The kitchen trend 2021: a kitchen with style
Gone are the days of the closed kitchen in which we were content to cook: a living room, the kitchen is also a room that we take pleasure in revealing. Because in 2021, it is more stylish than ever. A natural, minimalist, architectural atmosphere … we bet on a cuisine that has character.
The Tropical trend even in the kitchen: and why not? But be careful: there is no question of doing things by halves! We fall for the essential jungle-style wallpaper, and we bet on an authentic wood effect. The height of chic: adopt an exotic essence, which we pride ourselves on contrasting with unexpected materials, such as the glass with the half-glitter, half-metallic effect of this almost high-tech splashback.
Even if it means having temperament, the kitchen takes over the living room. The 2021 kitchen is therefore invited into the living room. And the islet, which was already tending to take on an XXL scale last season, is becoming more imposing than ever. Between raw wood and natural stone, the kitchen has a very natural spirit, which combines perfectly with a sharp design.
Graphic lines inspired by the 1920s, timeless terrazzo and trendy colors: neo art deco cuisine was first tiptoed, but 2021 could well be its year! And it is inseparable from one of the great colors of the moment: the sublime terracotta shade.
If the 2021 kitchen displays a pronounced style, it is also happy to renew the codes. Between workshop atmosphere and nature spirit, why choose? We love the solid wood table – preferably recycled, which ends up creating an authentic and raw space.
The kitchen trend 2021: a modular kitchen at will
The L-shaped kitchen or the U-shaped kitchen have lived! In 2021, the kitchen is breaking free from these limits, and it blends perfectly into the decor, readily encroaching on the living room, entrance or dining room.
The kitchen 2021 happily does without the support of the walls: from the sink to the appliances, everything is installed on the XXL island – or, as here, on two independent islands. There remains a section of wall entirely dedicated to storage, which alternates shelves, cupboard… and bookcase.
The living room / dining room therefore gives way to a cozy living room / kitchen, in impeccable style. And now, it is the bar that sets the tone, and that is responsible for structuring the space.
The 2021 open kitchen falls high: by eliminating all closed hanging storage, it becomes more minimalist and downright hot. It also becomes able to blend in just about anywhere, including a hallway. For a perfectly balanced aesthetic – and for more functionality – however, we adopt open shelves.
The linear kitchen has become the most classic layout. It must be said that it is both aesthetic and particularly functional. To bring depth to the room, we play discreetly with its lines, adopting tall units that are kept a good distance from the ceiling. To give it more cohesion, we play with an XL splashback, which unites the worktop with suspended storage. Because in 2021, the credenza is not in half measures: it invests the entire wall, or is made very small!
The 2021 kitchen worktop continues a movement that began last season, and is getting ever thinner. We opt for a model with a velvet touch, and we dedicate its entire surface to the kitchen: we cut it, we bake it… and we put it on a shelf on the credenza to declutter it.
The kitchen trend 2021: a play of materials and colors
If the 2021 kitchen is imaginative and functional, it also gives pride of place to certain choice materials. With consistency: softness! Softness to the eyes – with a predilection for matt – and softness to the touch with timeless or resolutely innovative materials.
The essential material for the 2021 kitchen is undoubtedly marble. It is preferably chosen white, streaked with gray, and worked to offer a matte finish. In total look, the marble kitchen is both soft and bright. We warm it up by daring with textiles: cozy chairs and rugs. On the color side, we love powdery shades – such as pink and gray. A little boudoir spirit, a bit offbeat, which works perfectly!
For a soft and sophisticated atmosphere without falling into a resolutely colorful palette, we fall for the nude – in other words, pinkish beige – one of the flagship colors of the 2021 kitchen.
The black and wood kitchen, 2021 version, plays with contrast, thanks to melamine – one of the major trends of the year. Matte fronts against wood effect: the timeless duo always has its effect. Especially when a touch of charcoal gray slightly softens the contrast. We melt for a minimalist design, which we warm by adopting a trendy light: rattan or cane pendant, for example.
If you love cooking in color, blue is definitely the color of the year! If you are worried about getting bored of it, go for a simple accent wall: this will be enough to give character to your decor, and you can revamp the room in a stroke of the brush.
If you love warm colors, adopt the sublime – and very trendy – terracotta color! In the kitchen, it works easily as a duo – with an anthracite gray or a blue – or in a monochrome version.
Do you have a clear preference for the white kitchen? You will melt for the Dekton. This high-tech material has the particularity of imitating all materials to perfection. However, it is in white that it is most sublime. In addition to its almost velvety appearance, the Dekton has the advantage of being suitable for the floor as well as for the facades and the worktop: it allows you to design a tailor-made kitchen, visually fluid. A contemporary and minimalist kitchen is yours, very much in tune with the 2021 trends!
Kitchen 2021: flagship equipment
In the 2021 kitchen, it’s all about the detail. When it comes to comfort and functionality, nothing looks too good!
The 2021 kitchen is a real living room: even if it does not open onto the living room, we install a space where it is good to chill. Depending on the configuration of the room, you can opt for a bench – integrated into the island or nested like here under the window – or install a pouf, or even an armchair.
The 2021 kitchen is above all practical. We therefore take care to optimize storage, while striving to have everything we need at hand. And for that, nothing beats the English drawer!
But how does the 2021 kitchen manage to overcome all the tall units, including the hood? It’s very simple: it is equipped with a cooking plate with integrated suction! The “must have” in terms of household appliances, if you want to enjoy a functional space with impeccable aesthetics.
