This is your list of 9 kitchen trends from 2023 you want to consider.
Does a new year equal new kitchen trends? “Trends” sounds like cheap, fast fashion fads, whereas your kitchen is full of permanent, expensive materials. But this list has a lot of classic elements to it that will take you through this decade.
I was told by The Kitchen Specialist out of North Carolina that a “facelift” remodel (painted cabinets, same flooring, new countertops, backsplash, keeping plumbing in place etc) can cost from anywhere up to 50k, whereas a demo and total kitchen remodel gut job can cost double that or more. These numbers are a generalization and depend on your location, cost of living, if you are able to save by doing your own work, etc.
But with our crazy housing market of 2022, some aren’t as hung up on “getting money back” on each dollar they put into their investment because the formula went haywire! (As did life!). Homeowners are spending more now than ever before on their kitchens, according to the 2023 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends Study.
UPDATE: See the Kitchen Report for 2023 here.
The following kitchen trend report is discussing the following 9 kitchen features:
We are tackling a major kitchen renovation of my own, so I am all too aware of where I’ll be spending the larger portion of the budget (and where not to!).
Not only that, but we just built a beautiful kitchen in our last house in 2017. Fast forward to today, and some trends that we loved in our previous kitchen we won’t be repeating, while other classic choices will remain the same! More on that to come…
We’ve made the evolution from stark white towards warm, earthy and all around cozy vibes in the kitchen! Warmer white or taupe cabinets are a great choice for former white kitchen lovers.
Griege is a way to keep that light and airy feel but stay up to date. (Greige is a made up term for that middle ground between warm grey and beige.) Related: Get 12 gorgeous greige kitchen cabinet paint colors here.
Natural wood cabinets are trending strong and a great design decision, while adding to the warm cozy factor. Grained walnut or white oak, mixed with white is classic.
Don’t like earthy? The black and white kitchen trend is having a big moment as a kitchen trend in 2023 – and black and white is classic! These colors work even as your style changes over time.
Below is a great example. This is not a “new kitchen”, but look how timeless the black and white is:
Above is a newly built black and white kitchen. Considering a kitchen with these colors? You will want to see 10 Black and White Kitchens That Won’t Age.
Blue remains strong. (In my book, blue will always be a classic… and borderline neutural!)
I would make the bold statement that glazed tiles are similar to the 2014 version of subway tile. With the light catching finish of liquid glass, these tiles have a shiny and slick finish that look good in many kitchens of various styles.
Glazed tiles seen below:
Grout lines are going even thinner (made possible by advancements in tile technology), and there is a big movement towards slab backsplashes continuing in 2023 in place of tile. This removes all the grout lines and gives a clean, luxurious look.

Lastly, reconsider cutting off tile where the upper cabinet starts. Taking the tile all the way up to ceiling height (where you can) feels high end, plus it gives a focal point if done on one area. Higher backsplashes can brighten a dark kitchen, especially when it’s a reflective or white backsplash.

Countertops are the most common splurge item in kitchen renovations of 2023 with appliances as a close second.
White shades of quartz remain the most popular kitchen countertop trend in 2023. Quartz is well loved for being family and life friendly – and a great option for those who are attracted to marble. No worries about stains – quartz holds up to real life messes!~
Read about the durability of quartz and a few recommended kinds of quartz here.
Quartz that has similar colors to marble continues to trend. Below is Statuario Maximus from Caesar Stone. It is a marble look alike; a quartz with a soft base and bold thick veining.

Marble finishes will always find a place in the kitchen, although they will never be the practical choice. Love them or hate them, they are still adored in high end kitchens! Homeowners installing marble make peace with the etches that will inevitably happen.

Waterfall islands, generously sized islands, and countertop materials that continue seamlessly onto walls are all kitchen trends of 2023.
Now that homeowners are waiting at least 6 months for an appliance to arrive, we are feeling justified to shell out more money in this area.
Smart appliances are a big ticket item as smart technology integrates with our everyday living. A huge time saver is preheating the oven on your drive home from the office or – my personal favorite – even get appliances serviced without a technician.
White appliances are a hot color choice for 2023 kitchens. While they used to say dated, the new white appliances reflect cleanliness and beauty, (smudge proof? yes please!). Look at GE’s Cafe series, or Whirlpool’s “Ice Collection”.
And lastly, just as we saw in 2021, panel ready appliances are a popular choice in luxury kitchens. We are also following suit. The reason? Seamless, easy to clean and just about as attractive as you can get!
The combination of metals you can mix up in your kitchen is like no other time. No need to stick with one or even two finishes for cabinet hardware, sink faucet, and lighting.
So what types of metals? Polished nickel continues to be a classic. Unlacquered brass is going no where, because most people either hate it or love it. Read a quick guide all about unlacquered brass here – what is it, why it’s controversial.
Black mixes well with just about everything. Stainless? Definitely mix it in.

Copper is also a well liked metal that continues in 2023. Gold is not going anywhere and continues to be seen in various finishes (just stay away from the extra yellow shiny tone of the ’80s).
Forget the pantry closet – true working pantries, bigger than ever that hold appliances or areas like coffee centers – are now on many “must haves” lists for many new dream kitchens.

Everyone wants increased storage – especially with so many home. Sculleries and butler pantries in all sizes are going into new construction kitchens!
What To Put in Your Working Pantry?
We are taking a piece out of our large dining room to create this small back kitchen room. Ours won’t house day to day food storage – but instead it will have double wall ovens, the microwave, and coffee station all together, a few refrigerated drawers, and storage for bakeware.
Don’t forget to house plugs for appliances, or cabinets with plugs inside in your pantry too. This is a nice spot to keep and charge the Dustbuster or your vacuum.
Rounded accents is another new one that may sound strange at first, but you will see this trend growing.
We considered a curved cabinet in our new kitchen but ultimately squashed the idea due to other details – but expect to see curves popping up in lots of designs! Curved sides of islands, arched windows and doorways, or even arched glass cabinetry. It’s all about that organic feel.
Lastly, workstation sinks are another newer trend – and one you might regret if you choose a smaller sink.
What is a Workstation Sink?
If you love to cook this will get you excited! These large sinks start are available in several sizes in but can really go wide, boasting drop in inserts such as colanders, cutting boards, or drying racks. Everything can be prepped right there at the sink.

In our scullery we are including small antique cabinet to add a practical but unexpected conversation piece. Since the small room is full of cabinets, it won’t feel as visually heavy and will still give us space for prep.
The days of painted, glazed / fake “antiqued” furniture everywhere is over (and we’re okay with that!), but incorporating a touch of actual wood looks beautiful in a room.
It also takes away from the “new build” feel if everything you have is new and factory made. How about a vintage farm table as an island? If all of your kitchen is brand new, juxtapose the new stark feel with an antique kitchen table.
Kitchen trends for 2023 are giving me a timeless feel. If you found something to pull from these 9 trends that resonates with you, then this post was a success! If you liked this blog you’d also love to Shop Our Home!
