From cooking to conversations all the way to homework help and parties, the kitchen truly is the heart of the home.
The average American spends more than nine days in the kitchen each year. With such a long time being spent in the kitchen, it’s no wonder that you would want it to look as “on trend” as possible.
With so many colors and features to choose from, it can be hard to know what’s a fad and what trends are here to stay. A new report by Wren Kitchens has analyzed over 500,000 Instagram posts in the USA to determine the top “instagrammable” kitchen trends for styles, features and color themes. See the trends that are here to stay below.
