Need a new kitchen look but aren’t sure where to begin? Following a few popular trends for 2021 may set you in the right direction.
Stainless farmhouse sinks. Flexible in design and function, double-basin stainless steel farmhouse sinks are back in style, with several finish options available for ultra-modern, minimalist kitchens or retro-Americana looks with reclaimed barnwood. Praised for their durability and utility, these sinks make a bold style statement while also offering tremendous space for washing hands, food or dishes.
Wood you? Speaking of reclaimed barnwood, many new kitchens are being built now with dark wood or simulated wood islands and cabinets. The timelessness of wood and its durability will give your kitchen years of wear, and if set against ever-popular wood-grained ceramic floor tiles, they’ll offer a floor-to-ceiling theme that’s hard to beat.
Cabinet comeback. One item that many designers recently eschewed is cabinetry, which is now making a roaring re-entrance with seamless looks in countertop-to-ceiling varieties or more traditional arrangements. These looks, which often use touch-style opening and closing, offer a clean and refined look that saves on fixtures but also makes cleaning faster and easier.
Light it up. Tired of traditional recessed or track lighting? Try dropping a light bar over your island or breakfast nook. This type of arrangement offers great style and farther-reaching light than other styles set closer to the ceiling but won’t break the bank, either.
Lots of choices await kitchen re-doers at all budget levels. Start looking around today: You may find a brand-new kitchen look easier and more accessible than you imagined.
