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.”

Most of the top kitchen trends of 2024 make life in the kitchen easier, more streamlined, and less chaotic.
