<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you are thinking of updating or renovating your kitchen now is the perfect time to start your research, as every year brings new design trends and products. A successful kitchen design should focus on its functionality, employ good ergonomics, durable finishes, and incorporate good quality products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1# Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\nA. Marble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Marble and its beautiful veins once again have their place, both on the countertop and on the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nB. Subway tiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rectangular tiles, small and elongated, type “metro”, are increasingly being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nC. Square tiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The square tile, which had been stopped using, is returning as a trend in kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nD. Wood and stone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Marble, quartz, and wood combined have gained ground in recent years, covering both walls, floors, and even countertops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA few years ago, dark wood flooring was widely used. But with a block of light wood, you can disguise the scratches and stains much more indelible. White oak is the most popular of woods because it is like a light canvas that can have any color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nE. Concrete floors or countertops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can also opt for concrete, it gives a very modern and industrial look to the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe soil in grey or carbon colors will remain trending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe combined concrete and wood generate very sophisticated and ultra-modern spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nF. Contrasting textures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
New designs use contrasting texture finishes. For example, dark porcelain or slate with wood, or super matte black cabinets combined with warm metal sinks in bronze. These elegant finishes are balanced with natural organic elements, such as wood details for the island or wide plank flooring in wide wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe most popular finishes for cabinet handles are matte black, satin nickel, tin, and antique brass. What is common to all these finishes is that they are matte, not high gloss finishes, and therefore show no finger marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBut there’s a better chance. As you can see from the photos we show you, the materials used are very diverse. And increasingly they mix with each other, that is the case of wood, glass, plastic, ceramics, stone, and metal, which merge into more original combinations and to which they can already be appreciated imposing trend in the kitchens for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOwners are preferring synthetic materials, which are durable and give a good design. Some of the most popular brands for countertops offer many colors and various thickness and shape options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nG. Sinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One trend in the market that is in high demand is granite sinks. The black and white sinks will be the color options for 2021. Another more luxurious option is metal brass or copper sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBut of course, stainless steel will not lose its place, as it is durable and economical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nH. Connection to the outside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In modern architecture, the kitchen every day takes on increasing notoriety, for the fact that it is a functional space, working, but for many of enjoyment and relaxation. It serves to practice the hobby of cooking, or cocktails, have a chat with friends on the island, or a breakfast in the morning. Faced with this, we have sought a way to give more vitality to this space, through large windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe idea is to place the kitchens adjacent to the garden, so that the window generates the feeling of being in both places at once, because, while cooking, you can enjoy the beautiful day that makes outside, without feeling like you are missing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSimilarly, if you make meals with friends, you can open the windows, connecting the kitchen with the patio, without having to have to cook, you miss half the meeting because you are not in the same space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nCocina con armarios de madera y ventana grande al jard\u00edn verde
You can also build terraces right outside the patio, to have a few drinks, and eat pizzas enjoying the view and a larger space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn addition to all this, letting more natural light pass through generates more luminosity and therefore a better vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2# Appliances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Stainless steel remains the preferred material in both large and small appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nRefrigerators with French doors are going to be one of the preferred options, along with self-cleaning ovens that come with built-in steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nKitchen designs are becoming more minimalist and clean. When it comes to small appliances many people are choosing to integrate these into the closets and hide them, however, for those who prefer to leave them insight, they can integrate them into the rest of the furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n3# Modern kitchen furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\nA. Built-in wall cabinets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As for the furniture that will be carried in the kitchens, shelves, and storage furniture that are fully integrated into the wall will predominate, appearing to be part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWall cabinets reach the ceiling to maximize storage space and minimize dust buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nClosed and upper cabinets are also being set aside, giving way to glass doors and open shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMetal, wood, and glass are the modern materials that impose the most trend for shelves and kitchen shelves, which gives a wider and brighter look to the spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOpen and well-organized spaces stand out, free of obstacles, and well ventilated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe incorporation of intelligent storage solutions and the use of every inch of space efficiently are fundamental points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe cabinets bring deep drawers that make items more easily accessible and come with automatic closing mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n3# Open shelves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Not all things in decoration follow a rule, and shelves are no exception, as they are not necessarily to be good and space-appropriate, they must be closed. The open shelf format is increasingly used and gives the impression that they were floating, thus inserting a new model of storage in the house, modern and that can be a plus for both decoration and to generate a sense of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOpen shelves provide a place to showcase elements that reflect the personality and create interest. They work best in a contrasting finish with the cabinets, as this helps break the space and create a good mix of finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen you don’t want to paint the entire wall, you can paint a few shelves of some contrasting color that matches the closets under the countertop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you’re leaning over transparent shelves, such as glass, you can opt for lighting to highlight what’s on the shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThose that incorporate sliding doors are an interesting possibility. These can be used to cover specific areas of the shelf, but at the same time, they can be run, as well as serve as protection for when one is working on the countertop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n4# Lighting in modern kitchens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Another key to modern d\u00e9cor is the implementation of decorative techniques that increase the feeling of space, such as good lighting and low incorporation of furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLights can be hidden inside furniture or ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBut you can also use decorative and elegant hanging lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nCocina blanca y gris con suelo en madera, iluminaci\u00f3n bajo los armarios
If you plan to reform, keep in mind that the windows in the kitchen are also an important point, not only for lighting but also for more effective ventilation and to give a sense of spaciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n5# Colors in modern kitchens<\/h2>\n\n\n\nA. Black and dark grey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Many interior designers have been using darker color palettes for the kitchen, experimenting with dark gray and black. Black and white will also be widely used. The overall appearance is of elegance and refinement, however, it has an air of natural simplicity and earthly exuberance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDark grey and black combine with woods and metals, creating an extremely contemporary and luxurious look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nB. Blue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Wall cabinets in a color that contrasts with the lower cabinets are a winning combo that we will continue to see throughout the year. For example, the combination of muted navy blue with gray, white, or black. Another popular combination is blue and wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNavy blue will be one of the most used colors in the kitchen. Works well with brass accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nC. Green<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is another of the colors that are gaining the most ground in the kitchens. The most commonly used shades are forest green, bluish-green, or celery green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nD. Pink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another color that is being seen more and more in the kitchens: the old rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nE. Modern white kitchens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the classic colors for kitchens is white. This color provides a lot of luminosity and also gives an impeccable hygiene look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe white color can be combined with natural-colored woods, granite, or concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWith small touches of black, white kitchens can also look fabulous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nF. Grey and beige<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Neutral colors also gain ground, more and more kitchens are seen in colors such as white, gray, and beige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nG. Touches of intense color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As you will see, through the photos presented, you can also choose between multiple styles of decoration, many of which emphasize the incorporation of strong colors by means of tiles, furniture, or different decorative accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nStrong and vibrant colors also impose style in modern style kitchens, with green and orange being some of the most commonly used shades, which are even more favored when combined with good lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n6# Modern kitchen designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\nA. Integrated kitchens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Today’s kitchens are becoming shared family spaces that also allow you to eat, work, or rest within the same area. Kitchens are being designed to allow spaces to be shared and offer more versatility and design flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMany new kitchens incorporate a dining table which in turn is used as a work table. This helps foster interaction within the home and create a social environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt also incorporates cooking islands that usually have various purposes, such as preparing food while interacting with other people around it. They may contain a small sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nB. Kitchens open to the living or dining room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Maybe your kitchen feels disconnected from the rest of the home. If you want it to look more modern, consider throwing down some wall, to integrate it with the dining room or living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nModern kitchens converge with the main living space of the house. Gradually, they are becoming a space where daily life develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis inclusion can be done very harmoniously using cooking islands, for example. In these photos, we see that the kitchen is integrated into the dining room or the living room, turning these spaces into a great environment, comfortable and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nC. Modern kitchens with island<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Kitchen islands serve various purposes. In addition to being a focal point in space, they also help to increase the functionality and efficiency of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAccording to some surveys, more than 70% of buyers want an island in their kitchen, and of them, 50% consider it essential. Since it is clear that the addition of an island is a good investment, you should consider this possibility if you plan reform in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThink about what kind of design (whether custom or prefabricated) will give you the most utility. If the kitchen has few closets, you’ll want storage. If you don’t have a dining room, extra seats could be a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou should also consider the available space you have. A good rule is to place it in the center of the room. In this way, it is equally accessible from everywhere and will not be an obstacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHowever, a perimeter island, for example, might work better in a large open space. Size and shape are also determined by the design of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nD. Modern modular kitchens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The modular kitchen system is a modern trend that looks a lot like a prefabricated home. They are designed to be sold by modules, and in this way, they are fully customizable. The advantage of choosing this kitchen system is that, depending on the available space, you can use the most convenient modules, at cheaper prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis is another trend we have seen growth in recent years and will surely continue to grow in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
