Top 100 Kitchen Trends in 2021

From Vegan Milk Makers to Compact Countertop Composters

— December 31, 2021 — Art & Design
Whether it was making lattes at home or composing on the countertop, the 2021 kitchen trends reveal that many consumers took a DIY approach this past year.

With many consumers still working from home, the 2021 kitchen trends suggest that many sought to recreate their favorite coffee shop experience from the comfort of their own homes. For instance, products like the Fellow Clara French Press help even the most novice brewers whip up the perfect cup of joe. And for those who prefer non-dairy milk in their drinks, products like the Vegan Revolution milk machine ensure you'll always have plant-based milk on hand.

In addition to recreating espresso drinks at home, the 2021 kitchen trends also show an emphasis on at-home composting. For instance, products like the THRiVE Kitchen Composter can turn organic food waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer in just a short period of time.
