Wood Cabinetry and Countertops
Wooden countertops are a popular choice among many homeowners who love a classy kitchen with an elegant and traditional look. White is a great color choice for kitchen because it is versatile, timeless, and there are many ways to mix and match with other elements in the kitchen to personalize your space.
Metallic Accents
As well as looking stylish, metal is a practical solution – it’s extremely hardwearing and boasts antimicrobial properties which makes it a great choice for a working kitchen. Metallic surfaces, from handles to worktops and backsplash, will prove popular in kitchen design. Gold and bronze shades adding a splash of luxury or hotel-decadence. Black add some industrial feel into the space. These colors were once reserved for smaller accents such as handles or taps, however, in recent times, we have seen them appear in larger forms such as sinks and entire island work surfaces.
Houseplants

It also lets you grow your own food and herbs. The easiest way is to display in pots and vases on the countertop and open shelves.
Tile Backsplash

The backsplash is meant to protect them from deterioration and ease maintenance efforts but has recently become an added focal point for homes. Generally easy to install, clean and affordable, tiles are great options to add style and protect your kitchen wall.
