Refreshing Your Kitchen: 5 Beautiful Renovation Ideas And Trends For 2021

The kitchen is the heart of the home. They’ve never seen more activity than in recent months, whether as a multifunctional room or temporary home office, showing how invaluable our kitchens are to us.

Since you’re here, you’re most likely searching for kitchen renovation ideas: adding a splash of colour or installing new countertops for a refresh? If so, you’ve come to the right place for on-trend inspiration.

Improving yours can add value to not only your home life but also a resale

Boiling water in an instant

If you’re a coffee or tea lover, you’re going to love this renovation idea equally.

Google searches for boiling water taps are gaining momentum—a trend to look out for in 2021. Perfect for in-between Zoom calls, they can save you from waiting for the kettle to click. Some solely release boiling water whilst others combine with standard cold and hot water capabilities with little effort.

Adding a pop of colour

Adding vibrant colour to the kitchen is another option that doesn’t take much effort. Revitalise kitchen cupboards with a lick of paint or invest in new ones for a radical change. You can otherwise opt for colourful appliances or repaint walls.

Colours making their mark this year? Seafoam blue, olive green, red and yellow.

Discreet downdraft extractors

Kitchen designs are evolving, with downdraft extractors being one of the latest minimalist fads. They pull steam downwards and tend to be installed next to hobs. They thus take up less space compared to their over-head predecessors and are more pleasing to the eye.

You may need a contractor to help with the renovations. Albeit, they’re a nifty feature worth mentioning in marketing materials and at viewings if you’re placing your property on the market soon.

Kissing handles goodbye

Handles have been around since the 1800s but have been recently reinvented as another extraordinary industry innovation. If completely renovating your kitchen is an option, selecting a new kitchen design with no handles and push—to—open functionality is sure to intrigue visitors or house viewers.

Popular among self-build homeowners in 2020, as more people catch on, you’re sure to see handle-free cupboards and drawers in nearly every kitchen build and renovation

Levelling up countertops

An Interior Designer approved kitchen remodelling idea? Michelle Gerson of Michelle Gerson Interiors says she is noticing “a big move away from marble countertops” and toward high-performance countertops which are “not vulnerable to staining”, as they’re ingeniously practical for busy parents and avid home culinarians.

They may take some elbow grease to install, but they’re sure to save you scrubbing actual stubborn grease in the long run.

We hope our kitchen renovation ideas have helped you find inspiration for your next project in 2021.
