Dining is an activity that we do in our homes and outside in our gardens, which is showcased in kitchen designs for 2021 with more open plan living and dining kitchen spaces. We love this gorgeous kitchen that allows for natural light to seep through effortlessly.
Multi-Toned Kitchens
Combining two colours in the kitchen is set to be the biggest kitchen trend in 2021 as it creates a depth of style that mixes and matches together. Think light and dark contrasts, kitchen islands that take on a style of their own and a mixture of textures from hardwood floors to shiny fixtures and matt finishes.
