Some elements of kitchen design are timeless. You will always want your kitchen to be functional, clean, and comfortable, for example. However, every year there are new trends in kitchen design that will inspire you to design a fresh and stylish space.

When you are building a home in Tucson, one of the most important considerations you will make is what your kitchen will look like. That’s why our real estate development team compiled this list of hot kitchen trends for 2021.

Quartz Countertops

Marble countertops may always be in style, but increasingly, more and more homeowners are opting for quartz. This is because quartz offers the same sleek look as marble, while being much easier to care for. You will notice that quartz countertops are quite popular with homebuilders in 2021.

Dark Countertops

At the same time, dark countertops are also trending this year. Some homeowners are opting for a sleek, black look, while others are contrasting white cabinets with dark wood counters. This is a great way to make any of the lighter colors in your decor pop.

Multi-Level Islands

Kitchen islands are always a popular option because it is an easy way to increase storage space. This year, the latest trend is to design islands with different levels. This opens up more possibilities for how to use the space in a functional way.

Warm Tones

While cool tones were dominating the kitchen scene for a long time, warm tones have become to make a comeback. This year, you will see more rich browns and deep reds when it comes to cabinets in the kitchen.

Woven Light Fixtures

This fun and funky trend makes the kitchen feel more like an island oasis. Commonly made with bamboo or rattan, woven light fixtures give a natural, contemporary, and breezy feel in the kitchen.

Reclaimed Wood

Now that we are seeing more warmth come into kitchen design, naturally, wood follows. Reclaimed wood in particular is seeing a resurgence of popularity in kitchen cabinetry. This is a great option for a rustic feel, though you can use reclaimed wood in a modern way with certain contemporary styles.

Slab Backsplashes

If you aren’t a fan of tiles, these types of backsplashes will likely catch your eye. Slab backsplashes use one piece of a material, such as marble, to create a seamless, clean look.

High-Shine Backsplashes

Another popular trend for 2021 is incorporating a lot of gloss into the kitchen design for a sleek look. In particular, homeowners are opting for materials like glass for their backsplashes for a futuristic, clean aesthetic.
