I&#8217;m getting chills as I type these words! It&#8217;s a new year, a renewed sense that things can be better and hopefully more beautiful. And for some of you lucky readers, a bit of that beauty may be coming from a kitchen remodel or even a light refresh. That&#8217;s where this post can actually be helpful. Though, if you are simply looking for general design news, that&#8217;s just as valid:) Everyone is welcome. I also feel inclined to say that while this is labeled as a &#8220;trend post,&#8221; we focus on design ideas that we love and don&#8217;t think will be &#8220;out&#8221; in a few years. Plus, regardless of how &#8220;2026&#8221; something may be, if it&#8217;s done well, it will look awesome forever. So without further ado, welcome to EHD&#8217;s 2026 Kitchen Trends Picks&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stainless Steel Kitchens (And Accents)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1670\" height=\"2505\" src=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-393831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41.jpg 1670w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41-836x1254.jpg 836w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_41-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1670px) 100vw, 1670px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">design by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lam-studio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">la.m studio<\/a> | photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alexisarmanet\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alexis armane<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have talked about this one in the past, but now more than ever, I am CONVINCED we will see stainless steel kitchens everywhere this year and beyond. And as you can see above and below, these kitchens are not cold, sterile designs. They are chic, fresh, and mixed with beautiful materials. I mean, burlwood walls, matte stainless steel cabinets, and marble tiled checkered floors??! Not to mention that incredible chandelier, which may be a new goal for my kitchen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lam-studio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LA.M Studio<\/a> created such a stunning space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1670\" height=\"1253\" src=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_1.jpg\" alt=\"kitchen trends\" class=\"wp-image-393829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_1.jpg 1670w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_1-836x627.jpg 836w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_1-267x200.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1670px) 100vw, 1670px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">design by <a href=\"https:\/\/keepstudio.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keep studio<\/a> | photo by alexander william<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This unreal kitchen by <a href=\"https:\/\/keepstudio.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keep Studio<\/a> completely flips the &#8220;hide your appliances&#8221; on its head and takes it a step further. All of the appliances are stainless steel, which then match all of the stainless steel drawers. The mix of cool-toned wood and steel feels both unique and effortless.

She didn&#8217;t lean hard into the stainless steel vibe but did add that awesome modern backsplash. It adds a juicy amount of contrast to the overall style of the space, but also balances with the appliances. Maybe an additional &#8220;kitchen trend&#8221; is that stainless steel appliances are back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DSXfir6jhKZ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I mean, it&#8217;s already happening! Choosing a colorful stone can feel like a huge risk because stone and fabrication aren&#8217;t cheap (or returnable). But green is a color that&#8217;s also more or less a neutral depending on the tone chosen. It goes with so much and is visually calming. Would this kitchen have been pretty with a white stone? Yes. Is it far more interesting and beautiful with the green? I think, YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1422\" src=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_44.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-393860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_44.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_44-836x1101.jpeg 836w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_44-768x1011.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Emily-Henderson_Biggest-Trends_Kitchen-Trends_2026_44-152x200.jpeg 152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">render by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_finchstudio_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">finch studio<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a render by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_finchstudio_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Finch studio<\/a> that I really love.

I just love the green on green look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a debate on whether Rosso Levanto marble(red marble) was on trend, and I couldn&#8217;t find it in enough kitchens. I absolutely think yes for smaller areas like bathrooms and pieces of furniture like accent tables, but for kitchens, I&#8217;m not totally convinced yet. I feel sure about green, but will happily be wrong for red:) I guess only time will tell. Oh, and we&#8217;re definitely keeping our eyes on butler pantries, too. We&#8217;ll check back in for our midyear kitchen trends report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading, and hope it was fun! Any thoughts?? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love you, mean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Opening Image Credits: Design by <a href=\"https:\/\/keepstudio.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keep Studio<\/a> | Photo by Alexander William<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We thought that it was only right to have our first official post of the year be one of the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":393923,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4327,2566,4306,4328],"tags":[3024,113],"class_list":["post-393824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-design-category","category-trends","category-kitchen","category-rooms-category","tag-design-trends","tag-kitchen"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/129"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393824"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":393974,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393824\/revisions\/393974"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
