Big themes this year: warmer wood tones, multifunctional islands, energy-efficient appliances, hidden/paneled appliances, and better task lighting. Durable, low-maintenance surfaces (quartz, LVP) stay popular. You don't need a full gut — new cabinet fronts, counters, hardware, and lighting refresh a kitchen for a fraction of the cost. Prioritize layout and storage over trendy finishes.
