The Wellness Kitchen: Hottest Home Design Trends in Kitchens for 2019

2018 had no lack of cool trends and the Hottest Home Design Trends in kitchens for 2019 will not disappoint either.

 

It is no surprise to me that home and color design trends are driven by what is happening in the world. Today many people are following healthier lifestyles and are concerned about the source, preparation, and sustainability of the food they eat. Designers are beginning to explore the same standards of wellness through kitchen design.

The idea of ‘The Wellness Kitchen’ is changing kitchen design to include:

  • Recycled, green and healthy materials.
  • Floorplans and furnishings that inspire social interactions and nourish family connections.
  • Transparency in the latest refrigeration and storage that makes chilled food and other foods more visible and more accessible to access; acting as a visual reminder to include healthy ingredients in meals.

  • Living walls are a  guaranteed way to enhance a home ’s visuals,  provide living herbs and improve air quality as well as resident alertness and energy levels.  Because of this trend, the color Sage green is set to be significant in Home Design Trends in kitchens for 2019.

The first step towards establishing ‘The Wellness Kitchen’ is to focus on simplicity. An uncluttered and tranquil environment has a therapeutic effect as it has a soothing for the eyes and brain. This trend leans towards a minimalist style, but it still feels warm, relaxed, light and airy.

TAn indoor Fresh Herb Garden is also a vital element of a Wellness Kitchen.  More people are electing to eat at home to control the health value of the food they are eating.

It is handy to have your herbs close to a water source and be sure they also have a  window nearby to provide a decent amount of sunlight.

If your green thumb is black, you may want to consider a system similar to an AeroGarden system, which allows hydroponic culture for up to 6 plants simultaneously. Keep your herbs, cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, etc. fresh and easily accessible all year round!
