Extreme Kitchen Makeover: Kitchen Styles and Design Themes


Before remodeling your Arizona kitchen, it's important to understand the current 2011 design trends and styles. The following five kitchen styles are the hottest of 2011, and should help you decide what design to use in your new Scottsdale kitchen remodel!





Modern Kitchen Style


One of the top kitchen design styles of 2011 is the "Modern" design style. This is a simple, clean design resulting in a fresh, crisp kitchen. Typically modern design cabinets are a dark, strong custom-built cabinet. Modern design kitchen countertops are solid granite to work nicely with the rich solid wood cabinetry.



Mediterranean Kitchen Design


The Mediterranean design gives off a vibrant style with aged textures. Soft colors accent the entire kitchen, complementing the rustic hardware on custom or semi-custom cabinetry.



Asian Kitchen Style


Similar to the modern kitchen design, Asian kitchen designs follow a strict clean and simplistic style. The Asian kitchen style features a well-lit kitchen, with natural features like bamboo flooring and custom unique cabinets. Complementing the entire natural design is a simple and warm color palette.

Cottage Kitchen Design


The cottage style kitchen can be wrapped up with two words, relaxed and informal. This is a picture-perfect kitchen design, with warm, light colors. Typical cottage kitchen cabinets are custom-built with light or white woods. Flooring is most likely to be tile or dark hardwood flooring.



Vintage Kitchen Style


Imagine a 1960's vintage style kitchen, with ruby reds, yellows, or turquoise colors adorning the walls. Vintage kitchen cabinets are solid white, adorned with stainless steel hardware complementing the stainless steel kitchen appliances. (Photo credit to newphotosgalleries.com)
