If you are too busy or do not want to spend a lot of resources on research, you could just take a look at the kitchens of your friends, relatives and neighbors, especially if any of them have recently built a new house or got any remodeling done. You will come to know of the latest styles and you can also ask them about their project to understand price, functionality and quality of the materials used.

Here is a quick guide for trending kitchen materials in 2020

1. Natural construction materials such as brick, wood and stone are popular as they give an earthy and warm feel to the kitchen.
2. Quartz is largely the chosen material for countertops as it is hard, anti-microbial and low maintenance.
3. Dark colors are making a comeback instead of pale white kitchens. Dark tones like navy, black, emerald green, brown or plum give a rich feel to the kitchen and provide a bright pop of color. Otherwise, owing to a lot of steel and glass in the kitchen, the whole décor looks too plain.
4. Pewter and gunmetal fixtures give your kitchen an elegant and sophisticated look as opposed to black or gold which could look too dull or too bright.
5. Colored cabinets, instead of the usual white, cream or gray, are salient choices. If your kitchen walls and flooring are of a pale color, you can flip the lever for bright green, blue, or red cabinets to make the kitchen look more vibrant.
