The 6 Kitchen Design Trends Set to Dominate 2017

No longer a solely utilitarian space, today's kitchen plays host to a range of activities beyond meal prep and casual family dining. For Joe Maykut, Product Manager with Sears Home Services, there's no doubt: The kitchen serves as "the heart" of the home.

These days, he observes, "homeowners don't want the kitchen to look and feel different from the rest of the home." Instead, according to Maykut, homeowners are likely to further integrate the kitchen into both the design of the house and the life of the family, with kitchens taking on many "characteristics more commonly associated with other rooms."
