The 10 Hottest 2024 Kitchen Design Trends
The top kitchen trends for 2024 are all about blending technology with style and simplicity. Think smart kitchens with the latest tech, bold backsplashes, eye-catching cabinetry, striking range hoods, and a mix of natural, organic elements. Minimalist aesthetics are also making a strong statement. These are the must-have features if you're planning a kitchen redesign and want to stay on-trends.
Try layered lighting
Well-curated lighting fixtures make all the difference in your kitchen design. Task and ambient lighting, bold statement fixtures, and accent lighting can all seamlessly blend to create a unique kitchen look. Only using recessed lighting is a thing of the past- incorporate a few different types of lighting for a beautiful look for 2024.
Go for a bold kitchen island
If you want your base and wall cabinets to stay cohesive, try a singular pop of color with your island. No matter the size of your island or kitchen, a pop of color will make a statement. It is the perfect way to inject your kitchen with some vibrancy without incorporating all your cabinets into the design trend. Our large and diverse range of colors and finishes are perfect for creating a stunningly bright focal point in your kitchen.
Get cozy with an all-natural finish
While the natural look of simple wood cabinetry is nothing new, 2024 is all about using different wood tones than in previous years. Whereas dark and ultra-light tones were fashionable in decades past, medium wood tones are the most popular natural look for cabinets. For a comfortable and relaxed feel, Timber cabinets are the go-to option.
Slim down with an updated Shaker
If there is one thing that stands the test of time, it’s Shaker cabinets. If you’re looking for an updated interior design trend that is increasing in popularity, try our new slim shaker cabinet style, Luna. Available in three chic colors, Indigo, Kona, and Dove, this updated take on the classic Shaker fits in perfectly with 2024’s design trends.
According to designer Krista Blundell from Highmont Home, the updated style speaks to the trend toward thin shaker. "The thin-edged shaker door of the Allure Luna line is the perfect match for the client who leans modern but is not quite ready to make the leap to a sleek slab front cabinet like the new Illume line or for the client who desires something more unexpected than a traditional shaker like the Galaxy line. It's hip and modern, and I think we'll be seeing more kitchens in Luna in the coming years."
The new backsplash trend
Tired of the tried-and-true subway tile backsplash and want a beautifully streamlined look to incorporate into your kitchen? Slab backsplashes are all the rage and are predicted to continue to gain popularity for years to come. Continuing the countertop up the wall (either halfway or all the way) creates an eye-catching detail that is sure to impress. The slab backsplash creates a custom, luxurious feel without the accompanying price tag.
If you don't want to go with the slab style, opt for vibrant colors, patterns, and geometric shapes which are all popular now too.
Integrated sinks for a seamless look
Integrated sinks, made from the same material as your countertops, are the next step in modern kitchen design. They offer a sleek, seamless look that adds a touch of luxury to your space. Plus, they make cleaning easier by eliminating those hard-to-reach edges where dirt can hide.
Smart tech for a smarter kitchen
A top trend this year is integrated smart technology in the kitchen. As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, the cooking experience has become as streamlined and efficient as possible. AI ovens, touchless faucets, and voice-controlled lights are just a couple of advanced features available in today's kitchen technology market.
Statement hoods are all the rage
Looking for a great statement piece that incorporates the best of style and function? Range hoods are a necessity in every kitchen, and 2024 kitchen design trends have made them the ultimate statement piece. Whether you want to go for the farmhouse or luxurious feel, there is a wide range of hood styles and finishes that will fit your taste.
Opt for a minimalist vibe
Embracing a minimalist vibe in your kitchen design means focusing on simplicity and functionality. Picture clean lines, uncluttered countertops, and a soothing color palette like neutrals and creams to create a calm and open space. By choosing only the essentials and keeping things streamlined, your kitchen becomes a place where everything has its purpose.
Go Green and eco-friendly
Eco-friendly practices are at the heart of modern kitchen design, with a strong focus on reducing environmental impact. Designers are turning to recycled materials and natural elements like reclaimed wood to create stylish, sustainable spaces. These green choices not only look great but also help you do your part for the planet. Fabuwood's sustainable Wood Recovery Program is focused on providing eco-friendly solutions for our cabinets, as well as reducing our environmental impact.
Kitchens have gotten a serious upgrade with a mix of style, tech, and sustainability. Whether you're dreaming of a smart kitchen packed with the latest gadgets or envisioning a sleek, minimalist space with natural touches, this year's trends have you covered.
