Get cooking in style... the face of your kitchen in 2024

Gone are the days when kitchens were intended only for meal preparation. Today’s kitchens have taking on a new role, becoming an extension of your living and entertaining spaces. The trends emerging for 2024 are not just aimed at giving your kitchen a personality, but also to create a stress-free and inviting space in which to entertain, socialize or just catch up with family at the end of the day… it’s where life happens.

More colour for 2024

White and neutral kitchens are always popular, however, this year we will be seeing colour like never before. Soft, calm and relaxing tones to bold and richly saturated colours with a big focus on shades of green. We will see the white kitchens not just merge with colour but be transformed by colour. Whether its cabinetry, accessories, faucets, tile or lighting, we will be seeing colour everywhere. Wood accents in the kitchen remain strong this year, and warm natural wood tones will definitely find their way into your kitchen. If you’re not planning a big kitchen renovation this year, then look to add this warm and inviting trend into your space with some accessories. Wonderful woods with great texture and graining will definitely complement any space or style.

Texture is on trend in kitchen design this year – whether it’s tiles, counter material, fabrics, metals or wood – it’s sure to add style and definition to your kitchen. Metallic trends this year are all about all things gold! As we are looking forward to a warmer aesthetic in our kitchens in 2024, gold will be the popular choice for hardware, lighting, accessories, faucets and even sinks.

Unique, decorative range hoods will be making a big statement in kitchens this year. Whether you’re looking to incorporate a metallic finish, wood accents, tile or even a faux finish with paint, the range hoods of 2024 will not just be functional, but also be creating a focal point in your space with their artistic flare.

Stress-free approach

We are seeing distinctive coffee or beverage centres continuing forward and being elevated to include undercounter and built-in appliances, well laid out storage, glass features and small details to create a designated space. These are not areas solely for your coffee-maker and tea kettle, but spaces that easily adapt for entertaining as well.

One of the biggest trends you will see moving forward this year will kitchens designed with a stress-free approach. Everything has its place, its organized and functions well for everyday use as well as entertaining. Counters are clutter free, the layout is uncomplicated, cabinetry space is maximized and well organized, lots of pantry space is incorporated in to the designs, and finishes and surfaces are easy to clean.

The kitchen of 2024 is about colour, minimalism, de-cluttering, warmth, easy upkeep and versatility for both everyday living and entertaining. It’s about giving your kitchen a personality and uniqueness while giving yourself a comfortable, inviting and carefree space to live in.
