When you need to give your home a new look, choosing fashionable paint colors will update the living room almost instantly — but the kitchen can be a little trickier. If you have an outdated kitchen or a dysfunctional space, it can be difficult to navigate through how to change your kitchen.
Here is a look at the top 5 kitchen remodeling ideas and designs that will feature this year. Is the leading design trend for your kitchen on the list? Read on to find out!
Smart Homes Are a Huge Trend
Get ready for the sci-fi age, where you may control your appliances and faucets from a single hub. Did you forget your shopping list? Connect to your refrigerator for access to your grocery lists.
This trend is all about simplicity and function. Think stainless steel appliances, a minimalistic color palette, and plain tile backsplashes. Subway tiles blend in well with this decor style.
Forget the Boring White Kitchen
In 2020, we started seeing people rebel against generic colors like white and beige. Maximalist style, with rich colors and a blend of different textures and patterns, became a popular choice.
In the kitchen, this trend continues with bold blues, greens, navy blues, and even black. Use clear, rich gem-tone finishes on kitchen cabinets to pull off this luxe look. Think about drama and pair it with simple lines.
Clean, Open Lines
If the bold color look is not for you, focus instead on opening up the area and adding more kitchen lighting. Consider replacing upper cabinets with open shelves to clear the space.
You might also consider replacing the kitchen island with a floating edge countertop. This trick provides you with a greater illusion of space as there’s no solid cabinetry under the table. It’s also useful as an extra dining area.
Quartz Counters Get an Overhaul
Quartz is a versatile countertop material and is durable and easy to clean. With the trend towards using bolder colors on the cabinets, it makes sense to stick to neutrals with the countertops. Expect black granite finishes to make way for delicately veined marble and lighter colors.
The natural effects obtainable with this material make it easy to blend with other natural elements in the room. Natural stone, in particular, will be a bit hit this year. The Pantone colors for 2021 pair yellow and grey. The palette mixes particularly well with natural finishes and tones.
Timeless Styles With Pops of Color
For those not quite ready to commit to dark colors for kitchen cabinetry, combining a classic look with a hint of color here and there makes more sense.
This look is all about keeping a timeless look and being able to make small changes to bring the space together . You might, for example, change out the pendant lighting and curtains to incorporate more color. Pops of colorful ceramic tiles incorporated into the backsplash help you keep the maximalist look in check.
