Kitchen Trends to Watch in 2024

As we head into the modern year, it’s clear that kitchen design is evolving in exhilarating ways. From bold colors to eco-friendly materials, here are the top kitchen trends to watch in 2024.

Communal Seating Arrangements

Skip bar-style seating at your kitchen island and enjoy quality conversations with your loved ones where everyone feels involved. "Conversational islands are definitely back versus looking at the cook doing all the work or feeding you island-side," says Swanson.

Combination Islands

According to Anastasia Casey of IDCO Studio, we’ll see a combination of islands in the kitchen. "We’ll see way more combination islands in the kitchen. This means that 50 to 60 percent of the island will have closed storage below, while the remaining 40 to 50 percent will have elementary furniture-style legs with huge top drawers and open space below for counter-height stools to tuck under," she says.

Ornate Lighting

"I feel like people are starting to lose the want for an understated kitchen, and the larger-than-life trend is back," says designer Laura Williams of ATX Interior Design. "For instance, delicate fixtures that are oversized and a statement piece will be the look of 2024."

A Blend of Materials

The expansion of beverage stations is headed outside too! People want to be able to entertain without getting in the car. "You can have dinner in your stunning kitchen upstairs but keep the party at home—and out of the main kitchen," says Swanson. "Maybe you want to put the kids to bed or don’t want a raucous after-party affecting bedroom spaces."

Warm Woods

Clear your kitchen of fuss and clutter with a thoughtfully designed minimalist layout. Think cabinets and appliances with push-to-open technology, plenty of pantry space, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, easy-to-clean quartz countertops, and grout-free floors. These features cut down on chores for simple cleaning and upkeep.

Stress-Free Layouts

Bold colors will continue to win out over white, incorporating art or a great wallpaper alongside luxury functional choices. Enhance the charm of color with bold accent colors, a unique backsplash, and even energetic delicate fixtures.

Gold Hardware

The NKBA found that matte black will take second place as homeowners go for gold. Kitchen sink faucets in matte, satin, and brushed finishes will be gleaming in gold to create a warmer atmosphere.

A Blend of Textures

"We’ll also be seeing the continuation of wood tones in kitchens, with the combination of wood and painted cabinetry in more inventive ways," says Casey. For example, 2024 will bring cabinet towers in stained wood with lower cabinets in a painted finish.

Green

The expansion of beverage stations is headed outside too! People want to be able to entertain without getting in the car. "You can have dinner in your stunning kitchen upstairs but keep the party at home—and out of the main kitchen," says Swanson.

Conclusion

As we look to the future of kitchen design, it’s clear that 2024 will be all about embracing bold colors, combining materials, and creating stress-free layouts. With these trends in mind, you’ll be well on your way to designing a kitchen that’s both stunning and functional.
