8. Subway tile backsplash

I remember that these subway tiles were a real thing back in the day, and everybody had them in the kitchen. But in 2022, they will look so dated, and a lot of designers want them gone forever. The first option is to vertically stack them in order to add some visual interest. Designers also recommend geometrical tiles like hexagons or triangles because they can create the modern appeal your kitchen needs!

On the other hand, there are stone veneers, zellige, and slab splashes that you could use on your walls. And the most important “rule” is to avoid the ceiling completely so the space won’t look crowded or smaller depending on the color you choose. Do you have subway tile? If so, in which color?

9. Open space kitchens

In the past three years, the pandemic has highlighted the need for private places, given the volume of areas that must serve as home offices, especially for those who work remotely. Large kitchens that are connected to the rest of the house are becoming less popular because of this. And according to a lot of interior designers, this won’t even be a “trend” in 2023.

If you love to cook almost daily, then you know the struggle of having a weird smell lingering in your living room because of the open space kitchen. So what do you think is now the time for a change in your kitchen?

    Oh, really? What will you replace this with? Or will you just have bottled gas stoves and ovens send out all kinds of deadly fumes?

    Thanks for these tips. Considering opening the kitchen into our TV room somehow or with a “Bar” peninsula in between but appreciate the thoughts on the kitchen smells. Also I put white/gray subway tile surround in our new 7 foot tub master bath and shower and love it and the kitchen remodel is next….I see the subway tiles as kitchen backsplashes in a lot of my HOME magazines…curious to think that will look dated! 🙂 Thanks again!
