Predictions made during any decade of the 20th century regarding the kitchen of the new millennium invariably involved a hefty dose of futuristic edginess, largely based on the idea that high-tech inventions would be the focal point of all our living spaces. Now that the new millennium has not only arrived but is solidly in place, it can truthfully be said that the 21st-century kitchen is much more complex than anyone had imagined in how it fulfills homeowners' needs.

The kitchen includes an eating bar. Shelves are cleverly created by inserting glass panels into wall slats. The effect maintains the crisp appearance of the space.

The kitchen has become the focal point of communication with family and friends, from everyday socializing and mealtimes to entertaining. This has influenced the shape of the 21st-century kitchen: No longer a square room cut off from dining and living areas, the kitchen today can morph into a variety of shapes and is more often than not open and adjacent to the dining area and family room.

The traditional runs of uniform cabinetry and countertops have been replaced by the now-standard technique of juxtaposing varied elements: combining multiple cabinet heights, door and wood styles, and door-front cabinets with open shelving, as well as including more than one countertop material.

Kitchens are designed to be versatile enough to accommodate cooking for every scale of gathering.
