Top Kitchen Design Trends for 2020

March 5th, 2020

As the leading local kitchen remodeling service in Bucks County, PA and the surrounding communities, Munz Construction has handled countless kitchen renovations. Throughout 2019, our kitchen remodeling contractors noticed a few emerging patterns regarding design choices. Let’s examine four of the hottest kitchen remodel design trends for the year 2020:

Glass Doors & Big Windows

Do you ever look around your kitchen and think to yourself, “this room needs some more color and natural light?” Glass doors and well-positioned windows can accomplish both of those things. If you have beautiful natural scenery right outside your kitchen, why wouldn’t you want to make the most of it? Instead of hanging pictures and paintings that depict scenic natural landscapes on your walls, put the real deal on display by installing large windows and glass doors — it will feel like your kitchen has live paintings that you can open up and interact with.

Multipurpose Kitchen Islands

Kitchen islands are gaining popularity and are no longer viewed as novelties. They used to be mere afterthoughts for homeowners in Bucks County, PA remodeling their kitchens. But now, new features are emerging that have made kitchen islands a must-have installment for home improvement projects in 2020 and beyond. A kitchen island is like a jack-of-all-trades installment that can be fitted with kitchen appliances, cabinets for storage space, and plenty of seating room for friends and family to gather and enjoy meals together.

Ceramic Tile Flooring

As far as kitchen flooring goes, hardwood still has the throne. However, technological innovations have made the runner-up flooring material, ceramic tiles, a more versatile option. Ceramic tile flooring now comes in a broad range of designs, styles, and sizes — you can even get tiles that look like hardwood now! Ceramic tiles are essentially blank canvases that can be used to emulate other flooring materials that are more visually appealing but less functional than ceramic tile in terms of maintenance and longevity.

Munz Construction has done a number of large projects for us at our home over the past 18 yrs. They have always done a great job. Their workers are good and very courteous. We have always felt very comfortable with them in our house, especially Phil and Jason. Steve and Pete are easy to work with and are responsive to questions/issues. Bryan is very helpful when you need to make selections for your projects. The company stands behind their work and provides quality in a timely fashion, which can't be said for a lot of other companies these days. We would definitely recommend them!

Munz Construction did an amazing job with our basement remodel. The entire team was so pleasant to work with. Everyone that has come to our home since the remodel has been thoroughly impressed with the design. It really was a great experience to work with everyone at Munz. I’d like to also add that my husband tends to be an “overspender” and I am the complete opposite... so from the very start of our project , the design team made sure we were both comfortable with all of our selections. They always showed numerous options and price points for different things. So in the end, my husband and I were both so happy with everything. Thanks Munz, we’ll definitely use you again.

I did a major renovation of a 40 year old house. While touching virtually every room, the most significant changes included creating a new custom kitchen by combining the existing kitchen with a small dining room, creating a new master bedroom and converting a small bedroom into a large new master bathroom. I had contacted several well known home renovation companies who either did not seem to be interested in the large project or did not seem to offer the “full service” and support I needed. Steve and Bryan spent all the time I needed to make me comfortable making all the design decisions – not an easy task since I am design challenged! Any issues that came up, as would be expected in a project this size, were addressed. In addition, everyone made living in the house during construction as comfortable as possible. I would also like to say that the attention to detail and the finishing work done by their people was remarkable. The final results are fantastic! Needless to say I would use them again for any project and would highly recommend Munz Construction.

Chris and his crew were amazing! They added an addition that "touched" every room in the house. His workers were kind, courteous, and respectful AND they got the job done in a timely manner with WONDERFUL results. We love our new addition. We have the BEST house on the block!!!!

We were gutting and remodeling an old house that needed major work but that we didn’t want to tear down. Given the time and cost involved, we were very deliberate with our choice of contractor. We are very glad we chose Munz Construction as dealing with all of their employees was a pleasure from Day One (and the project took about a year so we had lots of contact). They always suggested ways to cut costs, had good suggestions to modify the blueprints to our advantage and never pushed unnecessary ideas. The design team was especially helpful as their three-dimensional computer models really gave us good insight into the final product and allowed us to make pre-construction tweaks of which we otherwise would not have thought. Munz was also very good about fixing things without complaint. As we approach one year in our new house, we are very happy and also receive lots of compliments on the design and preservation of the house.

We are very pleased with Munz Construction. We had the front of our house framed for new windows, new siding, stucco removal, new gutters, lighting etc. They helped with design ideas upfront and the house looks amazing. Erich and his team were very pleasant, professional and detail oriented. We would definitely use them again for any additional work in the future.

Everyone at Munz that we had the pleasure of working with were wonderful. From the beginning of our project, until the end everyone worked so hard. We had a new room, bathroom, and a beautiful porch put on our house. We are extremely happy. I would highly recommend this company.

Had great experience with Pete, our site manager, as well as Jason (construction), Jack (electrician ), Dave (painter), and all of the other subcontractors. Very clean, professional, pleasant. I found the initial process of general design less than ideal. Having little experience with this process, I didn't feel as informed as I could have been. I expected there may be options in layout and design, but that was not the case. In fact, the original design presented to us didn't really show a layout at all, merely a word document of what would be done. I was slightly taken aback when, e.g., there was no option for any kind of linen storage in the bathroom as the design completely removed a large closet that we had in order to make room for a stall shower. It was assumed we would want a whirlpool tub, and we weren't really asked about that option. These kinds of things made me a little uncomfortable with going forward. To us, it was a very expensive job, and yet I felt like it was not considered an important one when we sat with the designer. We felt much more comfortable when Pete met with us to go over the job expectations. There were very few glitches along the way, and Pete handled each of these very professionally. The work as completed is very good, and we are very happy with the end result.
