Let us know in the comments what you like or what trends you think we missed!
Classy Quartz
When it comes to materials, the countertop trends for 2021 are pointing to quartz countertops. Quartz has been a favorite for many home and business owners and will stay as such into the new year. Quartz as a material is easy to care for, hard to damage, and is more affordable than other similar materials, like granite. There are various available designs that you can incorporate into your home or business plan that will compliment both bold and simplistic design ideas.
Solid Colors
Speaking of bold designs, solid colors are one of the top countertop trends for 2021. Darker colors like navy, black, light grey, taupe, and white are being chosen to accent minimalist kitchen and workshop designs to add a splash of contrast to a simple color palette.
Pops of Color
Just like solid colors are trending in 2021, so are pops of colors. All-white kitchens, bathrooms, and workshops are on the way out of style as people want to add their own unique flair to their personal spaces. Many individuals add that pop of color with intricately designed backsplash tiles, a unique paint color, and vibrantly painted furniture or cabinets. If you are looking to add a vivid sense of yourself to your design, you will want to choose a complimenting countertop to add to your plan.
Multi-level Countertops
Another one of the emerging countertop trends for 2021 is multi-level countertops, specifically islands. Designers and homeowners are looking to add more prep space, comfortable seating options, and multi-functional spaces to the kitchen, giving it greater usefulness and a sense of depth.
Sustainable Materials
As homeowners, business owners, designers, suppliers, and contractors alike learn more about sustainable living and material production, there has been an ongoing movement to incorporate environmentally friendly or refurbished materials into kitchen, bathroom, and shop designs. Sustainable and environmentally friendly materials are going to be one of the biggest countertop trends of 2021. Whether people are refurbishing old wood products, are choosing countertops made of recycled glass, or are ensuring that their materials come from sustainable suppliers, more and more individuals will be taking this factor into account with their design.
Buying Local
2020 was a year that many of us did not enjoy as it negatively affected our local businesses. However, strong communities around the world came together to help provide business for local shops even when the going got tough. We believe that this local shopping trend will continue in 2021. Consumers will look to local artisans, suppliers, shops, and installers to take care of their countertop needs.
