Building your own custom home, making all the decisions, creating the perfect living space for you and your family is the dream of many. Smart devices, color palates, appliances and more can be incorporated into the design of your custom home to put your stamp on it, and truly make it yours. One area that gets the most traffic is the kitchen, and Alair Homes Savannah is leading the way into the future. Build the custom kitchen of your dreams with the hottest trends for 2018.

Smart kitchen

By purchasing automated appliances, you can lower your electric bill, reduce your carbon footprint, and enjoy the convenience of using your kitchen from anywhere. Check the ingredients in your refrigerator, preheat the oven, or completely shut down the devices that drain electricity even when turned off with the touch of a button. Many kitchen appliances are smart and work with a variety of hubs and controllers like Alexa and Bluetooth.

Cabinetry

The newest trends are more functional and utilize space better. Hanging cabinets that extend to the ceiling gets rid of the wasted space above them. Using pullout drawers is easier to access and gives a more open feel. Combine the two for more storage than your average kitchen.

Touch faucets

With many styles and colors to choose from, the touch faucet is a great addition to any kitchen. This is a hands-free faucet that is activated to turn the water on with one touch of your skin. Perfect for when your hands are full or dirty. Just touch it with the back of your arm and the water starts flowing.

A Sink That Works For You

There are hundreds of different styles and sizes of kitchen sinks. The sink may turn out to be the hardest working thing in your whole house. Before deciding, you could ask yourself what you will use the sink for the most. Some come with a cutting board, a built-in drainer, and more than one basin of varying sizes.

Color Palate

Classic white has always been a favorite that will never go out of style. The hottest trend is the addition of color. Two-toned cabinets are a big hit, and adding pop with accessories brings life to your kitchen. Henna, grey, black, and yellows are some of the trending colors. Natural or bright and vibrant, show your personality with color. The kitchen is one popular spot to join your personality and functionality for the whole family.

Creating a Small Seating Area

An island is a good spot to work and sit to eat or just relax, but the addition of a small seating area is becoming more and more popular. A small couch and couple of comfortable chairs where people can sit back and relax is a great way to bring everyone together for an enjoyable evening.

The future is here. If you are building your own home, the chance to make your living environment just the way you want it is easier than it used to be. Turn your kitchen into the envy of your Savannah neighborhood with the latest trends on the market today.
