2024 Kitchen Trends
The joy of living is at the forefront of kitchen design trends for 2024.
As we seek solace within our homes to balance our busy lives, we lean to nature for colour inspiration and texture and multi-purpose functionality for ease of living.
Here are our top 5 kitchen trends we expect to see throughout the year;
Embracing Nature's Palette: Draw inspiration from the colours and textures found in the natural world—think serene earthy greens, warm terracotta hues, and the rich grain of wood. We can expect coloured kitchen cabinetry complemented by wood-inspired finishes, creating a harmonious fusion of textures. Accentuated with earthy touches like terracotta accents and aged brass hardware, for a kitchen that exudes tranquillity and timeless elegance.
Soft profiles: Consider incorporating subtle curves into your kitchen islands and embracing fluting details to bring a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere to the heart of your home.
Gathering Spaces: In communal eat-in kitchens, the dining table takes centre stage, creating an expansive shared area for cooking and dining where loved ones gather to prepare and enjoy meals together. Picture spacious kitchen islands adorned with plenty of bar stools, elongated island benches accompanied by dining chairs, and integrated dining tables seamlessly blending into the kitchen space.
Statement Surfaces: Elevate your kitchen by adding statement natural benchtops and splashbacks. These materials not only add a touch of drama but also offer enduring beauty and sophistication. From the striking patterns of Dolomite to the classic luxury of Marble and the durability of Quartzite, these statement surfaces become focal points that elevate the overall ambiance of the kitchen, creating a space that is both captivating and inviting.
Intentional Lighting: We lean towards integrated cabinet lighting for functionality and surface-mounted downlights to highlight the captivating nature-inspired finishes of the kitchen. Opting for a single oversized architecturally designed pendant light above your island takes precedence over the conventional three-pendant arrangement, adding a distinctive focal point and focused task lighting.
