2021 Kitchen Remodeling Trends: Kitchen As Command Central
Even if you didn’t bake your way into 2021, there’s no denying everyone made use of the kitchen in one way or another. Today’s kitchens must have enough room for the entire family and fulfill multiple tasks at once, sometimes at the same time. Balancing form and function with an emphasis on convenience, customization, and style is a top priority in 2021.
Dramatic Backsplashes
Classic and timeless neutral color palettes continue to dominate in the kitchen, but pops of color and pattern are cropping up to create a bold visual element. Show off some personality with subway tiles in earthy and moody hues, counter-to-ceiling stone-slab walls, or bright geometric shapes.
Suggested Products*: Daltile | Marble Field Tile Polished; Daltile | Ocean Jewels Accent Hexagon; Emser Tile | Express Glare Gloss; Emser Tile | Rhythem Hex Pattern Matte/Satin
Wood-Look Flooring
Get the look and feel of authentic hardwood flooring in the kitchen without the maintenance. Achieve a high-end aesthetic with luxury vinyl plank or luxury vinyl tile, from farmhouse-inspired bleached to luxe warm hues, that are waterproof, easy to clean, and scratch-resistant.
Suggested Products*: Harding Home LVP | Hammong Plank; Monument EVP | Dallington; Resista Plus H2O EVP | Avone
Connected Cuisine
The future is now, and it’s full of high design happening in the kitchen. And while tech-forward features like touchless faucets, voice-activated appliances, and integrated touch screens can’t cook and do the dishes (yet!), they make working in the kitchen easier, healthier, and fun.
Mixed Metals
The days of metal monogamy are over. Metal mixing is chic, modern, and ideal for those who can’t just pick one. For the most cohesive look, select one metal for each kitchen category—hardware, faucet, lighting, and appliances.
Suggested Products*: Atlas cabinet hardware | Kate Knob A200-WB; Top Knobs cabinet hardware | Appliance Pull TK67PC
Stylish Storage
More home-cooked meals mean more food and cookware that need putting away to keep clutter at bay. Larders are coming back as well as more creative storage solutions including larger structural spaces like walk-in pantries and butler’s pantries. And while open shelving is still popular and on-trend, expect to see a shift to closed cabinetry that extends to the ceiling for closed-door storage.
Suggested Products*: Decorá cabinets | Modesto 5-Piece; Homecrest cabinets | Dover; Kitchen Craft cabinets | Soho
Two-Toned Cabinets
Contrast cabinets add a touch of the unexpected and let you play with color without the commitment of going all in. A light neutral on top with a brighter hue on the bottom, color blocking with a wall of cabinets in an accent color, or a bright center island are just a few ways to incorporate this striking trend..Suggested Products*: Diamond cabinets | Anden 5-Piece; Kemper cabinets | Cotter; Omega cabinets | Puritan
2021 Bathroom Remodeling Trends: Swoon-Worthy Bath Spa-Cations
Baths are becoming quiet retreats for indulging in relaxing rituals and much-deserved zen. Enjoy vacation vibes by creating the ultimate resort experience at home that soothes and rejuvenates the mind and body.Modern Marble
While marble in the bathroom isn’t exactly novel, large-scale applications are cropping up that are luxurious and full of high drama. Walls of beautifully veined stone that traverse from floor to ceiling, full-marble vanities and showers, and contrasting marble tile floors serve as a take away from the day’s stress to a favorite getaway (at home).
Suggested Products*: Daltile | Marble Field Tile Polished; Emser Tile | Marble - M06S0N; James Martin vanities | De Soto 48" Single Vanity, Bright White With 3 Cm Carrara Marble Top
Abstract Tile
Curate a work of art underfoot with large- or small-scale tile. If the balance of the bathroom space is reserved for calming neutrals, flooring is an opportunity to experiment with color and personality. Think geometric shapes, a detailed motif, and color blocking to make a stylish statement.Suggested Products*: Daltile | Octagon & Dot Field Tile; Daltile | Stone A' La Mod Mosaic Block Random Blend; Emser Tile | Design Single Design; Emser Tile | Rhapsody
Floating Vanities
This popular feature in commercial and hospitality design has made its way to homes, and it’s easy to see why. Floating vanities and cabinets create a seamless and upscale look to any bath, and are made in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional. Their wall-mounted installation also opens up a room and creates the illusion of more space.
Wet Rooms
Nothing says day-spa like a luxurious wet room. A walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile is blissfully indulgent and a contemporary aging in place feature that helps prevent slips and falls. Complete the relaxation station experience with a waterfall shower head and stylish glass screen to catch water spray.Suggested Products*: Daltile | Continental Slate Floor Field Tile; Emser Tile | Slate Calibrated
Japandi Design
Purposeful comfort is at the forefront of the Japandi aesthetic, which combines Scandinavian utility with Japanese cozy minimalism (Japan + Scandi). It’s a mindset that emphasizes the investment in high-quality but fewer natural materials in soothing and subdued palettes. Think combinations of soft curves and clean lines—soaking tubs with simple silhouettes, handle-free cabinets for a streamlined look, textural elements, creamy whites, and warm woods.
Suggested Products*: Daltile | Fabrique Linear Options; Emser Tile | Pacific Rim Engineered Stone Mixed Sizes; Resista Plus H2O hardwood | Beech Mountain; Schrock cabinets | Prestley
