FLUTED ISLANDS

 Midcentury design continues to dominate home decor, and kitchen islands are going back in time with fluted paneling, known as tambour. Canadian designer Rebekah Higgs (@diymom.ca) got the effect here with thin strips of upcycled maple and a bright paint (Paradise Found by PPG Paints) to make the texture pop. Pro tip: Use spacers to help keep the slats straight.

CORK ACCESSORIES

"Cork is the new MVP of kitchen materials," says Kate Doherty, market director at HGTV Magazine. "It's got eco cred-it's all natural and sustainably harvested. And cork is chic without trying too hard." Plus, there's nothing precious about it: Cork is both water-resistant and durable, and it dissipates heat like a boss, so it's great as a trivet or coaster.

WALLPAPERED PANTRIES

Tops on this year's kitchen wish list: a souped-up pantry, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association's 2023 trend report. Designers are coming through with the usual smart organization tricks but also with bold wallpapers that make the spaces way more exciting. "It kicks up the personality and makes unpacking pasta and paper towels a lot more fun!" says Houston pro organizer Meggie Mangione (@organizedlifedesign), who chose this cheery lemon pattern. Self-adhesive paper makes it an easy weekend project.
