We wait for it with baited breath every year…

 

Modern kitchen galley featuring warm wood cabinets, a gold faucet, dark tile floors, and a glass door opening to a balcony with a hanging egg chair.

 

The Kitchen of the Year winners from Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles! And this one from the archives is a favorite! We don’t know about you, but kitchens are some of our favorite spots in the home, and we love seeing what’s new and what’s next–but also what traditions are still firmly in tact. Because Southern design is always a little bit about tradition. Even in the kitchen.

AH&L always delivers the best of the best, and these kitchens are no exception. Want to see what’s new–and what’s sticking around for another season? These are some of our takeaways:

  1. Lucite bar pulls. We’re obsessed with this sleek take on an old favorite. Still chic, but a little subtler.

 

 

2. Woven bar stools. And thank goodness. My Serena & Lily ones are still amazing!

 

 

3. Brass! We’ve always been fans of mixing and matching metals, and we’re loving seeing more brass in these stylish kitchen. We hope this trend sticks around, because we both just put brass pulls in our kitchens. 

 

 

4. Dark painted cabinets. We think of ourselves as being drawn toward light and bright, but we’re loving dark painted cabinets. Gray and navy are our favorites.

 

 

5. Mixing and matching. Who says the kitchen has to be all or nothing? Wood cabinets and painted islands are the best of both worlds.
