From cabinet colors to backsplash choices and everything in between!
The kitchen is one of the most used spaces in the home, so it’s only right that you’d want it to be an accurate reflection of your design aesthetic. It’s where you prepare meals, gather with loved ones and maybe tackle homework with the kids, if your space allows. Even if a gut renovation isn’t on your calendar, though, you can find inspiration in this rundown of the top kitchen trends for 2024, according to professional designers.
Whether you love the idea of going bold with a color ( green is trending , for instance) or prefer the warmth of wood tones, there’s a kitchen design style out there for you that can be completed without a major overhaul to the space. You can introduce textured backsplash tiles for visual appeal, pull your kitchen together with herringbone flooring or incorporate brass accents for a sophisticated flair. If you don’t want to break the bank, the design pros we consulted say upgrades can be as simple as carving out a coffee nook with a cart or showing off your favorite artwork (conversation pieces are always a good idea).
So, regardless of your lifestyle — whether you live solo, have a large family or enjoy entertaining regularly — don’t think twice about experimenting with paint colors, cabinet choices, tiles, countertops, flooring, decorative accents and more, even if you have a small layout.

Coffee Corners
“A growing trend is the incorporation of dedicated coffee corners in breakfast areas: Homeowners are requesting coffee bars that can store coffee, tea, breakfast foods, fruit, cups, bowls and other essentials. This dedicated space allows for a convenient and stylish way to start the day.” Malka Heft, Think Chic Interiors

Brass Accents
“In 2024, we expect brass accents to continue trending in popularity. Versatile by nature, brass exudes a classic and timeless appeal that creates a sense of sophistication in both traditional and modern design environments. It also creates visual interest and contrast by allowing other key design elements and materials — such as marble or wood — to shine, making it a popular choice amongst our clientele.” – Paul Kropp, Bakes & Kropp

Custom Hoods
“The trend of a custom hood — but at an affordable cost — is making its way into the kitchen. The hidden hood is really making a run for it and will continue because it gives people options on how to make that piece interesting and unique. It can be simple with different shaped drywall around it, and it can be designed with tile, metal or stone around it along with many other materials.” – Linda Hayslett, LH Designs
