Six Trends in Kitchen Design in 2024<\/h2>\n

With more homeowners opting to stay in their homes due to today\u2019s housing market, more are choosing to remodel their current spaces. In fact, according to one study, over 62% of homeowners are planning some kind of home renovation this year.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kitchen is an ideal place for a remodel – for many of us, it\u2019s the hub of a busy home. So if a new kitchen (or even just some upgrades) are on your project list for 2024, then take a look at our list of six of the design trends for modern kitchens. Get ready to get some inspiration!<\/p>\n

1. Slab Backsplashes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Granite<\/a> has been the most popular choice for kitchen countertops for decades now. Recently, the trend has shifted to include a matching granite backsplash instead of the traditional tile. Some homeowners are even deciding to install a backsplash that covers the entire wall up to the ceiling! We\u2019re not saying you have to go that far, but extending the same countertop scheme up the kitchen wall can create an amazing dramatic effect, as well as a cohesive appearance.<\/p>\n

2. Large Kitchen Islands<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Smaller kitchen islands are declining in popularity, while large kitchen islands (as in over 7 feet long) are gaining momentum. A kitchen island not only provides more storage space for cooking tools, but also creates a focal point for eating or just gathering.<\/p>\n

An island is also another place to tie together a kitchen\u2019s style, with a top that matches the countertops. \u201cThe waterfall\u201d effect, with the top extending down the sides, has also been gaining popularity recently.<\/p>\n

3. Beverage Stations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s coffee, tea, or smoothies, dedicated beverage stations are becoming a more common sight in modern kitchens. Rather than take up counter space with a prep area for that pre-workout smoothie, homeowners can now have an area tailor-made for the job. These areas not only contain all of the appliances necessary, but can also be constructed to include their own beverage refrigerator!<\/p>\n

4. Lots of Color<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Monochromatic is out and color is in! More homeowners in 2024 are choosing to either embrace the natural wood color of their cabinets, or give them a splash of color. When painting cabinets, it\u2019s important to pick a color that you won\u2019t get tired of, and also one that can get along well with other colors. For these reasons, shades of blue are the most popular color choices for cabinets.<\/p>\n
