Hidden Kitchenwares is the New Trend and Here's How to Do It

A popular kitchen trend in recent years has been to open up the cabinets—or even remove them entirely—to expose the dishes and glasses.

That, however, did not last long. Instead, one of the most popular 2023 kitchen trends is "hidden storage."

Hidden storage is a departure from the open shelving trend of last year. While shelving allows you to display items and can make rooms appear larger, it also forces you to stay organized and does not allow you to hide precariously stacked items or less-than-perfect displays.

"Hidden storage" was named a hot trend to watch in 2023 by 53% of designers. An added benefit: It's a trend that may allow homeowners to relax a little about how they store their kitchen items. After all, open floorplans put a lot of pressure on you to keep things tidy all the time.

While hiding the storage, make sure to maximize the space inside the cabinet doors. Vertical pull-out drawers, drawer organizers, pull-down shelving (for reaching upper cabinets), and blind corner base cabinet organizers to maximize space in corner cabinets are all options.

Mixing materials and textures is another hot kitchen trend for 2023. Designers dubbed this the year's biggest trend.

Using a variety of materials in one design, such as incorporating wood and tile on the floor or glass and stone on the backsplash, is an example of mixing materials. By combining materials, you can add depth to the design. It is possible to highlight different areas by changing materials, and you can also blend styles, allowing you to create a transitional design or a style that combines two different designs.
