The best way to determine what’s going to be in vogue for interior design is to check out  the latest trends in consumer buying.  And the first thing that comes to mind for me are

Apple Iphones and Ipads which seem to be increasing in popularity.  These high tech gadgets come in a range of gorgeous colors including a classic white so they’re perfect for adding a little excitement in the home.

That’s why I believe Apple’s influence has infiltrated our kitchens from the bold colors in cabinetry and tabletop appliances to the revamped white kitchen appliances that are starting to make an appearance like Whirlpool’s new White Ice.  I love their sleek almost glass like appearance and they blend seamlessly into the classic all white kitchen.

Other kitchen trends to watch include induction cooktops that keep up with our demands for speed, integrated appliances that hug the cabinetry, transitional style designs with sleeker cabinets, and less upper cabinets overall.
