Modern farmhouse design<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you like to find design ideas on social media, there\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ve seen the modern farmhouse design. Although it was all the rage a few years ago, Allisa Jacobs from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allisajacobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allisa Jacobs Home Styling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> warns homeowners about incorporating this trend into their home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis trend, complete with farmhouse sinks, barn lights, and rustic details, exploded onto the scene almost ten years ago yet now feels too trendy and overdone. Instead, opt for timeless accessories and hardware. And, if you have a hard time letting go of the modern farmhouse approach, just choose one element to incorporate such as black cabinet hardware or butcher block countertops.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Gas stove tops<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certified Kitchen Designers Joy Wilkins, Chrysan Liedholm, and Maurice Velez from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.customkitchens-ca.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom Kitchens by John Wilkins Inc.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all agree, traditional <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/gas-vs-electric-stove\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gas stove tops<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are on their way out. \u201cGas cooktops and ranges, once very desirable, are slowly being phased out of many residential kitchens. Heat transfer inefficiency, indoor air quality concerns, and natural gas use regulations\/limitations are leading more consumers to induction cooktops. They\u2019re affordable, easy to clean, and offer higher heat transfer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Over-the-range microwaves<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOver the past decade, almost every new construction kitchen had a microwave over the stovetop range. Not now.\u201d says Erica Reilly from<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.millerresidential.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miller Flooring<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She continues, \u201cNew appliances have changed the game, allowing microwaves and other appliances to be hidden in the island or behind cabinet panels.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The space above the stove is prime kitchen real estate, and experts agree that it should not be wasted on a microwave. Kristin Hintlian from <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonsaikitchenandbath.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonsai Builders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> advises against this placement, suggesting better alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are two ways to integrate a microwave into your kitchen without putting it over the stove,\u201d Hintlian says. \u201cYour microwave can either be placed in a base cabinet, most often in the island, or mounted over a wall oven. Drawer-style microwaves are an excellent option for ease of use and a sleek look.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen with microwave over stove\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-microwave-over-stove-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. All white kitchens\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An all-white color scheme in your kitchen seems like the safest choice, especially if you\u2019re looking to attract home buyers. But today, kitchen designers are leaning towards creating warmer, cozier spaces and aren\u2019t afraid to play with texture and color.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Principle Interior Designer and Founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcneillbrowninteriors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McNeill Brown Interior Design<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Niki McNeill Brown gives her insight on all white kitchens. \u201cAll white kitchens are going out of style. Homeowners are gravitating toward cabinets with saturated colors punctuated by neutral textured tile. For tile, they\u2019re choosing classic shapes with subtle texture variations.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Open shelving<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angie Harpole from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpolehome.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harpole Home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gives her insight on another trend that\u2019s being phased out &#8211; open shelving in the kitchen. \u201cOpen shelving can be beautiful if styled aesthetically and for those who can maintain the dust and accumulation of clutter. For many, however, this concept is not sustainable. If clients are looking for a minimalistic appeal, I encourage them to opt for modern minimal cabinetry and propose a focal feature in that area with glass doors for items they want to showcase.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Gaps between the ceiling and cabinets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNever leave a small gap to the ceiling when installing cabinets,\u201d advises Len Marcu from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lensrmc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Len\u2019s Remodeling and Contracting Services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cEither leave enough space that you can store things and clean, or close the gap to the ceiling with crown molding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cStay away from builder-grade lighting fixtures,\u201d advises Kristin Hintlian from Bonsai Builders. \u201cLighting should be a statement piece and layered for maximum effect. Use LED puck lights in the ceiling, under-cabinet lighting, and stylish pendants over islands or sinks. This layering adds both functionality and a luxurious feel to your space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen with gaps between ceilings and cabinets\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Kitchen-with-gaps-between-ceilings-and-cabinets-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.
