2024 Kitchen Design Trends and Decorating Ideas

Although I love every kind of space, I have a special fondness for kitchens — and because I know many of you love beautiful kitchen inspiration as well, today I’m sharing some of the top kitchen trends for 2024, along with kitchen decor ideas, design styles, cabinets, lighting inspiration, and much more. 

You’ll find French style kitchens, modern spaces, warm wood kitchen cabinets, coastal kitchens, Mediterranean style kitchens, white oak and white kitchens, unexpected pops of color, and an updated take on the modern farmhouse kitchen.

2024 Kitchen Trends

In 2024 kitchen design trends, you can expect to see more warm wood cabinetry, marble backsplashes, mixed metal finishes, custom hood designs, and unique ceiling treatments (think beams, insets, panels, and shiplap). 

What kitchen styles are trending?  For 2024, kitchen designs are both looking back and moving forward.  In addition to a revival of French country style kitchens, we’re seeing plenty of modern spaces with natural wood cabinets.

In 2024 and beyond, both traditional and contemporary style kitchens will incorporate smart appliances, including ranges with sous-vide functions, Alexa-enabled refrigerators, and smart screens to pull up your favorite recipe or chat with family while you cook. 

Faucets, lighting, and hardware in chic finishes and streamlined silhouettes are quickly becoming the new jewelry of the kitchen.

While open shelving is still in style, kitchen designers are favoring the simple, uncluttered look of one long shelf — perhaps in marble — rather than the stacked wood shelves we’ve seen over the past few years.

This stylish kitchen makeover features a great example of 2024 kitchen designs, with one long marble shelf fitted above a marble backsplash, dark lower cabinets, a European style range, and custom plaster range hood:

Remember, when it comes to designing a kitchen, there really are no rules – other than doing what makes you happy and resonates with your own design style. 

With that in mind, I suggest using these kitchen ideas as a way to see what’s possible and gather new ideas and inspiration for your kitchen.

Although some of the kitchens you’ll see below were designed a few years ago, they’re still on trend, which shows how important it is to plan your kitchen with a long-term, timeless perspective.

Are farmhouse kitchens out for 2024?

While modern farmhouse kitchens will still be extremely popular in 2024, we’ll see this style continue to grow into a more elevated look, borrowing aspects from European farmhouse and French country style kitchens. 

With the addition of natural elements, textures, vintage pieces, and earth tones, farmhouse style is evolving to a classic, timeless aesthetic.

This stylish kitchen is a great example of modern farmhouse style kitchens in 2024.
