1. Pretty pantries and larders
Firstly, with 218,000,000 TikTok hashtags is the built-in kitchen pantry. From farmhouse-style wooden cabinets, to contemporary pull-out larders, pantries are making a comeback. And on Tiktok, it turns out that we all love looking at organised cupboards filled with labelled mason jars, stylish spice racks, and other innovative storage solutions.

2. Show-stopping storage solutions
A great way to integrate your storage into your decor scheme, floating shelves were the next highest scorer. As an affordable and accessible way to transform a room, tutorial videos on how to build and install your own floating shelves have really taken off. However, if it’s not suitable for display, put it away – searches for #modularkitchens with custom concealed cabinets are also proving popular.

3. Adaptable kitchen islands
The place many of us are spending all day working remotely, and then using as a social setting for hosting, our kitchens have really been put to work in 2021. Therefore it’s no surprise that #kitchenislands proved to be one of the most popular TikTok kitchen trends. Above all, there is lots of interest also shown in upgrading to double or even retractable extending islands!

4. Dark schemes and statement splashbacks
According to TikTok, dramatic dark paint and dark wooden panelling are both very much on-trend – especially when paired with stylish lighting choices. Another popular way to make an impact appears to be by pairing these darker hues with brightly coloured feature walls and statement kitchen splashbacks.

5. A room for wellies and walking boots
Finally, we’re all keen on having a separate space with direct garden access for storing muddy shoes, pet leads, and backpacks. Set to be the biggest kitchen addition of 2021, mud rooms are typically small, filled with storage, and preferably also fitted with a sink for cleaning off football boots, wellies, and muddy animals.
