This particular kitchen is displaying a lot of the trends that 2021 will be buzzing with . It is clean lined and very minimalistic with all appliances hidden by the white acrylic paneled doors and even the self closing fridge seamlessly fits into the wall of pantries . It ’ s designed to reflect the lights beautifully and add more magic to the open concept home . Tip-On-Blumotion mechanisms make this kitchen ’ s seamless look possible with no hardware and push to open mechanisms that make cooking simple .

3 . UNDERMOUNT DOWNDRAFT Alpine Canada has developed a new kit to undermount downdraft ventilators for cooktops ! The first of its kind in North America , the kits convert a specific brand into an undermounted installed unit versus the traditional top mounted unit we usually see . Designed to be fully integrated into the cabinet and disappear into the countertop , all workings are secured in the base cabinet with a control that can be mounted up to eight feet away . The kit was designed to work with PITT cooktops but can be used with any brand of cooktop or range providing there is room for the product .
