From cooking to conversations, all the way to homework help and parties, the kitchen truly is the heart of the home. Over time, the average American spends an average of 7.7. days in the kitchen each year. With such a long time being spent in the kitchen, it’s no wonder you would want it to look as on trend and “Instagrammable” as possible. With so many colors and features to choose from, it can be hard to know what’s a fad and which kitchen design trends are here to stay. Instagram is a hub of aesthetic kitchen styles, but which are the most popular?

A new report by Wren Kitchens has analyzed more than 500,000 Instagram posts in the U.S. to determine the top Instagrammable kitchen design trends for styles, features and color themes. See the trends that are here to stay below:
