I am excited to share with you some of the hottest kitchen design trends for 2024. Trends in kitchens are kind of slow moving, and it's not easy to change out the look of your kitchen from one moment to the next. But if you're planning to renovate your kitchen or just looking for some inspiration, then you'll want to pay attention!

Colour

The first trend is all about colour. In 2024, we'll see more creative and exciting color schemes that reflect our personalities and moods. We're looking for warmer and more nourishing shades, earth tones, jewel tones, rich colour.

But if you're having a hard time deciding on what colours to use in your future kitchen, then look to green. Green is one of the most popular colours moving into 2024 and it's been a popular colour for the last few years. Green is such a satisfying colour, perfect for a kitchen. It pairs beautifully with wood tones and since warm wood grain is such a big trend, it adds that touch of warmth to your kitchen as well.

Eat-in Kitchen

The next trend is rethinking the layout and functionality of your kitchen. Open concept kitchens are losing popularity in 2024, as people crave more privacy and separation in their homes. Instead, we'll see more eat-in nooks, communal seating and larger islands to allow for as much seating as possible. It's all about sharing time with family and friends in the heart of the home. Kitchens aren't just about cooking. They're about enjoying the meal with one another.

Wood grain

So we've talked about colour being a big trend but the other big material for kitchens is wood grain. A few years ago, wood kitchens starting making a come-back but instead of going all wood for your kitchen, the bigger trend (or at least the trend that seems to be holding on) is to combine wood elements into your kitchen and mix it with other painted finishes or other materials.
Wood is a versatile and timeless material that can be used for your cabinets, countertops, floors, or accessories.

Continuous Counter & Backsplash

The next biggest trends is the uninterrupted counter top and kitchen backsplash. This isn't exactly new but it's definitely becoming more and more popular.
The most popular material for this look is quartz because it's easy to clean and it comes in large slabs for that seamless look. However, I love this trend when it's used with statement marble or stone as Mother Nature's artwork is on full display.

Curved Details

And finally the last of the trends that I'm loving for kitchens in 2024 is all about curves and rounded edges. If you saw my last video on interior home design trends for 2024, you'll have seen that curved furniture is still a big trend for our homes. This is especially true for kitchens and kitchen cabinetry.
Curved kitchen islands are a great way to soften the edges and corners of the island as well as other curved details like fluted surfaces.

So here's your takeaway…

The key to these latest kitchen trends is that kitchens are becoming more of what they've always been… The heart of the home. And this new heart is warm and inviting and full of character. No cookie cutter kitchens! The latest trends in interior design reflect our desire to want warmer spaces, with more colour and more personality and this is especially true for our kitchens.
