- Written by Joe Rantino
Have you been considering a kitchen renovation project? There’s no time like the present! This year, there are plenty of great design trends you can include to make your space shine.
From smart technologies to seamless modern fixtures, there are so many elements that can help bring your kitchen into the new year. A well-executed renovation project can even boost your property value.
So what’s popular for kitchen renovations in 2024? Here are the best trends to watch out for.
Structure and Layout
An elegant yet functional kitchen space starts with a strong structure. This includes everything from your pantry to your cupboards and even the dishwasher.
In 2024, experts are predicting a rise in sleek, uncluttered natural aesthetics. Streamlined minimalist kitchens are on trend, allowing homeowners to take advantage of open-plain living.
Want to add a little something extra to your kitchen renovation? Additional built-in storage has never been so popular!
Benchtops and Splashbacks
A good benchtop and splashback selection can make all the difference when it comes to designing the perfect kitchen space.
This year, we’re seeing an increase in marble and natural stone benches and kitchen islands. Depending on the material and hue you choose, the result can be earthy and understated or dramatic and opulent.
Splashback trends include boldly coloured tiles, geometric patterns, high gloss finishes, and even slabs of marble or quartz that match the kitchen island.
Plumbing and Tapware
The right plumbing and tapware choices are critical to your kitchen renovation. These simple fixtures can completely change the atmosphere of the space, and even more importantly, the functionality.
Stainless steel is still a popular choice for major fixtures like ovens and range hoods. But 2024 could see a surge in gold and black tapware that makes a statement.
That’s not all. One of the biggest 2024 kitchen trends is sustainability. Water-saving taps can help you improve your kitchen and save on bills.
Kitchen Appliances
Finally, is it time to upgrade your kitchen appliances?
New technologies are on the rise. Increasingly, kitchen renovations include a switch to smart appliances, from voice-activated controls and automated lighting to the latest refrigerator innovations.
Want to take your kitchen to the next level? A plumbed fridge is a great idea! You’ll have constant access to fresh, filtered water and ice without the hassle of freezing trays.
