So it’s time to remodel your kitchen. Sure, you can pin $5,000 light fixtures and custom Italian backsplashes to your “Dream Kitchen!!” board. But if you want to get real, you should take a look at how most Americans are remodeling their own kitchens.
Home Depot is the country’s largest home improvement retailer, so we looked at their top sellers to find out what kitchen trends are growing, and what people are actually buying.
Whether you're here to get inspiration or just make fun of how other people decorate, it's time to spy on your neighbor's new kitchen.
Copper is in—and so are farmhouse sinks
Buy the Sinkology Adams Farmhouse Sink in Antique Copper for $499 at Home Depot

Just like on HGTV, people want ceramic tiles with a natural wood look

Antique light fixtures add a warm touch
Buy the Globe Electric 3-Light Oil Rubbed Bronze and Glass Vintage Pendant for $77.85 at Home Depot

Gas ranges are so hot right now
Buy the Samsung gas range with convection for $1597.50 at Home Depot

Light, modern cabinetry is starting to take off—just like in Europe
Buy Genoa cabinetry from Home Decorators Collection at Home Depot
These Genoa cabinets from Home Decorators Collection have a flat, light grain wood exterior with recessed handles. They’re the #1 choice for people who don’t mind assembling cabinets themselves, and they wouldn’t be out of place in a kitchen in France or Italy, either.
