Homeowners are embracing bold colors, choosing purposeful spaces and leaning away from quartz in favor of natural stone in their kitchens, according to a panel of interior designers speaking at 20×20 Story: Kitchen Styles, Finishes and Materials for the Coming Year at the NAHB International Builders\u2019 Show (IBS).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel, comprised of interior designers Nar Bustamante of the Nar Design Group,<\/a> Jeanne Chung of Cozy Stylish Chic<\/a> and Christopher Grubb of Arch-Interiors Design Group Inc<\/a>., shared their experiences with clients and identified common trends they are seeing, and are likely to continue through 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demonstrating these trends with a portfolio of recent projects, in a lightning-fast, 20-second-per-slide format, the panelists explored kitchen trends that see homeowners drilling down on design details, rethinking the functional opportunity of the kitchen, and taking advantage of a central space at home to promote creativity and self-expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to bespoke metal accents, slide-out, toe-kick, banquette and hybrid open\/closed storage, lighter woods, split plumbing fixtures, layered lighting and integrated breakfast eating space, these are some of the top kitchen trends for 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolder colors<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-white kitchens are out, with warmth and personality taking precedence in the heart of the home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe kitchen is a space that has to reflect personality,\u201d which means bold and statement-making colors, says Chung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an easy add with paint or wallpaper, easy to change out later on,\u201d says Chung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCustomers are leaning into darker cabinetry,\u201d says Grubb, and are often using dark tones on lower cabinets, with contrasting uppers in a lighter color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knee space under the kitchen island<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space underneath an island is functional for seating, but also represents an area that is an often-forgotten focal point in a kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bustamante says that homeowners are getting creative with \u201ccurves and stone foot ledges.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamless paneling<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners are looking to \u201ckeep things clean and integrated,\u201d says Bustamante, which is where flat, seamless paneling comes in.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t want your kitchen to jump out at you,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This applies to cabinetry and to flat-paneled appliances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood countertops<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

The sultry richness of exotic wood countertops, like marine-grade wood, is a lure for homeowners, according to Chung.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey bring warmth to a room where you typically have a lot of cold surfaces,\u201d visually, says Chung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are not heat resistant but are otherwise durable and food safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While less exotic than marine-grade wood, butcher block counters are making a comeback, according to Chung, and serve a dual purpose, by introducing warmth and increasing usable prep space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing natural stone over quartz<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While quartz has been the darling of kitchen materials for several years, more and more clinets are turning to natural stone, according to Grubb.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s seeing a move towards porcelain in flooring, especially with oversize tiles. Homeowners \u201clike the dramatic size,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling chef stations<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindful of fostering an indoor\/outdoor connection, which is often extended from the kitchen, homeowners are looking for ways to transport their prep easily when they want to dine al fresco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A butcher block workstation on wheels offers \u201cversatility to carry a workspace outdoors,\u201d says Chung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sliding backsplash<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trend makes the kitchen more functional for home cooks, by offering smart storage in an ideal location for prep, particularly for spices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople love to have spaces at arm\u2019s length while they are cooking,\u201d says Chung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back kitchens<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners still love the open-concept floor plan, but don\u2019t love having their prep on display when entertaining, which is why back kitchens are becoming more popular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back kitchen is an adjacent space, similar to a scullery, where unsightly prep is tucked behind the main entertainment space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixing fixtures<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For greater variety and visual texture, Grubb sees homeowners choose fixtures in the same finish family but mixing styles and sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also trending, according to Grubb, is oversize, long hardware. \u201cI think it’s more dramatic. It adds a linear quality,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n
