New Year is all about fresh starts. And with a year like 2020, we are all looking for a brand new start that leads to healthier, happier and a much less restrictive lifestyle. Our homes play a huge role in providing this safe and cheerful environment while encouraging a healthier, more active lifestyle. And at the heart of every such gorgeous, functional home is a great kitchen – one that drives it on and also serves as the perfect social space. Kitchens have changed dramatically in the last two decades and are now an extension of the living area and open kitchen that sits next to them. So what does 2021 have in store for us in terms of kitchen trends?

1. Spice Check

Look through your spices and toss outdated ones.  Spices on shelves, and the best thing in the kitchen was to alphabetize them.  That way, the top shelf has spices starting with A through D, so it can easily go to the correct shelf for any spice every time, and so can anyone else who cooks in our home.

2. Organic and Comfortable

We have seen an influx of bold and bright colors into the kitchen in the last few years. But 2021 is projected to move away from that idea in the kitchen with organic finishes and soothing neutral hues making the biggest impact. Shades of gray, pastel colors and different white hues will once again dominate the kitchen color spectrum with pleasant yellows and smart blues providing the necessary contrast. Do watch out for green to act as the surprise element as homeowners look for that ‘something different’!

3. Cabinet Convenience

Check in and make sure that the items you use most are easily accessible.  From year to year, this can change.  If your kids have outgrown sippy cups, for instance, remove them from your cabinet’s prime real estate and place other more commonly used items there.  Place items that you want your children to get for themselves in easy to get to spots.  The location of these items can change depending on the age and height of the kids.

4. Towel Bar

Use a towel bar to hold pot lids.

An organized kitchen allows you to easily find what you need so that you can efficiently prepare meals in a decluttered workspace, hopefully while making memories cooking with your family.  If you have a kitchen organization tip or hack to share, we’d love to hear from you.
