6 kitchen design trends for 2013

NKBA members say these kitchen concepts will be big this year

February 14, 2013

Satin Nickel


When it comes to faucet finishes in kitchens, satin nickel has been on the top since 2011, its usage increasing from 42 percent in 2010 to 60 percent this year, according to NKBA. Bronze or oil-rubbed bronze finishes are also being specified more often, growing from 41 percent to 50 percent in the past year. The increased popularity of these three finishes most likely comes at the expense of polished nickel and polished chrome. The latter, which had seen a rise in usage in 2012, dipped from 52 percent to 47 percent in the latest survey; polished nickel dropped from 25 percent to 20 percent.
