As we step into the new year, the prospect of a fresh start extends beyond personal resolutions to the heart of our homes - the kitchen. Over the years, our kitchens have gained growing significance as a space for fostering connections with loved ones and friends, which is still the case for 2024. Whether you’re planning a new build or simply sprucing up your kitchen, we take a look at some of the 2024 trends for fitted kitchens, all of which can be incorporated into your kitchen design.
Bold Colour Palettes
Say goodbye to all-white kitchens! 2024 is all about embracing bold and vibrant colours in fitted kitchens. From deep emerald greens, rich navy blues to burgundy and purple, homeowners are seeking to make a statement with their kitchen colour choices. These bold hues are being integrated into cupboards, backsplashes, and even kitchen appliances. Matte black and titanium finishes are still rising in popularity, while brass remains a sought-after choice, particularly for those who appreciate a vintage aesthetic. The enduring appeal of brass adds a timeless touch to contemporary designs, creating a seamless blend of classic elegance and modern trends.
Tech-Infused Appliances
Beyond smart kitchen gadgets, appliances themselves are becoming more technologically advanced. Touchscreen interfaces, integrated recipe suggestions, and cooking pre-sets are just a few features making their way into modern fitted kitchens, transforming cooking into a seamless and enjoyable experience. We take a look at this even further in our latest blog, which can be found just here.
Communal Kitchens
As suggested above, more and more, families are gravitating towards the kitchen as a central hub for various activities, not just limited to cooking. Clients now seek kitchen designs that encourage both relaxation and socialising, allowing family members and guests to linger comfortably. This desire is reflected in the demand for accommodating kitchen islands that cater to the entire family, along with the insistence on comfortable counter stools. An even more favourable approach involves incorporating a kitchen table into the space, allowing a sense of community through shared moments across the table rather than just sitting beside someone.
Open Shelving and Glass Cabinets
Open shelving and glass-fronted cabinets are gaining popularity, breaking away from traditional closed-off kitchen storage. This trend not only showcases stylish dinnerware and accessories but also gives the kitchen an airy and open feel. It's an excellent way to display curated collections and add a personal touch to the space.
Marble and Stone
Marble's popularity has been sustained over the years, with homeowners and designers appreciating its classic appeal. Marble countertops work well in various kitchen styles, from traditional to modern, and they can complement a wide range of colour schemes. Beyond its aesthetic contributions, marble boasts practical advantages that add to its widespread appeal. Its inherent sustainability, as a natural stone, aligns with the growing interest in environmentally conscious choices for home interiors. The low environmental impact of marble, coupled with its durability and longevity, positions it as a sustainable option for those looking to make eco-friendly decisions in their kitchen design.
