If you’re looking to update your kitchen this year, whether it’s considered small budget updates or a major renovation, keep reading to find out the top Kitchen trends in 2024.
One of the easiest ways to change your kitchen is with the cabinet color. Because the cabinets take up so much visual space in a kitchen, you want to pick a color that you’re going to love. White kitchens are becoming less popular. If you’re looking for a dramatic color, both black and green cabinets will be very popular. These 2 colors have been popular paint colors within the home in the last few years, and now that color trend is moving to the kitchen as well. But if you want to keep light colored cabinets, go with a soft beige.
Adding black accent lighting to your cream-colored kitchen is subtle and elegant. Beige cabinets can be modern, or transitional. The hardware can elevate the aesthetic and design too. Don’t be scared to mix metals either. The “matching” phase of design is no longer looked at as “required”.
Mid grey tones, blues and darker toned wood cabinets are becoming increasingly more popular. Pair these with creams, and wood beams to get an organic and natural kitchen feeling.
Kitchen Islands are still popular because they make the kitchen a space that is not just for cooking. It’s also a space for eating and entertaining. It’s the focal point of the kitchen.
Kitchen Islands are still popular because they make the kitchen a space that is not just for cooking. It’s also a space for eating and entertaining. It’s the focal point of the kitchen. A large island serves such a functional purpose for families who are rushing in the morning to pack lunches, eat breakfast and jet out the door! It’s easy to dump all the dishes in the sink/dishwasher. An island that faces a living room is great for the open movement of guests throughout the main level of a home.
When you walk into a kitchen, all the floor to ceiling, wall to wall cabinet doors can make the space look heavy. This is why floating shelves have become one the latest kitchen trends in recent years.
By removing even 1 set of upper cabinets, you can make the space look so much lighter and brighter. Wood floating shelves will continue to be popular, but we will also see marble shelving in 2024. They bring an additional element from the outside, in.
Remember when we used to hide our exhaust in the cabinet above the stove? An easy update to bring your home to the current trends is to remove the cabinet and add a unique hood design. There are lots of different shapes. Make sure to pair the shape with the style of cabinets. Sometimes the hoods completely blend in with the design and they’re not as noticeable.
Kitchen trends are always changing. Never add any of these elements if you don’t love them just because interior designers say they are popular. Take a few of these kitchen ideas and add them into your space to make it feel like a new kitchen!
The Mid-Century design style (also known as MidMod and MCM) is a significant design movement from the mid 20th century aka 1950’s, characterized by minimal sleek lines, mixing of organic & geometric shapes, surprising uses of materials, and dramatic textures.
In 2024, we're likely to see a shift in some kitchens having open shelving rather than closed cabinets. Open shelving has been a popular trend in kitchen design for the past few years, and it's not going away anytime soon. It’s no longer considered Farmhouse either. Modern and Contemporary kitchens are adding this feature as well.
