The pandemic has made us rediscover our homes, and spaces like the kitchen have given them an unusual role. Mobility restrictions and constant confinements have pushed us to fine-tune these spaces where in addition to cooking, we eat breakfast, eat, do homework …
If you are thinking of renovating your kitchen in 2021, we have spoken with the Spanish Kitchen Furniture Association to find out all the trends that are going to take place … and these are the keys they have given us.
Multifunction kitchens
In 2021, multifunction kitchens are going to be one of the trends that we will see the most. Kitchens in which in addition to cooking or eating, they also allow us to work or study. In this sense, kitchens open to the living room will continue to be the protagonists in 2021 thanks to the comfort and versatility they allow. The open shelving to provide a feeling of spaciousness, as well as extra storage space.
Along the same lines, AMC states that they have detected an increase in demand for large tables and islands. Some elements that are requested more because when spending more time at home, and the kitchen is also our office or school, we need larger work surfaces. In the same way, ergonomics and comfort in kitchen chairs are also gaining weight.
But without a doubt, the most prominent trend for 2021 in kitchen distribution is the trinomial kitchen-living room terrace. Confinement has pushed us to value the exterior areas of our home, and the integration of patios, terraces and gardens with the kitchen will take center stage, bringing light to this room while making it possible to enjoy cooking or working outdoors. .
Natural materials in furniture
Ecodesign and sustainable furniture is a trend that has come to stay. And the kitchens do not escape this eco current. In this sense, recycled and ecological natural materials Handcrafted treated will be key this year. Among them, the wood will stand out, in all its varieties: woods with very marked veins and knots, of medium tonality, laminated in natural oak, or noble woods such as chestnut.
With regard to the countertops, the porcelain material with grain stands out and in the chairs the monochrome textile upholstery. Other materials that will not be missing this year in our kitchens are marbles, bamboo, glass and metal.
Contrasting colors
2021 is going to be a year of contrasts, and this trend will also be reflected in kitchens through color. Both white and pastel colors are a trend, such as black, anthracite gray, graphite or navy blue, all with an extra matte finish.
For those who want to connect with nature, terracotta, greenish, orange or intense blue tones will also be a trend in the kitchen. The fashionable color in 2021 according to Pantone, Ultimate Gray and Yellow Illuminating, will also be reflected in kitchens.
The chairs will give the note of color this year, since upholstery in soft and cheerful tones such as blue or pink are a trend. Also, antibacterial fabrics are on the rise. These textiles are treated against bacteria, abrasion and stains, making them perfect for the kitchen.
Simplicity in furniture design
In the furniture field, in 2021 the most successful kitchen cabinets will be those with clean lines and light aesthetics, equipped with flat or round structural collar.
This simplicity in the lines will be complemented with details such as the handles. This year, they will take the discreet shooters in black, satin nickel, pewter and antique brass, always matte finish.
Innovation and design in household appliances
Following the line of simple furniture, in appliances we will also see minimalist aesthetics and functional and ergonomic designs. The colors and materials will not be risky, predominantly classics such as white, black, glass and metal.
In addition, Smart Kitchens They will gain ground in kitchens thanks to the integration of the latest technological innovations, which also promote energy efficiency and sustainability. From the AMC they point out that household appliances are becoming more intuitive, simplifying cooking and making tasks faster.
