Interior Designers Say These 7 Kitchen Trends Will Take Over

While function and storage are two kitchen features that never go out of style, 2021 could welcome in fun interior design trends such as colored stone countertops, mixed materials, and statement backsplashes. Apartment Therapy picked the minds of interior designers to find what kitchen trends will reign supreme in 2021. Stone countertops, loved for their durability and appearance, may get a makeover with more homeowners opting for colored stone that blurs the lines between backsplash and counter. But the all-white kitchens homeowners have grown to know and love will remain popular. Color and pops of fun can come in other ways though, such as a playful backsplash.

The walls of your kitchen are brimming with design potential; it just takes the right backsplash to set off your cookspace. “Instead of thinking of backsplashes as an expanse of wall that should be ‘neutral and safe’ so you won’t ‘get tired of it,’ I’m encouraging clients to choose backsplashes they love and resonate with in 2021,” says designer Isabel Ladd of Isabel Ladd Interiors. “That way, you’ll feel joy every time you look at it.”

There are a slew of artful backsplash ideas you can pick from to design a unique statement feature. If you don’t have the budget to go all out on a bold new backsplash, consider removable peel-and-stick tiles to score a similar effect without breaking your bank account.
