As we head into the new year, it’s exciting to see what new kitchen trends will emerge. Here are our 2024 Kitchen Trends and predictions.
Green Cabinets: Green cabinets will likely trend in 2024 due to their appeal, emerging as the ideal color choice for 2024 and beyond. Green allows for colorful additions without overwhelming boldness. Trending shades are predicted to cover everything from sage green to deep forest green hues. Here are some Sherwin-Williams colors to watch for.

Wood Cabinets: Wood cabinets are increasingly favored by homeowners, designers, and builders, making a strong resurgence. Both real wood and wood alternatives like Laminate TFL materials are being chosen to add that pop of warmth and wood grain. Lighter wood stains currently dominate non-rustic woods, however, 2024 might witness a rise in rustic knotty woods, reflecting the ongoing preference for bringing natural elements indoors, a trend observed since 2021.
Super-Matte Cabinet Finishes: The growing demand for sleek, matte finishes is notable, particularly in high-end cabinetry. These cabinet finishes are admired not only for their visual appeal but also for their luxurious touch, providing a silky-smooth experience that elevates the typical cabinet feel. Additionally, many super-matte cabinets in the market offer scratch and fingerprint resistance, ideal for bustling households.
Black and Gold: The rising trend in popularity leans toward dark and bold colors, particularly with matte black painted cabinets complemented by gold hardware or accents, emerging as the favored choice for individuals seeking to infuse dramatic elements into their living spaces.
Modern Spanish Style Kitchens: The Modern Spanish style is increasingly shaping home designs, extending its influence on kitchens, bathrooms, and even furniture, marked by chunky arched entryways and exposed wood beams reminiscent of Moorish Architecture. This trend, characterized by warm whites and brown wood grains, distinguishes itself in kitchens and bathrooms, often with curved, or arched details, seen in furniture like China Cabinets and Display Cabinets. This style’s expansion into other areas of home decor could make it a signature look in the USA and Canada. This style trend is being closely monitored by our experts in 2024.
Japandi Style Kitchens: In 2024, the Japandi style takes center stage, replacing minimalism and industrial minimalism trends, offering a blend of warm-stained wood with white or grey-painted cabinets. An uncluttered, neutral palette characterizes Japandi and features organic materials like wood, stone, cotton, and paper—an ideal choice aligning with the rising popularity of wood in kitchen designs.
Hidden Small Appliances – Decluttered Look: In 2023, concealing small kitchen appliances was popular among homeowners, favoring spots like Appliance Garages, Tall Pantries, or Wall Counter Cabinets. Looking ahead to 2024, Larder Cabinets equipped with Pocket Doors, Swing Doors, or Bifold Doors are expected to emerge as the leading choice for hiding small appliances.
Specifically, coffee stations are predicted to be hot in 2024, as the search term “Coffee Bar Styling” was up +1,125% in 2023, according to Pinterest, citing “Cafécore” in their 2024 Pinterest Predicts Report.
Hidden Rooms: The trend-spotters foresaw the rise of hidden rooms or zones in 2023, and their prediction proved true. These concealed spaces, sometimes called a Scullery, continue to gain popularity for production pantry storage, cooking, prep work, and extra storage, persisting as an ongoing trend in home design expected to remain prevalent in 2024.

Built-in Recycling Stations: Homeowners seek ultimate kitchen convenience, leading to the rising trend of multi-zone built-in Recycling Stations for 2024, with the 4-bin variation of Euro-Cargo Bins remaining the most favored choice, accommodating garbage, recycling, and organic waste.
Summary
The focus for the 2024 Kitchen Trends is on warmth, texture, and varied materials. The experts are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of new kitchen and bath trends at the 2024 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, from February 27 to 29, 2024.
