The kitchen is called, “the heart of the home” for good reason. Freshome.com claims, “The kitchen is the new living room” (Freshome.com/2013/10/24/is-the-kitchen-the-most-important-room-of-the-home) for a good reason. It’s not only where we prep and eat our food, but it’s where we congregate, where we have our best discussions, where we enjoy a nosh with friends, and always seem to feel at ease.
As this area can truly make or break a home, knowing the newest design trends is rather important.
Here are the top 6 kitchen design trends of 2024
- Islands are HUGE, literally. Not only do we prepare food for them, but we entertain, eat, do homework, and seem to run our house from them. Therefore, we need the space to do so. Large islands are now created with back-to-back cabinets for double the storage capacity.
- Did I mention we love islands? Not only do we want one large island, but we want TWO large islands. This allows for a sleek look where all appliances and gadgets can be stored in their own space, and clutter is now removed from the countertops. It also allows the ultimate entertaining space for those who like to prepare the food separate from serving it.
- To maintain a sleek & clean look while maximizing storage capacity, pantries are now hidden behind cabinet doors yet large enough to walk in. Wine enthusiasts love the hidden cabinets as they can now store their expensive wine and refrigerator out of sight.
- While certain small appliances, utensils, and cookware should always remain hidden, many elements of the modern kitchen are now on display. Open shelving is being used more than ever in lieu of upper cabinets. We often spend a small fortune on dishes alone, so why not display them as functional artwork?
- Two things remain constant in the kitchen. 1. Storage is king. 2. We can never have enough. Pinterest is not the only one with great ideas on how to utilize a small space. We can design your ideal kitchen with appliances, garages, and cabinets customized for trash and recyclables.
- In addition to the oversized islands, we also love oversized refrigerators and appliances. Unfortunately, a frequent mistake of homeowners is to assume all appliances are the same size and design the kitchen based on that assumption. Please measure accordingly before designing the heart of your home.
