Over the last year with more people spending time at home, the kitchen has been our home's command center. It is where every meal is created, work from home Zoom calls take place, homework is completed, and most importantly where we reconnect with loved ones. All of these and more make your kitchen a prime place to invest in. Here are some of the biggest trends and new kitchen ideas in 2021:
Tile in More Places
Tile is not just for backsplashes anymore. Tile can be used on all of the walls in the kitchen and go up to the ceiling! This is a great idea for those who love neutral kitchens but want to create more visual interest and further layer their space. You can also add some hand-painted tile work or create a continuation of your backsplash around the room, which can make your space look bigger.
Moody Kitchens
The past decade has been all about white, bright kitchens but this year there has been a shift, and cabinets and countertops are going dark. We are seeing white kitchens take the backseat while palettes like black marble, earthy walnut, and midnight greens take over. Black walls, cabinetry, and work surfaces are luxe and inviting. When combined with textured wood, it adds a rustic, homely charm.
Walk-In Pantry Cupboards
This year it’s all about creating a well-organized, beautiful space that brings peace of mind - and a walk-in pantry is an ideal way of doing that. All your dry goods are stored in one place and not scattered around in cupboards, allowing you to be more organized. More than dry goods, a walk-in pantry can be used to hold small appliances or even as a wine cellar!
Fancy Fixtures & Finishes
When it comes to making changes in the kitchen, smaller projects like upgrading the fixtures and finishes can still have a drastic impact. Cabinet pulls, sinks, faucets, countertops, and more are available in a wide choice of colors, finishes, and designs that can increase the aesthetic impact of your kitchen.
Ditching Stainless Steel
If you are looking to upgrade your appliances this year, consider something other than the typical stainless steel look. In 2021, more and more homeowners are opting for appliances in different colors. By doing this, you can seamlessly integrate any appliance into your kitchen and make the appliance almost blend into your cabinets. This makes your kitchen appear larger and more open.
