Modern kitchen design trends 2021
The kitchen is the heart of your home. The modern kitchen design trends of 2021 can be incorporated into kitchens of all sizes and layouts. Here are four modern kitchen design trends of 2021:
Open shelves
Open shelves are perhaps the most trending kitchen design. It is practical and the most effortless way to decorate your kitchen walls. Put everything on display, from crystal glasses and coffee mugs and plates to dry ingredients and herbs. The recommended rule of thumb for this idea is to stick with one color scheme and avoid showcasing plastic picnic cutlery. Cement and wooden shelves are especially esthetically pleasing.
Colorful cabinetry
If open shelves are not to your liking, colorful cabinets might just be. The options are endless. Bright and bold cabinetry with plain white walls is very modern. Some might prefer darker colors, such as navy or perhaps a subtle and earthy forest green.
Wooden elements
Wood is a prevalent and durable material. Wooden countertops are a timeless trend. It goes with every style, from modern homes to vintage farmhouse kitchens. They are also easy to clean and maintain. Another idea is to add some wooden bar stools and pendant lights. Wood can be the primary material used to compliment cement, metal, and other materials.
Double island
If your kitchen area has enough floor space, a double island is a trend that you may want to incorporate into the design. One island is usually used as a workstation to prepare meals, while the other is generally considered a dining table. A second island will also make some space for appliances and an additional sink.
