As we’ve all spent more time than ever in our homes, many of us are now investing in refurbishing and decorating our living spaces. Most of us have gone from making the occasional meal to cooking three courses a day in our kitchens and if you’re looking to transform your kitchen, we’ve got the top trends for 2021 you need to look out for:
Marvellous marble
Marble was huge in 2020 and is here to stay in 2021. Associated with a real luxe look, marble can add an elegant touch to your kitchen and doesn’t need to overwhelm the space if you go for a soft cream colour option. If you’re nervous about going all out with marble worktops, consider a patterned glass splashback instead to add a subtle touch of marble effect to your kitchen.
Dark drama
Along with marble, deep rich navy and inky blacks also have become associated with a luxury feel. Don’t be scared of dark colours, as when mixed with the right textures (think soft woods and pops of rose gold) it won’t overwhelm the space and will make your kitchen look incredibly sophisticated.
Statement lighting
Originally just for dining rooms and lounges, bold pendant lighting in kitchens will be a big trend for 2021. If you want to keep the main decor of your kitchen simple, you can use lighting to really add some drama to the space. If you have an island in your kitchen, you can transform it with some fantastic pendant lights and simple stools to make it an area your guests will want to hang out in whilst you cook.
A golden touch
Options for taps and sinks have come such a long way and you no longer have to feel limited! Gold accessories will continue to be a big trend this year, so explore adding a statement to your sink with gold taps, especially if you are mixing them with dark colours or marble for a glamorous look.
Colour pops
If big, bold design isn’t for you, there are simpler ways to add flair to your kitchen. Keeping your main units neutral, choose one or two bright colours for your kitchen accessories to add a splash of brightness to your kitchen without a long term commitment. Think white cupboards and worktops with beautifully bright teal and orange accessories to add some cheer. You could also opt for a brightly coloured splashback to drop some colour into a neutral kitchen.
