Kitchen: Inspirations and Trends 2024

 

The minimalist luxury aesthetic has been on the rise for a while but is predicted to break through completely in 2024. How does that translate to premium kitchen design? Expect beautifully crafted cabinets in muted colours with luxury elements like rose-gold fixtures and marble worktops, striking stainless steel, a rich presence of natural materials, wood and frequent use of contiguous, statement splashbacks. Minimal luxury is not flashy at all, but reads as very elegant, and polished with refined finishes. Thus, the expressive design of the new SieMatic Mondial style world speaks a minimalist, modern and geometric design language without traditional ornaments and trappings. Expressive materials and material thicknesses are accompanied by bold colours and shapes, which transcend the boundaries of traditional kitchen design. A fascinating interplay that opens up a world of opulence, simplicity and sensuality where nothing seems superfluous. Time for an inspiring glimpse into the future of luxury kitchen trends for 2024.

 

 

What is an ‘evergreen’ in the kitchen world? The answer to that question is the elegant use of wood, executed in all shades, textures and compositions. Whether it’s the scenic immediacy of a natural American walnut as at ARAN Cucine or with wall-high, wooden cabinets combined with the Dekton® Ukiyo durable, grooved tiles – wood stimulates the senses and evokes a sense of well-being by creating a beautiful and peaceful space.

 

 

Boldy designed fume hood

Tone-on-tone is also gaining popularity, extending to taps and accessories for a sense of luxurious harmony in the kitchen. Functional elements like the cooker hood turn into bold design pieces and are given vibrant, metallic finishes to illuminate the space with precious reflections. For example, Falmec introduces a new Light version with graceful profiles in a bronze finish, characterised by a painterly effect. Hidden austerity, cleverly concealed in the cabinet or a cooker hood as a masterpiece ?

 

 

 

 

Optimal harmony & comfort

The traditional notion that the kitchen should open onto the living room to create a fluid and coordinated interior is passing from favour this year. In the year 2024, we want to harmonise the kitchen as a space by integrating the dining-cum-bar area. Here, every element is carefully designed to fit into an aesthetic whole. Kitchen islands are, in practical terms, taking over the role of a dining table, with more and more seating, making it easier to socialise with each other in the cocoon of the kitchen space. Combining customisation and functionality, this approach provides visual cohesion and practical comfort, with sculptural design making its presence felt. From a witty interplay of lines inviting creative expression by designer Bieke Casteleyn, to the warm intimacy, noble materials and clean lines of interior architect Isabelle Onraet.

 

 

 

 

Rooted in professional kitchens but beloved by many home cooks, the chic stainless steel kitchen setting is regaining popularity. This trend extends beyond appliances and smaller accessories too. Capitalising on the industrial, minimalist trend in interior design, stainless steel is recognised for its durability, hygienic properties and ease of maintenance. Better yet, as the material ages, it takes on an elegant patina. Want to create a fascinating contrast? That is achieved, again, with natural materials such as timber and natural stone that soften the overall look and create a warm atmosphere.

 

Grandiose green

Green is hotter than hot. Whether taken literally as a trending colour or figuratively to help reduce the impact of our ecological footprint in terms of the kitchen world. Franke, for example, impresses with its economical and eco-friendly Vital tap, which purifies water of microplastics and harmful germs using a high-tech and ultra-fine membrane. While Scavolini, together with Diesel Get Together, has designed a kitchen as a versatile system defined by its modular components. The intent behind it? To create dynamic mix and match options for creating your own furniture system, without limitations.

 

 

 

 

Dominant marble

In 2024, we see a growing enthusiasm for natural materials to enhance the calming aspect in the kitchen. Natural stones are setting the tone for counter tops, floors and splashbacks in kitchens. Dark marble slabs with striking and dramatic veining are particularly popular. These materials not only exude splendour but are also durable and often the environmentally conscious choice. By choosing dominant marble or stone counter tops or splashbacks, you not only define the look of your kitchen, but also the use of the rest of the space. Let 2024 begin with a kitchen that exceeds expectations.
