Top Kitchen Trends for 2019

Posted January 1, 2019

Staying on top of the latest design trends can help you make great style choices when it comes to renovating your own kitchen. Here are some trends that are going to make it big in 2019:

Matte Finishes

Gone are the days of high-gloss paint! When it comes to walls, cabinets and even countertops, we’re seeing a lot of matte finishes. Some of our suppliers are coming out with velvet finishes to match this trend, and there are going to be lots of options for homeowners who want to achieve this look in the year to come.

Dark Colours

White is an ever-popular colour choice for kitchens, and one that’s unlikely to go out of style, but for homeowners who are looking for something a bit different, dark colours are making it big in the kitchen design space. Grey and navy are becoming more and more common in kitchens, but the key is to combine these dark colours with lighter features to maintain a balance.

Hardware Finishes

The past few years has seen a resurgence in shiny hardware and other fixtures, but 2019 is the year of champagne and brushed bronze. Whether it’s your faucet, cabinet hardware or light fixtures, you’re going to see lots of these colours in the coming year.

Display Shelving

Dishware and stemware isn’t just functional, so why hide it all away? Homeowners are paying just as much attention to the style of their dinner plates and glasses as the kitchen itself, and display shelving is becoming a popular way to show off these items. Whether you go for a fully open, floating shelf or glass-fronted cabinets, there are lots of ways to incorporate this trend into your kitchen this year.

Super-Functional Sinks

Sinks aren’t just for doing dishes anymore. Sinks are becoming increasingly multi-functional as we use them for meal prep, rinsing fruits and vegetables and much more. Not only are we seeing trends toward deeper, larger sinks, they’re also being upgraded with accessories. Sliding cutting boards, multi-level sink grids, integrated colanders and even compost collectors are turning sinks into one of the most functional parts of the kitchen.

Suttcliffe's quality of service and workmanship is top notch. They transformed my entire home including removing and rebuilding the roof, built and installed a gorgeous custom kitchens and other custom millwork. I can't be more pleased with the results and am almost embarrassed by the gushing compliments from friends and neighbors!

From the very first phone call to the final installation, every person I interacted with provided top notch service! A kitchen reno involves so many decisions and Lisa and Jacqueline helped me every step of the way. The final result is everything I hoped it would be but so many people and things have to come together to get it right. Don’t take a chance with your kitchen - use the pros at Sutcliffe!!! Kudos to Sean as well for flawless installation!

Sutcliffe Kitchens just finished renovating my kitchen and I could not be happier. I knew from the start that we were safe having Kim lead this project. She made us feel comfortable and set us up with a great contractor. The install of the kitchen went well, and I could not be happier with the work that Sean did in our home. Kevin always stayed connected with us by letting us know how things were progressing with our project. Overall, the whole team was great to work with and I have recommended Sutcliffe Kitchens to all my family and friends who have been impressed with the completion of our new kitchen.

Sutcliffe Kitchens are a very professional but personable company, who take the time to listen to your wants and needs in designing a new kitchen. Every detail is not overlooked. The installers are good craftsmen and ensure the cabinets are installed correctly. They partner with a countertop company, Stonex, to choose a countertop. Sutcliffe also partnered with a contractor, Homestead Renovations, who looked after the renovation of our kitchen. They did excellent work preparing the space for the new cabinets. Very pleased with our experience dealing with this excellent kitchen cabinet company.

We have used Sutcliffe Kitchens for the past 7 kitchens in our homes and have consistently received excellent customer service and installation. Miranda, in particular, has been a fantastic designer and has played a key role in the successful completion of each project. The team at Sutcliffe Kitchens is professional, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to ensure that our expectations are met. The quality of their work is exceptional, and we have always been extremely happy with the end result. Sean, one of the installers, has done an excellent job on all of the kitchens we have had installed by Sutcliffe Kitchens. He is highly skilled and takes great pride in his work. His attention to detail is impeccable, and he always goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is perfect. He is also very easy to work with and has excellent communication skills, which makes the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Overall, we highly recommend Sutcliffe Kitchens for anyone in need of a new kitchen. They are a top-notch company with a team of dedicated professionals who truly care about their clients and delivering the best possible service.

In spring/summer of 2022, I hired the Sutcliffe Kitchens / Sutcliffe Homes team to do a reno of my entire main floor. We had two walls removed, a load bearing beam installed, and a kitchen, powder room, living room & office reno, along with a fireplace demo, with a new FP insert installed, and a FP surround built. Lisa and the kitchen team did a fantastic job on our custom kitchen cabinetry design and install. Lisa took me through the whole design process, making suggestions and accommodating my preferences the whole way. She even helped me work through my ideas for integrating a dog bed area and dog feeding area into the new design! (The pup loves his new spaces!) The Kitchen team worked seamlessly with their sister company, Sutcliffe homes & renovations. Everything was managed perfectly. The cabinet and countertop quality was great, and the workmanship was top notch. I get compliments on my new kitchen constantly! I would not hesitate to recommend this company!

My kitchen and bathrooms are pretty small but they really customized everything in order to maximize the space. My closet has never been so organized in my life...Got shelves to fit the shoes and went all out on the granite since it wasn't a big piece to begin with...Overall content with the work will call them again for any further remodeling I need done.

They deserve 10 stars. From the start Miranda and Kevin were professional, answered every question and help us feel at ease with our kitchen reno. Miranda listened to our likes and dislike and basically nailed the design on the first drawing. Kevin and the install team took great pride in their work and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. Not only did they provide a great product which will last for years to come. Their customer service and workmanship would be hard to beat.

From design to install to service, our experience with Sutcliffe Kitchens was outstanding. Lisa and Kevin were very professional in guiding us through the design process. We appreciated their attention to details and quick responses to our questions. It was very helpful to have that experience and knowledge during the decision making. Thank you Lisa for your patience in helping us make all those decisions! The installation by Sean and Joe was smooth and on schedule. Tracy was great with her follow up service on the little tweaks after the major install. You were all a joy to work with! We are so pleased with the final result and would recommend Sutcliffe Kitchens to anyone looking to do a kitchen remodel or new build. We are loving our new kitchen!

We recently moved and decided we wanted to make some changes to the kitchen. We asked friends and family members if they were aware of a reliable, service oriented company. Sutcliffe Kitchens was the name mentioned most often. Service, Service, Service. From our first meeting with Lisa to the install with Kevin and Tracey, professionalism, assistance and perfection were the obvious priority. The smallest change and critiquing the placement of the cabinets and counter tops were handled effortlessly. Sutcliffe Kitchens has succeeded in changing the phrase…. “Service is a thing of the past”. We are so pleased with our renovation and would recommend Sutcliffe Kitchens without hesitation.

We are just wrapping up our kitchen renovation completed with Sutcliffe Kitchens. If there was a 10 star option, I'd choose that. Full compliments to Miranda, who was our designer, who listened and asked lots of questions to fully understand our vision and then brought it to life. Throughout the process she was always available for questions, small changes and spent an afternoon with us at suppliers. During the reno process she was always available to answer questions from our contractors who were prepping the work area. I can't possibly imagine being disappointed if you have the opportunity to work with her. This process was smooth, relaxing, enjoyable and the finished product is beyond what we would have imagined when we started the process. Big thanks to the whole Sutcliffe team and make sure you check in with them if you're doing a kitchen project!

We did a full gut and remodel of our kitchen. Our house is a century farm home and there were challenges to get everything we wanted in these old walls. Miranda was amazing. She really helped us to bring our kitchen to life. The drawings were detailed and helped us visualize what it was we wanted and her suggestions were pratical and inspiring. Getting to see the hardware, cupboards and counter top in person, at their beautiful showroom, was fantastic. They helped us create a one of a kind island topper and matching floating shelves, that really personalize the space. The installers were wonderful. Polite and effcient craftspeople. Our kitchen came in on time and on budget!

Kitchen and bath reno in 2020 Sutcliffe Kitchen and Sutcliffe Renovations We selected Sutcliffe based on the quality in showroom, willingness to listen to our requirements that was reflected in the design and the excellent working relationship they both demonstrated during the quote process. This excellent relationship was clearly demonstrated during the project. Lisa (Sutcliffe Kitchen) turned a dull and dark old kitchen area into a bright and well organized new kitchen and also did a great job on our separate pantry and laundry room. They were all excellent to work with, Lisa, Sean and Tracey on the kitchen and Ryan, Jake and Brad on the renovation construction. The workmanship was excellent and everyone followed through on commitments. Any delays were usually created by us due to our Covid cautions. They also kept to a rough timetable that was provided and this really helped us understand where we were and what was coming. The fact that this project could be accomplished on time and during a pandemic is a testament to their organization skills and excellent working relationships with their suppliers and trades. We would definitely recommend them.
