And I'm being bold by repeating the theme throughout the whole apartment, each room having their own complimentary colour scheme. Currently I'm light fresh airy with soft pastel tones and I just feel the rooms are too “echo-ey” and because of the white base tones the walls are bouncing the light everywhere making the room feel empty lifeless and drab. It's definitely time for that bold step. 😉

After living in Japan, I have come to appreciate the stainless steel counter with intergrated sink. They even took some of the steel up the wall so I could use magnets for baskets, utensils and even tacking my recipes. What is your thought on how to incorporate this into a traditional kitchen. I also am wishing for more light in the kitchen to make it a place I want to be. We also lived in Europe and do appreciate the efficiency of European kitchens. Love your videos!

We are currently in the process of renovating our kitchen. And are going for a mixture of wood and color, no hood, no handles and matte black faucet....aaaand a coffee station. I guess we're trendy ;)

I purchased my sage green Caraway set a few year’s ago. I ❤ the functionality, aesthetics, and how easy it is to clean. I love the brand so much that I also purchased the bakeware set.

Yes I agree that open shelves just get dusty & one is forever cleaning your dish-ware etc- what a palarvar!! and going towards having no hardware is like going back decades!! no thanks! again you’d be forever cleaning all the fingermarks!! the practical functional reasons why we have glass cabinets & knobs to open & close is both practical & asethetic, we will always need good design to marry them both! thank you another thought provoking video, 👏👏🏠🏘🤩😀✨🌟

We did a total remodel of our kitchen last year, and I'm soo glad we went with beautiful dark wood cabinets and pantries! The counter is black granite with white & gold veining. The walls have swirled tiling in taupe, greys and white, with a rustic copper hood over the stove. Ours is a country lake house, so dark woods are warm and inviting. I could NEVER do glass-front cabinets or open shelves!🤦‍♀️ Oil-rubbed bronze or black continue to be my favorites for faucets and hardware. Both look great with rich wood colors.

I love how all the new trends coming back like wood cabinets, stainless steel he, etc. The only one I absolutely can’t do is the downdraft vents. It looks nice, clean & open. After having lived in 2 homes with downdraft vents and eventually converting them, it just isn’t practical if you moderately cook.

Omg! Those marble islands are GORGEOUS 😍

I’ve been wanting to redo our kitchen for a bit. I love the flat front wood cabinets!

I fell in love with DeVol after watching their series called For the love of kitchens.

AWESOME, LOVE LOVE LOVE THE 2023 KITCHENS. GREAT CONTENT, KATHLEEN

I was designing upmarket Cape Town kitchens with all of these trends in 2017/2018 already… in South Africa. Some other trends we have/had here: Walnut veneer was very popular then. Or Matt sealed oak that won’t yellow. Sintered porcelain (fire proof) countertops, usually faux marble texture 6-12mm thick. Quartz tops that are faux marble. Never real marble in kitchens - anything acidic will eat the surface (tomatoes and citrus) and sealing can be difficult. Fluted glass door fronts. Matt texture board cabinetry (gloss trend was 10 years ago). Most upmarket kitchens here have a separate combined scullery/laundry for sink dishwasher and laundry. Prep bowl in kitchen. Wall-in pantry’s if the house has space.

I think the open shelving will due out fast although I do like the idea of shelving right below the counter for cookbooks. I may try that on the back of my island.

I like the glass cabinets but not for the whole kitchen. Maybe one nicely done cabinet to display plates. Love those pans !

I have glass cabinets and I get so many compliments on them. I never dust them. I don’t need to. I have beautiful dishes and pottery with a mix of cookbooks it’s an artist display but I use everything. You need to see some of our homes. I have white painted cabinets very tall with a dark brown stained island with marble top in whites and grays. My island is huge and has cabinets under all the way around. I could take the doors off but I’m not going to but it’s totally shelves that are covered with a plain cabinet door on back side.

🖤Valentina🤍 what’s are the two lovely circular sculptures in view?? I can’t stop staring. Please share 🙏🏽

Let's hide it all. Gotta Windex the glass front cabinets. Nope. Hide the plastic Disney kids cups. Average income people don't have that much nice stuff to display anyway 🤣

open shelves= no glass shelves= no wood cabinets= yes if a light tone like ash off white walls= yes, like SW Greek Villa marble= not my thing except as a coffee table white kitchen cabinets= yes brushed nickel= yes shiny nickel= no

I'm voting NO to a lot of open shelving. Maybe just a small area or in the island but I doubt I'd like trying to keep them clean. Same for glass fronts. The finger prints alone would drive me crazy but also trying to keep the stuff inside neat and tidy. I'm a bit on the OCD side and do put things away in their places but still don't think I'd like too many. Maybe one or two cabinets with glass fronts for show piece items.

The excitement about the pans.... I FELT that LOL

i just moved into my new kitchen. I did white shaker uppers and adler wood shaker lowers and on the island with white quartz. I WAS going to leave the backsplash white but I did a poll on my socials and everyone voted for the aqua glass subway tiles. I live on the coast so the color palate just brings in the essence of the sea and landscapes. I LOVE my adler wood cabinets & island. definitely has the browns and a bit of black and maybe some gray undertones. But more than that, there are raw knots in some places. I love how rustic they are, mixed with the painted white uppers and sleekness of the white quartz. Oh, and one upgrade I made accidently, I had an empty 8" drawer next to the sink so I put my papertowels in it. A papertowel drawer! I haven't seen or heard that before

I love my wood modern cabinets. They always look beautiful

Brilliant! That was so much fun to watch. )

Enjoy your laughter.

I cook every day and still be able to keep everything clean and off the countertops 🤷🏼‍♀️ I get annoyed how people say women don’t cook when they have clean and organized kitchen

Love wood and glass I like them mix up

My newly built home has black stained oak cabinetry & it’s gorgeous!!! The grain of the wood looks so luxe when black!

I like hiding my stuff. However, I have a mixture of closed and glass fronted cabinets. Also, we mixed the painted with a beautiful mahogany cabinetry when we redid our kitchen 15 years ago. It is standing the test of time. Still love it.

I really appreciate your many different example pictures. Thanks!

HeyValentina, do you ever check out Drew from Lonefox Home. He just bought an old Spanish style home in LA.. He just painted his cabinets a chocolate purple lish brown color with statement marble and WoW is it delish. Love your channel

I am OBSESSED WITH that one marble too! Aaah! However I don’t trust myself with marble. I’m currently designing my house (dream come true) and my kitchen is going to be black wood cabinets light warm tone granite (the louder the better to mimic the statement look of that viola marble) … the same material goes up the backsplash and up behind the range, so there’s really just two main materials- glass uppers with brassy fixtures / hardware and accents. With the hidden “panel” fringe and dishwasher… I feel like I’m so bad at describing it😂 but it’s going to be so contrasty and bold!!! it’s almost time to actually start the build and I’ve been dialing in the whole design of the house thanks to your channel- it’s going to be so fabulous!!! Thank you for your videos!!!

Nothing like a quality wood cabinetry in the kitchen. My neighbor does custom cabinetry mainly in Buckhead and his work is so good he hasn’t advertised in years. I die when I see cheap cabinets now and cringe at our rental property with the painted cabinets from 2000, but hey it’s a rental. I am keeping my quality wood cabinets in my own home and appreciate them a lot more now that I know the value.

I did marble looking quartz on counters and full backsplash and i love!!

Valentina a link to your jacket ? So beautiful on you 😊👏

I have noticed you have your glasses up right & in the images you show, yet most people in the UK turn them the other way, so they do not collect dust in the glass 😊, just an observation 🇬🇧xx

i want to remodel my kitchen so bad, its builder grade, but for now i plan on doing a few adjustments

I really hate open shelving. I didn't think I could hate it even more. But the shelf under the counter? I hate that even more. Glass cabinetry doesn't make it better. Why display clutter?! I don't like metal handles on pots and pans either. They always look like they're going to be hot. But I really like you Valentina.

Kitchens are beautiful pieces of sculptured joinery. In the Southern hemisphere, timber combined with marble has been a beautiful combination for quite some time, with finger pulls eliminating any other form of handles. French kiss to me.😘

Thank you for all the links provided! I'm in love with all these ideas.

I have an extended island , the extension and everyone who see is it love it! In our case also serves our breakfast nook.

Illove the DeVol style.

I love mixed metals, kitchens warming up, more granite on the Island, everything en trend!! What’s old is new again!! Love it! Where’s Jack? I miss him!😊

Curious question: Lyme wash... I know I can Google, but a close up shot with a little more detail would be nice. Thanks.🌻

Those pots 😍

Love your outfit Valentina 👍

In Poland we can see a lot of backsplashes made of the same material as counters, which we haven't seen much before. Wood counter-wood backsplash.

Yes open shelving is too dusty, although just a small shelf for frequently used items is super handy

I’m also digging the mood with wood n tan

Use barkeepers friend to clean stained pots like new

Love the stone island concept

If you’ve ever watched the show For The Love of Kitchens, it’s very inspiring.

Omg! I was just looking into new pots and pans! It's like you reading ma mind!! 😁😁

I have a question about hardware. My sink and pot filler is Elkay Silvermist. My counters are quartz with veins. The 8 foot island is black on the bottom. Cabinets are white. My dilemma is the hardware. Is brushed nickel, brushed gold , or black the best? Im open to ideas as Im not sure what would work best. I appreciate your opinion. Thank you

Trends where I live (middle Europe - Germany, Austria): natural Materials: Wood, stone, concrete! vertically structured wooden fronts modern country (!) minimalistic appearance extractor integrated in the hob faucet with intrgrated other functions, like boiling water faucets in black dark kitchenfronts homeoffice places/spaces integrated in the kitchen (home office is a big theme since the pandemics and many firm kept it) filigree countertops: depending on the material, they play with an elegant and very comfortable industrial look, which is further enhanced by the worktop made of brushed stainless steel Whisper-Quiet Kitchen appliances Automated kitchen appliances induction hobs marble

I think one or Two "Feature" Glass Cabinets are fine.. and put the rest behind doors.

Love your jacket. Where’s it from?

How does one keep up these suggestions? You said three years ago the black and white was timeless. It would never go out of style. After following you for years I feel like you are jumping ship. One can’t redo a kitchen every year. I leaned on your understanding of classics. I sense your messages are dictated by trends now.

I can promise you open cabinets below is a nightmare. Especially in the island. We are building, and in the house we are renting we have open shelves under the island - everything is always dirty and dusty. Crumbs, dirt, dust. Closed cabinets all the way for me!

Love cozy and clean kitchen🌸

I say No to kitchen shelving, I like to have things hidden away Lol 😂 and the less dusting I have to do the better, I’ve still got the same saucepan set from a wedding gift going back 45 years Lol 😂, obviously I don’t do enough cooking, maybe one day I’ll replace them with new ones, but I don’t see the value in purchasing something just because they look pretty on the eyes, they serve there purpose well and I don’t like having those type of kitchen items out on display. Great video as always Valentina, hope your having a lovely weekend. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺😎😎

Open shelving is beautiful but I have way too many things! It would look so cluttered or I would have to trash a ton of essential items. We live with 4 ppl and entertain a lot so that’s a no from us

What color is the paint in your room. Love it!
