Is your kitchen due for an update? Refreshing your kitchen cabinets is the perfect way to give your kitchen a facelift. And with so many exciting design trends appearing in 2024, there are plenty of options to create your dream kitchen. So without further ado, here are seven trending cabinet designs to consider in 2024.
1. Open Shelving
If you love to display your cookware or favorite dishes, open shelving is trending design that could work for you. After all, open shelves give you plenty of space to display your favorite items. However, you should remember that open shelving sometimes limits your storage space. And it’s essential that you keep your shelves tidy at all times, since they’re on display. That’s why many people make the best of both worlds by adding open shelving on the sides of end cabinets. With this approach, you still keep the storage space of traditional cabinets. But you also have some open shelving to display your favorite kitchen items or decor.
2. Warm Colors
Are you tired of all the black, white, and gray cabinets that have dominated kitchen trends over the past few years? Then, we have some great news for you! Warm colors are making a comeback in 2024. So go ahead and opt for cheery yellow, serene teal, or rich red kitchen cabinets. Just imagine, you’ll be on trend and create a more inviting kitchen, too. Did someone say dinner party?
3. Focal Kitchen Islands
Kitchen islands are always a useful addition to your kitchen. After all, they create more storage space and workspace. Plus, many kitchen islands now integrate cooktops, sinks, or home bars, too. That’s why making your kitchen island into a focal piece is one of the biggest trends of 2024. Best of all, designing your own kitchen island allows you to make it as elaborate, ornate, or functional as you like. So what are you waiting for?
4. Natural Wood
If you love the look of natural wood, now is the time to let your kitchen cabinets shine in all their natural beauty! That’s because natural wood cabinets are trending this year. In fact, many homeowners are replacing their white kitchen cabinets with white oak. The end result is gorgeous, light cabinets that let the natural woodgrain shine through. But don’t worry if you prefer darker hues. They’re trending, too! Walnut is especially popular this year.
5. Earth Tones
Along with natural wood, earth tones are trending in 2024. Soft earthy hues and desert-inspired colors are particularly popular. So it’s the perfect time to try out those terracotta or sage green cabinets you’ve been dreaming of. Additionally, try combining earth tones with natural wood elements, or add a few houseplants to enhance the nature-based theme for your kitchen. Alternatively, incorporate stone accents to create a calming atmosphere.
6. Hidden Storage
Clean lines with everything tucked away provide a seamless, sleek look. And that’s just what the latest cabinet trends feature. So choose cabinets that integrate hidden storage and built-in appliances. For example, include pull-outs or pull-downs for garbage and recycling. Opt for built-in storage racks and drawer-inserts. Or revamp your entire kitchen with custom cabinets that conceal or integrate your appliances.
7. Built-In Bars and Beverage Centers
Have you ever dreamed of having a wet bar in your kitchen? How about your own designated coffee center? Or maybe a tea station is more your style. Whatever your preferred beverage is, having a bar or beverage center in your kitchen is a perk you’re sure to enjoy. That’s why built-in bars and beverage centers are really having a moment in 2024. So when you’re picking out your new kitchen cabinets, consider including a home bar or beverage center. Whether you choose a simple refrigerated cabinet or transform your kitchen island into a bar, you’ll love the convenience of being able to quickly grab or prepare your favorite beverage in the comfort of your own kitchen.
