According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2021 Profile of Home Staging, the most popular room to stage is the master bedroom. The second most popular room to stage is the living room. This takes us to the third most popular room to stage – the kitchen! For some, that is where a whole lot of time is spent and a very important area for many families. Just like with any trend, they change with the times. This includes what is popular with kitchens.
If you want to update your kitchen, we have some ideas to share with you. This is especially important if you are in the process of selling your home. It will help make the kitchen more desirable for potential buyers.
To start with, take a look at the countertops! A simple idea which would give you more options for creativity, is to do with a simple countertop but spruce things up with a fun and vibrant backsplash! The opportunities are endless when it comes to backsplashes. If you want to take a different approach, marble countertops that are heavily veined and quartz countertops are both “in” right now.
This year, when it comes to colors in the kitchen, dark colors are popular, especially blacks. This includes black walls, cabinets, and other accents. The contrast helps to give the kitchen a more glamorous type of look.
Unique and special lighting can also have a profound effect on a kitchen. There are many different fun options to choose from – and many different places to accent. As of now, the globe shaped lighting and sphere shaped lighting are two very popular options. Either option will look classy.
The last idea we have for you as to how to show off your kitchen, is to show off your shelving! Instead of having a cupboard that is behind a door, show it off! This trend is to help you stop hiding behind a digital lifestyle and sharing decorations, art, books, etc. that are important to you and show others your personality a bit more.
