Our kitchens have probably never worked the hardest since 2020, as we were obliged to spend more time at home (sometimes more than we'd like) than ever before. Social distancing allowed us to use the space to adapt to a new way of living-- and closed off most restaurants, so we didn't really have a choice. True enough, we learned of the importance of having a vast and functional kitchen, and now our 2021 kitchens are evolving.
Are you ready to start the year with a new look for your kitchen? Be inspired to make the right style choice for your abode with a peek at the 2021 trends in kitchen design:
Marble is in
The time has come for strongly-veined marble. This type of stone is a look that screams unmissable luxury and next-level style, and it's making a significant comeback in the design world, topping the charts as a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Invest in its durability, classic, and eye-catching attributes, and own a kitchen that's able to withstand passing trends.

Get some Wood finishes
Wood may have been out of fashion for a while, but many homeowners will be happy to know that it's enjoying a bit of a revival this 2021! Subtle-grained ash, which is paler than oak and walnut, is a great option to pair with man-made stones.
Dark gives that drama we need
Dark colors may be overlooked purely as an "accent" color, but this 2021, black walls, cabinetry, and work surfaces are having a moment! Enjoy the liveable, luxe, and inviting aura of the color Black and pair it with rustic, textured woods for your homely kitchen!

Pop of colors are perfect
Your 2021 kitchen is rife with color opportunities, so throw that paint-color pairing rulebook out of the window! Choosing a color is such a personal experience, and a homeowner needs to determine how much of a permanent commitment he's willing to make. Start choosing a color for your wall, and make sure that it'll keep you feeling good long term!
Handless designs look sleek and classy
The latest designs are all about multi-tasking with a paired-back look. As technological advances in push-open and close doors have made it possible to dispense handles in both wall and base cabinets, handless designs for your kitchen will be one of the main preferences for its sleeker and streamlined look.
Pantries are the new kitchen staples
Pantries have established themselves as one of the must-have items in modern homes, and it continues to keep its place as a kitchen staple. Having a pantry makes sure that all the food goods are in one place, and the need for numerous cupboards will no longer be existent. It will, in turn, lead to a more relaxed environment perfect for open plan living areas.
Clever storages are essential
Clever storages are a welcome addition to any design choice due to the practicality it offers, especially for those with smaller kitchens. It serves as a design and a practical trend, especially for people who choose storages like corner larders and bi-fold dressers, which efficiently utilizes the space given.
More metallics, please
A by-product of metallics in the kitchen is the demand for well-executed quality materials that don’t just look good, but have integrity, too. However, one must refrain from using metallic finishes sprayed on wood as a substitute for real metals that anyone can work with sensitively to bring out their natural beauty.
Painted kitchens are back
2021 is the revival for hand-painted kitchens as they wear well, age better, and are repairable in ways that a factory-applied laminate cannot match. Its almost limitless choice of colors allows homeowners to free rein in self-expression, whether you're aiming for a contemporary, country, or urban kitchen look. You're also able to re-paint if you want a change or update in the future.
Pendant lighting is love
Many do not realize that kitchen pendant lighting is more than just a practical addition-- it's also a decorative feature over worktop spaces! While lighting is key to any kitchen design scheme, exploring the use of pendant lighting in different ways will add the right drama and class to your 2021 kitchen!
