So, if you have been dreaming of sleek new countertops for your kitchen or you’re looking for some design inspiration for a little spruce up, here are a few kitchen trends for 2021 to consider.
Light Color Quartz Countertops
Light color quartz countertops lead the way for both kitchen and bathroom vanities. According to the NKBA, quartz countertops are preferred by 58% of consumers, remaining the overwhelming material choice for the next three years. Why is that? Quartz kitchen countertops come in a variety of stunning designs while also being super durable and easy to care for. Quartz countertops also give you a great return on your investment in a kitchen remodel.
Smart Kitchen Design Trends
Use of technology in the kitchen continues to grow. One of the biggest trends you may see in 2021 is homeowners and designers making kitchens more energy efficient and technologically advanced. High on the list of additions were various detectors for flooding, electric power failures and gas leaks as well as voice-activated lighting controls.
Large Kitchen Islands
When looking towards what will be trending in 2021, layouts that allow homeowners to accommodate working from home and areas where kids will be able to complete their schoolwork will likely remain strong. L-shaped designs with large islands that also function as dining tables were among one of the major layout themes identified.

You did a great job of showing how to use smart kitchen design trends wisely and efficiently. Since we’ve been using more and more devices and appliances in our home recently, I figured the kitchen would be one place that could use some updating to accommodate this new technology. If I can find a new kitchen construction contractor in the area, I’ll definitely make sure I ask for these kinds of attachments.
