The Latest Trends in Kitchen and Bath Design

April 5, 2023

If you're planning a kitchen or bath renovation, it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest design trends. Not only can this help ensure that your remodel looks fresh and modern, but it can also increase the resale value of your home. Here are some of the top trends in kitchen and bath design for 2021.


Kitchens:


Mixed Metals: One trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years is mixing different metals within a space. For example, you might install brass hardware on your cabinets while opting for a stainless steel sink or range hood. This creates an interesting contrast between warm and cool tones and adds depth to the overall design.


Open Shelving: Another trend that has been growing in popularity is open shelving instead of upper cabinets. This allows homeowners to display their favorite dishes or cookbooks while also creating an airy feel in the room.


Natural Materials: In keeping with the trend towards sustainability, many designers are incorporating natural materials into their kitchen designs. This might include wood countertops, stone backsplashes, or even live plants as decor.


Bathrooms:


Statement Tile: One way to add interest to a bathroom remodel is by installing statement tile on the floors or walls. This might include bold patterns, geometric shapes, or even textured surfaces like hexagonal tiles.


Minimalism: In contrast to busy tile patterns, many homeowners are opting for minimalist designs in their bathrooms. This might mean choosing simple fixtures with clean lines and neutral colors like white or gray.

Smart Technology: 


Finally, one trend that has been gaining traction in bathrooms (and kitchens) is smart technology integration. This could include features like voice-activated lighting or temperature control systems that can be controlled from your smartphone.


Of course, these are just a few of the many trends currently popular in kitchen and bath design! The key is to choose elements that speak to your personal taste while also staying current with what's popular.
