The experts’ opinion to find out which kitchen trends will be big in 2021.

With cool new kitchen brands popping up and lots of innovative design ideas and clever twists on old appliance designs on display in kitchen showrooms across the country, there are plenty of on-trend looks and state-of-the-art appliances to pick from.

Below, we look at the biggest trends and new kitchen ideas in 2021.

A Fresh Take On Mid Century

Bright whites contrast with rich timbers and soft curves to lend a modern mid-century flair to contemporary kitchens. 

Dark walnut cabinetry works to keep the look simple with smart bespoke detailing. Tall white cabinets and light marble splash-backs and countertops draw the eye up creating an illusion of space, keeping the look fresh and of the moment.

The luxury of marble 

It’s the time of strongly veined marble, the busier the better for unmissable luxury and next-level style. If there’s one thing that’s storming the style charts and shaking up interiors, it’s the return of marble.

Marbles with naturally strong veining add statement value and create a textural contract between other polished surfaces, metals, and woods. Within the kitchen, Natalia uses marble to create an eye-catching sink or a kitchen island.

Modern kitchen wood finishes

Out of fashion for a while, wood is now enjoying a bit of a revival. These kitchen cabinets use subtle-grained ash, paler than oak or walnut, to pick out the warm tones in manmade stone.

Consider attractive woods such as oak and walnut, or a painted finish, which offers a different spectrum of looks. Alternatively, you can combine naturally with painted finishes in different parts of the room. Wood is generally a more expensive option than other cabinetry choices.
