Outdated kitchen trends – 5 overdone looks that designers like to avoid, and here's why you should too

1. ULTRA-MODERN KITCHENS

This often means doing away with the ultra-modern, featureless, look once favored by quick flippers. Kitchens, these days, are now cozier, warmer and more welcoming than ever, as demonstrated above. The best kitchen designers and decorators agree that the stark, modern look is over.

2. MATTE BLACK HARDWARE

Every few years, a new trend emerges, and for a while, the trend for matte black hardware was at the height of popularity. We have flippers to thank for this one.

3. APPLIANCES ABOVE THE RANGE

Installing appliances, like an over-the-counter microwave, has been the standard for many years, but that is now changing in favor of beautiful design-led extractor hoods, or functional storage.

4. TRADITIONAL CHERRY-WOOD CABINETS

For the longest time, you couldn't visit a home that didn't proudly possess a cherry-wood kitchen. For those keeping up with the Joneses, this wood kitchen cabinet color was a must-have. During the late 80s and early 90s, these kitchen styles were quite expensive, so they were an aspirational design option, but fast-forward thirty years and cherry-wood kitchens are being replaced left, right, and center. But does that mean wood kitchens are outdated entirely? No, quite the opposite, in fact.

5. FARMHOUSE KITCHENS

It is safe to say that farmhouse kitchens are one of the most requested kitchen trends to date, but there is an extremely fine line between getting this style just right, or horribly wrong. The key to this trend is to stop it from looking, well, basic.
