Le Havre Hickory Hardwood in Quiche
Chances are, you and your family spend a lot of time in the kitchen —it’s where you prep meals for the week, host family brunches, and maybe even fire off a quick work email in the morning. If you’re thinking about a kitchen renovation this year, start your mood board here! We have insight into the top trending kitchen designs for 2023.
Flooring
National Marble Res Tile by Daltile
Let’s start at the base. Investing in a show-stopping kitchen floor makes a great canvas for the rest of your design. Expect to see large, natural-style flooring (like flagstone floors), checkerboard tiling, and chevron wood looks taking over kitchen floors in 2023. Flagstone floors are versatile, durable, natural, and cool, making them an ideal choice for the kitchen, while checkerboard tiling lends an air of the traditional with a retro feel. Although wood flooring has been a constant in kitchens for generations thanks to its natural warmth, chevron wood-look tile is beginning to take center stage since it’s more scratch-resistant and waterproof.
Backsplash

2023 seems to be the year of uniquely bold backsplashes. Think metallics, textured tiles, mosaic designs, artistic patterns, mixed materials, glass, and marble. If you’re more of an all-neutral design fiend, play with textured tiles and mixed materials in your kitchen backsplash. Don’t be shy, though —the kitchen is the best place to take a risk with bold tiling in small spaces, like behind the cooktop and below your cabinets.
Design Kitchen Trends
Extending the kitchen
Historic Res Tile by Daltile
Extending the kitchen’s reach is going to be huge in 2023. This looks different depending on your design preference and the climate where you live. With the open-concept kitchen dominating the design world, our kitchens often include spaces like the pantry, mudroom, breakfast nook, dining area, and half baths. Take this one step further this year, with an extended indoor-outdoor space with pocket walls and huge windows to encompass natural sunlight.
Touches of the traditional
Cortijo Glazed Ceramic by Emser Tile
Subdued countertops and simple cabinet doors will take center stage in 2023. Look for soft muted shades and honed finishes. We’ll still find dramatic colors mixed with light wood to warm up the space. Use the kitchen as a backdrop for vintage pieces like buffet cabinets and heirloom dinner sets.
Concealed Storage and Appliances

Storage is often a main pain point when it comes to your kitchen, so why not get ahead of this issue in your next kitchen renovation by adding concealed storage space? If you’re seeking a solution for the mess of appliances on your counter, think outside of the box with roll-down cabinet doors and built-in pantries. Consider integrated paneled appliances for your fridge, oven, and dishwasher to help your kitchen blend seamlessly.
