Inset cabinets are constructed with doors or drawers designed to fit flush inside their cabinet frame. This creates a unique, classy, and custom look because there are no protruding edges or corners. To open and close these cabinets, you need a door pull, handle, or knob, since there are no spaces or lips to grip your fingers. Design lovers will enjoy choosing hardware that pops against the color or wood grain of the cabinet.

Inset cabinets are typically available in two looks: flush or beaded. Flush frames have a standard industrial look, with square edges that flush into the cabinet’s face. In contrast, beaded frames have a single border inside the cabinet openings. These create a more utilitarian and decorative look.

Wood is the most common material for making inset cabinets, although many people paint their cabinets a color rather than exposing the original wood grain.

While opulent Art Deco, over-the-top maximalism, and even Barbiecore have all had their moments in the sun this last year, a more serene and calming approach to kitchen design is on the horizon for 2024. Besides a space to expand our culinary creativity, our kitchens have become increasingly important as a place to nurture connections with family and friends.

In short, homeowners want a space that feels like a safe haven. “In 2024, the ‘joy of living’ is high on the priority list for design,” says Kerrie Kelly, CEO and creative director of Kerrie Kelly Studio. “People are increasingly opting for versatile spaces that can adapt to various functions, such as kitchen islands with integrated seating and storage to create a multifunctional hub for cooking, dining, and socializing.”

Whether you’re planning a new build or simply sprucing up your cooking space with a new cabinet paint job, many of these trends can be incorporated into your design plans. Most of the top kitchen trends of 2024 make life in the kitchen easier, more streamlined, and less chaotic. After the uncertainty of the past few years, we all deserve a space that’s a soothing retreat from reality, while still reflecting a stylish palette of beautiful design elements. Here’s what the experts say will be hot in the year ahead.

These kitchen trends in 2024 are going to help you stay ahead of the curve, especially if you’re planning a remodel or are building your home from scratch. From new colors, finishes, shapes to textures and materials, experts reveal all that will be popular next year.

‘Kitchens will feel like another extension of the home; like a room, an additional living space within the house rather than a utilitarian place to prepare food in,’  says interior designer Joy Moyler. ‘This will see more refined materials, art, and antiques, move into the space as it becomes less focused on pure function.’

If you want to give a more on-trend direction to your modern kitchen design, then these 29 points are important to take note of.
