The year 2024 promises to bring new trends to the world of kitchen renovation, combining functionality, aesthetics, and durability. In this overview, we will explore the changes that will mark kitchens this year, as well as the elements that remain timeless. From shaker cabinets to natural tones, islands, and coffee corners, let’s discover the kitchen trends to watch in 2024:
1) Shaker Cabinets
Shaker cabinets with a slim profile and fine molding emerge as an elegant option, adding a touch of sophistication to the culinary space. The use of cabinets with a wood-look finish is a notable trend, offering a warm and natural aesthetic.

2) Natural Colours
Natural tones, such as wood shades, earthy greens, and nature-inspired colours, will gain popularity. Pale colour palettes like shades of gray, beige, and greige dominate, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.

3) Kitchen Backsplash
Quartz backsplashes, as well as waterfall quartz for the island, continue to gain popularity for their durability and refined aesthetics. Porcelain countertops, with thicknesses of 3/4 and 1/2 inch, reflect a contemporary European influence, offering a modern and elegant look. Still in the theme of backsplashes, the installation of subway tiles vertically or in chevron patterns adds a unique and modern visual dimension to the space.

4) Handles
Linear and delicate handles add a touch of modernity and will remain a popular choice in 2024. Another notable element is the adoption of handle-less kitchens or those with finger-pull handles. This minimalist approach contributes to a sleek and contemporary aesthetic.
5) Recessed Hoods
Recessed hoods continue to discreetly blend into the decor, contributing to a kitchen with clean lines.

7) More Round Shapes
One major evolution is the preference for more rounded shapes. This is evident in details such as faucets, islands, and arches (used to separate rooms in the house or in the patio door). These curves bring a natural touch and create a pleasant contrast with the clean lines of other elements in the kitchen.

Black or gold faucets are a bold choice gaining popularity, adding a touch of luxury to the kitchen.
