Building a new custom home instead of buying an existing one gives you a significant advantage. You can customize your house according to your needs and style preferences. Whether it is a two-shower head bathroom or an extra-large living room, the creative freedom to personalize a home is priceless.
The most significant room you can build from the ground up is the kitchen. In the kitchen, you cook meals and spend time with your family. It has become the room that brings everyone together — the center of warmth and camaraderie. Hence, a poorly-designed one will not be able to unify a home. It can lead to dissatisfaction and spending less quality time with the family. It is vital to have a well-designed kitchen that blends aesthetics with function and technology.
Looking to spruce up your kitchen? Take a look at the rising trends of kitchen designs for 2021.
Smart Kitchens
The Smart Kitchen started gaining traction even back in 2020. Technology has worked its way to people’s kitchens, and it is not going away anytime soon. Today, sensor-equipped faucets can detect hands and will automatically turn on and off. Fridges can now detect whether you are running low on supplies. You can even control your kitchen’s lighting with a mere tap on your smart device.
With so many things technology can achieve, tech-integrated kitchens are becoming more accessible.
Dark and Monochromatic Cabinets
Traditional kitchen designs often used white cabinets for their classic look. However, there is a steady rise in popularity with dark cabinets and cool, monochromatic color schemes. Grays and blacks are becoming the go-to colors when it comes to sleek and modern kitchen designs.
Homeowners looking to renovate their kitchen find themselves drawn to darker tones since they work well with bright pops of accent colors. Jewel tones such as emerald green, plum, and navy blue work well with neutral dark colors.
Hidden Storage
Of all the rooms in your house, the kitchen is the one that stores the most supplies. From appliances to tools to food, these are not the things you necessarily want to have cluttering your work area. A discreet and organized storage system is a must for all homeowners.
Using hidden shelves and compartments that can store the toaster and kettle out of sight, keeping countertops neat and organized.
Built-In Appliances
Convenience and practicality are the two main ingredients when it comes to modern kitchen designs. There is a growing need for appliances that make cooking and cleaning easier without taking up too much space. Appliances that can blend seamlessly, such as microwave drawers and induction stoves, can give your kitchen a modern twist.
Open Concept Living
Wide-open spaces have become a popular trend for the past couple of years in home construction. The kitchen, living room, and dining area had not escaped the Open Concept movement.
The Open Concept Living merges these three areas into one open space. This design creates the illusion of one giant space by cleverly using plants, built-in appliances, and furniture as the room dividers. The kitchen blends easily with the other two areas, encouraging more family time. You can cook in the kitchen and watch the game at the same time with your family and friends.
