1. ANTIQUE HARDWARE
When it comes to kitchen hardware trends, the more popular designs are inching toward mixed metals and antiques. '2024 will make way for a more antique-feeling aesthetic in the kitchen,' says Laura Williams, founder of ATX Interior Design. 'People want their kitchens to be more cozy and lived in, and the antique-looking brass on hardware will add warmth to achieve that look.'
2. DARK WOOD STAIN ON CABINETS
According to designers, a kitchen cabinet color that will never go out of style is dark wood. 'As a society, we are veering away from the minimalist white & black kitchen trend,' says Laura. 'I think we will be seeing a lot more dark wood finish on kitchen cabinets and less of the light oak. These will be complemented with tones that subtly pop like sage greens and powder blues.'
3. ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING
Apart from the usual kitchen pendant lighting, there will be a move towards more architectural lighting — pieces that are not only used for dispensing light but also for adding to the aesthetics.
4. BRIGHT WINDOW CURTAINS
Kitchen window treatments are a great opportunity to bring in color, print, and movement to the room. For those who are on board with the idea of kitchen curtains should pay attention.
5. PAINTED TILES
And finally, gone are the days when kitchen wall tiles and floor tiles were chosen only for their functional purposes. This new year, designers advise to get creative with their designs, and add more personality to this otherwise utilitarian space.
