From marble-clad backsplashes to mixed warm woods and streamlined cabinetry, the kitchen is an ever-evolving space. This essential heart-of-the-home fluxes with our changing lifestyles, functionality needs, and storage demands. Plus, a modern kitchen remodel is one of the top home improvement projects that can drastically increase the value of your lake home. So, what\u2019s on trend for 2023? We went to kitchen expert Cristie Schlosser, RID, ASID, owner of Schlosser Design Group, LLC<\/a> in Dallas, TX, for her top picks. Cristie is a seasoned design expert and the former president of the North Texas Plains Chapter of the National Kitchen & Bath Association<\/a>, the world\u2019s leading trade association for the kitchen and bath industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI immediately feel a space when I enter it,\u201d she says. \u201cInterior design is very intuitive for me. It is about function and flow first\u2014and style follows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sculleries & Butler\u2019s Pantries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love entertaining, a scullery or butler\u2019s pantry is an ideal addition to your home. Plus, it is one of the top kitchen remodel trends for 2023. Typically located just off the kitchen, this space offers a place to discreetly store dishes on open shelves for easy access. \u201cYou can even opt to install a second sink and dishwasher that keeps the clutter out of the main kitchen area,\u201d says Cristie. \u201cWith an open-concept floor plan, a butler\u2019s pantry or scullery greatly improves your ease of entertaining because the heavy work is done behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scullery or butler\u2019s pantry is a great space for caterers to prep for your special events. It also gives the family another cozy spot for grabbing a morning coffee and light breakfast fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk-In Pantries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the butler\u2019s pantry, a walk-in pantry is also on the must-have<\/em> list for the modern kitchen. \u201cOpen pantries that you can walk into and keep all your small appliances on shelves that can easily be seen and reached enhances the cooking experience,\u201d says Cristie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, a beverage refrigerator offers extra space to store cold drinks for family and guests. In addition, walls of open shelving offer plenty of room for dishes, utensils, cookware, and dry goods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snack Stations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A snack bar or station is a perfect option for a home theater or a large open kitchen. You can use a series of baskets, containers, and shelving systems to stash chips, nuts, candy, and popcorn\u2014along with a built-in microwave at counter height placed near open counter space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe number-one reason to include a snack bar in your lake home is to accommodate your guests,\u201d says Cristie. \u201cMany lake homeowners have visitors for long weekends and holidays, and it\u2019s great to let guests feel at home without asking for a snack or drink.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one was designed in a chic gray palette for a movie room and includes a stainless-steel stove, range hood, and refrigerator, and a microwave drawer installed beneath white quartz countertops. A dramatic black marble backsplash complements the dark gray cabinetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-Wall Filtered Water Stations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlong with today\u2019s trend of using refillable water bottles, I love the in-wall water filter,\u201d says Cristie. \u201cThis makes it super-easy to refill your bottles, and it can be installed close to an outdoor exit. One of our favorites is the ezH2O Liv Built-in Filtered Water Dispenser from Elkay<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenient Coffee Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another kitchen remodel trend must-have is an independent coffee bar that\u2019s conveniently located and doesn\u2019t disrupt other kitchen prep work. \u201cThis coffee and drink station includes an under-counter beverage fridge and microwave so family and friends can easily access them at any time,\u201d says Cristie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coffee bar, designed by Schlosser Design Group, is outfitted with elegant white marble accented with soft gray cabinetry. Brushed nickel hardware coordinates with the sleek aesthetic, and extra drawers and overhead cabinets provide storage space for table linens, utensils, and decorative accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
