New Styles & Trends for Kitchen Plumbing Fixtures & Accessories
Functional and decorative plumbing products have come a long way over the years, and each year brings new styles and trends to the table. In this article, we'll discuss a few current kitchen plumbing trends that are popular today and also look to the future to see what may be in vogue in the near future.
Matte Black & Bronze Faucets and Hardware
Matte black is slowly but surely becoming one of the most popular colors for plumbing fixtures and accessories. In 2016, it's been huge for countertops and sinks, but also making a statement on cabinet hardware and faucets. The finish doesn't have much shine, but it's easy to care for and so neutral that it complements other accent colors in the kitchen. Another color that's been big in kitchens lately has been bronze. This is a departure from the ultra-popular chrome color that's been dominating kitchens for years.
Eco-Friendly Faucets
With droughts across the country and water shortages becoming more common, homeowners are turning their attention to eco-friendly faucets. Installing water-efficient faucets in the kitchen translates to saving money on utility bills, protecting the environment, and conserving energy. Certain kitchen faucets and faucet accessories are labeled as high-performing, water-efficient fixtures that complete a certification process and meet EPA standards.
Looking Ahead to the Future
As we turn the calendar to 2017, many of the kitchen design trends from 2016 are likely to continue into the new year. We expect to see brighter and more creative colors being used for sinks, which means that neutral plumbing fixtures will be even more in demand. Technological automation will likely advance even further and make the "smart kitchens" of the future a reality today. Hands-free faucets, in particular, are gaining a lot of popularity and expected to expand to new markets in the years ahead.
