Whether you want inspiration to revamp your kitchen (and do it right!) or simply learn about what\u2019s the most up-and-coming in the realm of kitchen design, we’ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many kitchen design trends that spring up each year, but here we dive deep into the top four ones that are very much here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen Islands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast bars and kitchen islands are not a new trend, but they\u2019re surely here to stay. These provide a cozy spot for quick and casual dining and can also serve as a workplace with storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Breakfast bars, in particular, are a fusion of the dining table and the kitchen island that separate out as an ideal space just for socializing, eating and working. It\u2019s essentially a multi-purpose area that makes you more efficient and thus, it remains popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many modern homes have kitchen islands with an open kitchen layout, which adds to its convenience and ease-of-use. Also, having single-level islands allows light to smoothly stream through your kitchen space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a good idea to opt for a kitchen island with a waterfall edge or overhang so as to create space for stools to tuck under the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, not only do kitchen islands and breakfast bars increase the intimacy of your kitchen, but they also expand its utility and valuable cooking space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brass Accents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2017 was arguably the year of copper, but in 2021, kitchen spaces are going back to their vintage roots, with bold brass accents making a definitive comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brass hit its peak in the \u201980s and is now again a trending choice in cooking areas thanks to its warm, classy appearance and ability to age like fine wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lustrous alloy blends well with a variety of finishes, presenting a warm contrast to cooler materials<\/a> like chrome or stainless steel. Brass adds a nice dazzle to the kitchen, and an elegant accent to cabinets, faucets, fixtures and even appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brass is no longer an antique-looking material \u2014 it now comes with sleek, subtly shiny finishes that look unique. For the best impression, let your brass accents be the center of attention in your kitchen by setting them against all-white or neutral surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTA Kitchen Cabinets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a neat, efficient and appealing cooking area is not a trend \u2014 it\u2019s something that everyone wants. And kitchen cabinets contribute significantly in making that desire a reality, as they occupy nearly half of your kitchen\u2019s wall space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional kitchen cabinets are costly, and there has been a growing trend of going DIY with ready to assemble (RTA) cabinets. This is a trend that\u2019s here to stay, as RTA cabinets<\/a> are extremely cost-effective, functional and easy on the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As end products, RTA kitchen cabinets aren\u2019t that different from the usual cabinets \u2014 the only difference is that they come in a kit that contains everything you need (step-by-step, easy-to-follow visual instructions with tools and materials) for the final assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you have to invest some time and manual effort in assembling the cabinets, there are plenty of reasons why RTA cabinets are a growing trend:
