Looking to renovate your kitchen? Check out the top 5 trends for kitchen designs of 2015.

1. Furniture- The furniture of your kitchen is the biggest thing that’s going to catch your guest’s attention besides your appliances. The current trend that’s happening is having a personal, warm, and welcoming kitchen. Go for those beautiful dark, cherry wood cabinets and shelving. Turning your kitchen into something like your living room makes it nice to be in and enjoy prepping your family’s meals
2.   Open Shelving- Gone are the closed cabinet doors! With open shelves it makes your kitchen look warm and lived in. Also with the easily accessible shelves it’s still totally function for you and your family. When your children use to leave the doors open and you’d have to dodge them. No worries! You never have to worry about the cabinet doors again.      
   
3.   Modern/Traditional- Many homes are now switching over to combining modern and traditional styles in the kitchen. It makes your kitchen sleek, but also very homey. You can feel free to mix the materials in your kitchen such as: having wood cabinets and marble counter tops to even having stainless steel appliances in your kitchen with wooden furniture. It makes it your own personal space for just about everything you and your family need.  
   
4.  Textures- Imagine walking into your home and seeing ridges on your counter. You’re asking yourself “Is that really ridges or just some form of an optical illusion?” Go on and touch it. Textures are the next biggest thing in kitchen designs. It makes people want to touch where it’s textured and it also adds more depth to your kitchen when using different textures.  
   
5.   No wall cabinets- Having no wall cabinets means that your kitchen will look bigger. Now, having no wall cabinets is not for everyone, but it gives you the illusion of space. You’ll also have more room to set up some of your beautiful paintings that you may have gotten from a local Anna Maria Island artist.

A Few Top Things to do on Anna Maria Island

One of the best things to do while vising Anna Maria Island is riding your bike. There are bike lanes throughout most of the island and there are rarely any hills to have to go over. Using a bike is a great way of getting from place to place. You don’t have to bother with any of the traffic and you can easily lock your bike at any bike rack located at most of the businesses. Riding your bike to the beach is great too! You don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot! All you have to do is put your beach items in the basket, bike to the beach location you love, lock it up, and now you’re ready to enjoy the beach.

Anna Maria Island’s beach is stunning. Enjoy the warm Florida sunshine and slight island breeze while resting on the white, sugary sands. Much of the island’s real estate gives opportunity to gulf front and waterfront homes as well as beach access points. Take a bike ride up to the Historic Anna Maria City Pier. The walk to the restaurant on the gulf is beautiful with the view of the Skyway Bridge, local fishermen, and wildlife such as dolphins or manatee. You can sit inside or outside to enjoy the views of the gulf. The food is delicious! Local favorites are the Fish & Chips dish, Shrimp basket, Crab cake Croissant, and the Grouper Sandwich. Occasionally there is also a jewelry shop outside the restaurant’s doors; so, feel free to take a look and find you may find something you like.

While you’re at the north end of Anna Maria Island there are tons of little shops to visit as well as some great food to try. There are boutiques, souvenirs, and more! Two Scoops, a local favorite for ice cream is nestled in a little stretch of business just outside of the city pier. Two Scoops has tons of different flavors for ice cream that you can choose from. If you want that waffle cone bowl- go for it! They have that too! They also have snacks, drinks, and a couple things you can buy as souvenirs. The best part about Two Scoops is that you can enjoy your ice cream outside looking out at the magnificent turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Throughout Anna Maria Island there is a free trolley that you can hop on and see the sight of Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, and Coquina Beach. With so much to offer this little island is perfect for your home away from home.
