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.

Instagram is a hub of aesthetic kitchen styles, but which are the most popular?
