If you want a kitchen space that you can count on to boost your mood, enhance functionality and value, and spark jealously in the eyes of friends and neighbours, then look no further. Our list of some of the hottest kitchen design trends in 2021 includes everything you’ll need to transform your current cooking space from drab to fab.
Check out some of the best things to include in your upcoming kitchen renovation:
Engineered Stone Benchtops
When it comes to getting kitchen bench tops in Perth, you’ll find that there are a wide range of options available. Engineered stone, in particular, has been increasing in popular over these past few years. Why, you ask? Well, because it offers homeowners the strength, longevity and beautiful look of natural stone, but without the expensive price tag that often comes with it. Aside from this, engineered stone benchtops are also stain and bacteria-resistant, making them perfect for kitchen environments which are important to keep clean and hygienic. Engineered stone can be made to look like a variety of different materials, with a versatile range of colours, patterns and finished available. Currently, homeowners are loving the look of neutral toned benchtops such as white, ivory, black and grey because they can fit in with almost any type of kitchen design!
Bringing the Outdoors In
Self-isolation and social distancing measures were a challenge for most in 2020. The majority of us longed to escape the dreary four walls of our home and venture out once again to enjoy all the beautiful aspects of nature we most definitely took for granted before. Bearing this in mind, your kitchen redesign deserves to incorporate some elements of the outside world, whether it’s bringing in some indoor pot plants or installing large windows and doors that can open your cooking space up to the natural lighting and fresh breeze from outside. Embracing nature within our kitchen is important; after all, most of the ingredients stored in our fridge or pantry originate from the ground. Aside from this, being around nature reduces stress and promotes relaxation- a state we encourage all to be in coming into 2021.
Multi-Functional Islands
Kitchen islands are pretty amazing, right? They have the ability to open your entire kitchen up, plus they can be used for a variety of different tasks. Or, perhaps even all of them? Yes, bigger and better kitchen islands are what everyone’s here for in 2021. This unlocks more space for you to cook food, serve food, and eat food. If desired, you can choose to install sinks, stoves, dishwashers, or any other appliances on your kitchen island. On the other hand, leaving your kitchen island bare is still worth it; you’ll have much more room to store other objects and utensils, or to dine with your family and friends.
