Kitchen design trends for 2014

As kitchen is known as the one room of the home so everybody wants to make it look more attractive. Check out some hot trends in kitchen decor:

2) Specialty-focused: Kitchens continue to be focused on features like sustainability, cooking options and ease of use. Trends that favor energy savings are a key development. Touchless faucets save on water and energy-stingy appliances can trim electric bills.

3) Countertop shift: While granite and marble remain the standard-bearers, we'll see more engineered countertops take hold, such as quartz and glass. These surfaces sport an attractive natural look, emphasize sustainability and are easy-care.

4) Shift to neutral: Wild colors are taking a back seat to the high-contrast black-and-white kitchens rising in popularity.
