You’re making three meals a day for seven days each week, washing more dishes than ever before. More than once, you’ve probably wished you could make some changes.

If so, here are some of the 2020 trends for kitchens, according to Homes & Gardens:
Pops of color
There are no rules when you go this route. Appliances come in many colors now, or you can incorporate color into cabinets or window treatments.
