White and neutral kitchens will always be on trend, but in 2016, we’re seeing them juxtaposed against a bold pop of colour. Bring some flavour to a neutral palette with vibrant pendant lamps, saturated backsplashes or even retro pastel-hued appliances.

The kitchen trends for 2016 are all about having fun, and geometric patterns are popping up in kitchens everywhere this year. Add a punch of interest to your kitchen with an accent wall in a geometric paper or hexagonal backsplash like the kitchen shown here. Alternatively, have fun with your kitchen flooring and lay down geometric shaped tiles or patterned hardwood.
