5 Can't-Miss 2021 Remodeling Trends That Will Have You Craving a New Kitchen

The kitchen is still the heart of the home. Your family spends a lot of time there, so why not make it the dream space you have always wanted? Here are five kitchen trends that can make your kitchen your favorite room in 2021 and beyond.

1. Decorative Range Hoods

Classic stainless steel hoods are now sharing the spotlight. Range hoods are becoming artistic statement pieces and the focal point of the kitchen. Two directions are trending:

• Make it stand out with mixed metals or a pop of color.
• Blend it in by building the hood into the surrounding architecture, or skip the hood with a retractable downdraft vent, which works well on islands.

2. Walk-In Pantries

A walk-in pantry keeps your kitchen clean and clutter free, especially in an open-concept home. It can even replace upper cabinets for an airy, open feel. A pantry can be as small or large as you like and can hold ingredients and small appliances, or double as a wine cellar, cookbook library or quiet hideaway.

3. Open Shelving

Upper cabinets are still a staple, but more homeowners are choosing open shelves to make the kitchen feel larger and more open. Shelves keep everyday dishes within easy reach and let you display favorite mugs, glassware, cookbooks, antiques and art. Choose glass, metal or chunky wood, or mix shelves with cabinets.

4. Statement Kitchen Islands

Islands keep growing in popularity and function. They are the center of activity for gatherings, meal prep, cooking and dining, and they offer smart hidden storage as kitchens lose upper cabinets.

Make your island a statement with a bold paint color or colorful stools. Just be sure it fits the room with enough walking space around it. Learn more in why kitchen island design matters.

5. Attractive Organization

Storage that looks good is a top priority. Open shelves and wall or backsplash hooks for pots, pans and utensils create a perfectly imperfect look that is both beautiful and easy to use. In open floor plans, your kitchenware can double as decor.
