As we approach the new year, staying on top of the latest home trends is not just a part of our job at Spectrum Stone Designs – it’s our passion. We love the opportunity to infuse creativity into our beloved customers’ spaces, especially in their kitchens. The end of the holiday season is the perfect time to explore the top 5 kitchen design trends to look for in 2024. 

According to House Beautiful, the kitchen reigns supreme as the most frequented space in any home. So why not transform it into an oasis of beauty and peace? House Beautiful emphasizes the evolving roles of kitchen islands in 2024. These versatile spaces serve as seating, cooking, prep space and even bars. The addition of seating around an island alleviates the pressure on the cook or host, creating a sense of belonging within kitchen activities. Imagine an island not just as added counter space but as a storage haven with drawers. Some kitchen islands have an open concept, allowing for even more design creativity by letting you see what is being stored inside.

Let’s paint a picture with colors: Livingetc forecasts the rise of butter yellow and pistachio green as prominent interior paint colors in 2024, particularly within kitchen spaces. Butter yellow, a fashion favorite in recent years, is a warm yet not overpowering hue to brighten up your kitchen. Meanwhile, pistachio green offers a natural and revitalizing tone to the kitchen.

Now, let’s turn back the clock with “old-school” kitchen trends making a comeback, as highlighted by Southern Living. Natural paint colors like pistachio green pair perfectly with natural-colored cabinets. Wood tones effortlessly add warmth and coziness to any space. For those not seeking an entire cabinet overhaul, introducing natural wood accents such as decorative bowls or floating shelves can recreate the look with ease. Southern Living also explains the return of cozy corner nooks, for casual dining areas. This concept harmonizes with the multi-functional island, blending convenience and comfort. Built-in seating paired with plenty of natural light creates an elegant environment in your kitchen.

At Spectrum Stone Designs, our enthusiasm for staying on top of upcoming trends is matched only by our delight in creating concepts our customers dream up. Guiding families to discover what best suits their home and lifestyle is our passion. As we embrace the new year, we look forward to collaborating with our existing customers and welcoming new families into the Spectrum Stone Designs experience. Here’s to a Happy New Year filled with fresh inspirations and designs!
