What is going out of style for kitchens?
Four interior designers have surveyed interior enthusiasts to identify kitchen trends that went out of style in 2023. They suggest that modern farmhouse looks, open floor plans, and industrial designs are becoming outdated. DIY-painted cabinetry is also seen as unprofessional. Additionally, the trend is shifting away from gray tones in kitchens, according to Satsha Lopez-Jaimes, project director for Freemodel.
What is the current trend in kitchen design?
The top kitchen trends for 2024 include blending technology with style and simplicity, featuring smart kitchens with the latest tech, bold backsplashes, eye-catching cabinetry, striking range hoods, and a mix of natural elements. Minimalist aesthetics are also essential for staying on-trend. Well-curated lighting fixtures, including task and ambient lighting, bold statement fixtures, and accent lighting, can create a unique look. Using a variety of lighting types is recommended for a beautiful look.
To maintain cohesive base and wall cabinets, consider a singular pop of color with your island, injecting vibrancy without incorporating all cabinets into the design trend. The large and diverse range of colors and finishes are perfect for creating a bright focal point in your kitchen.
What are the 2024 kitchen trends?
A 2024 report by The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) revealed that clients are prioritizing “sociable, welcoming kitchens that encourage healthy habits with simple, clean designs that connect to the outdoors”. This trend is expected to see significant changes in color, with green being the most popular color choice for cabinets, walls, and backsplashes. Additionally, nearly 60% of respondents said a dedicated beverage area within the kitchen will be in demand.
Fluted wood is another emerging trend in the kitchen, with fluted details taking over cabinets, backsplashes, and islands in natural wood finishes. Nearly one-fourth of designers agreed that fluted finishes would be big in the coming year, particularly with an emphasis on natural, high-texture wood. Designers are working to convince clients to avoid white oak, which is a less sustainable option than other woods such as birch and alder, which are faster-growing trees.
Dedicated beverage areas are also in high demand, with 53% of respondents looking to incorporate a coffee center into the kitchen and 56% mentioning dedicated working areas for small appliances. These beverage centers now include coffee/tea service, water dispensers, under-counter refrigeration, and frozen goods storage for smoothies, shakes, and acai bowls, which have become a big part of what people commonly consume.
Clients usually ask for a countertop espresso machine, built-in wall coffee unit, or under-counter beverage unit, and may also have an additional column or glass front refrigerator to store wine and additional beverages. The beverage/breakfast center is usually positioned away from the main prep area and closer to the breakfast table or seating area.
What makes a kitchen look classy?
A classy kitchen is characterized by the use of high-quality materials, such as marble countertops, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances. These materials not only enhance the appearance but also provide durability and longevity, making them a wise investment. Neutral colors, high-end appliances, open shelving, statement backsplashes, and natural elements are also essential.
Custom cabinetry is another key element of a classy kitchen. These cabinets are custom-made to fit your specific kitchen and can be tailored to your exact needs. You can choose the materials, finishes, and hardware that best complement your style, providing ample storage space for all your kitchen essentials.
In summary, a classy kitchen is a reflection of the quality of materials used, thoughtful lighting, neutral colors, high-end appliances, open shelving, statement backsplashes, and natural elements. By incorporating these elements, you can create a kitchen that is both functional and elegant, making it a hub for family and friends.
What is the trend in door knobs in 2024?

Formani’s range of satin gold door hardware features bold and refined designs, allowing them to blend seamlessly into various decor themes.

What kitchen arrangement is most popular in modern design?
The L-shaped kitchen layout is a versatile design that maximizes storage and workspace, allowing for an uninterrupted work triangle. It can accommodate various kitchen configurations and offers ample storage and countertop space. The U-shaped layout provides ample storage and surrounds the cook on three sides, maximizing efficiency. This layout is suitable for both small and large kitchens. The island layout introduces a central workspace, often with additional storage, seating, or appliances, surrounded by open space on all sides. It promotes workflow and serves as a focal point for social gatherings.
What kitchen hardware is in style for 2024?
In 2024, modern, minimalist hardware will continue to be popular, featuring clean lines, simple shapes, and finishes like matte black, brushed nickel, and polished chrome. Mixed metals, such as gold or brass accents with silver or chrome finishes, are also expected to be incorporated into hardware choices. Statement pieces like oversized knobs or pulls, as well as functional features like pot fillers and touchless faucets, will also be popular.
Modern design can be achieved using both knobs and pulls, with knobs providing a sleek and minimalistic look when paired with flat-front cabinets or drawers, and pulls adding visual interest and a linear element. However, current kitchen hardware trends lean more towards pulls for a cleaner, more streamlined look in line with the contemporary aesthetic.
The classic hardware color is metallic silver or chrome, which has been the standard for decades due to its timeless and versatile nature. It is often used for door handles, cabinet knobs and pulls, faucets, and other fixtures. Other metallic finishes like brass and copper have also gained popularity, but silver or chrome remains the go-to choice for homeowners and designers seeking a classic and elegant look.
What is a modern look for a kitchen?
Contemporary kitchen design often incorporates black, white, and gray colors for a sleek and modern look. Black is often used as an accent color to add depth and contrast, often incorporated through appliances, lighting, and hardware. Dark wood cabinets paired with black accents create a stunning and modern look, making a bold, chic, and sophisticated statement. These timeless and versatile colors can be used in various design styles, from minimalistic to bold and dramatic.
What is the best layout for kitchen appliances?
The conventional “work triangle” in kitchen layouts entails the strategic positioning of the cooktop, sink, and refrigerator in a triangular configuration. This arrangement optimizes accessibility and facilitates an ergonomic stance, which is crucial for efficient and effective cooking.

Installer,and builder with my not so humble opinionsin order😅. No cabinets in corners,very expensive to accessorize. All drawers in base cabinets, except for mixer lifts. Cutting board inner drawer with debris hole,above pullout trashcan. Instead of paper towels,or saran etc because of garbage smell transfer. Toekick vacuum gor a quick sweep/cleanup. Counterdepth extra long upper in angled corner (when you violate #1),a door in the middle directly above counter became an appliance / dry ingredients appliance garage. Closed handles so they don’t catch on clothing. Flank stove with spice rack on 1 side,cookie sheets on the other. They can be as narrow as 5 inches. Really enjoy your articles!
My understanding is that Brits put clothes washing machines in kitchens largely because many people live in buildings that pre-date indoor plumbing, and there either isn’t a space for a separate laundry room or plumbing another room for laundry appliances is difficult and expensive, and the practice kind of stuck even for newer buildings.
20:55 I have no first-hand experience with the knife blocks, but I have seen them in displays. As I recall, though, when America’s Test Kitchen reviewed knife storage systems, they indicated that type works well at first, but with wear and repeated use with proprtly sharpened blades the plastic bristly things become less effective because the knives cut the bristles.
I have the pan/ cutting board organizer and it’s awesome for me. I invested in the rev a shelf double trash can pull out and it’s really good too. I put pull out drawers in all of my lower cabinets. I spent the money to buy quality ones and I have no regrets so far. I am going to replace one cabinet in my kitchen completely with a large pantry cabinet. I’m debating buying a large pantry system to put in rather than individual pull out shelves. The pantry systems are very expensive, however and the individual pull out shelving is more versatile. I put a little spice organizer in one of my drawers and that was life changing. I had them in an upper cabinet on a tiered shelf and I could never see all of the spices I had and they would always fall out on me. Now I can access them and actually see what I have.
I only place light items on high shelves. That way if they fall out it’s not a big deal. I really like the racks to store baking trays etc. In general I find a lot of these things take up a lot of room in the cabinets. While that might be worthwhile in some instances, I prefer the space. And I really hate wire shelves
Hint: also look at the comparative DATES on the good & bad reviews. Often what was a good product has had a lapse in quality – or a product with problems has had those problems fixed in production. If the older reviews cite poor quality, but the more recent reviews cite good quality – they likely improved their product in response to those first reviews.
I live in a house that’s 115 years old. I don’t know when the kitchen was built but it is very basic with lots of deep shelves. I’ve outfitted them with a variety of pull out products from Lynks. They are very well made, easy to install and have held up beautifully for the 3 years that I’ve had them. They have made those nasty and accessible shelves into useful, functional and organized storage. I highly recommend them.
For pans and other flat items, push to open drawers under the base cabinets are a great idea. I’m building an MDF plinth for the base cabinets so that I can have have these drawers, instead of the more common adjustable plastic legs. By the way, nowadays Bob’s more likely to be your aunt, rather than uncle. 😄
This has been one of my favourite articles you have made, particularly because we are building a new house and your kitchen ideas are wonderful. I will for sure be installing a paper towel holder in a drawer. I agree with you. It is one of the most difficult, ugly things to figure out, if it’s left on the counter and I love your idea of putting a mat under the sink and the pull down shelves and appliance shelf if I can fit, I’ll be adding them all great job. I’m thinking of putting my microwave in a drawer. What do you think of that? I’m not getting any younger, and I’m trying to figure out the nicest safest place to put a microwave. We only use it to heat things up and melt things. but I have scared myself a few times taking hot soup out of the microwave so this kitchen I want to put it in the best place. Does anyone else in the comments have a microwave drawer? If so, what do you think?
Only catching this now, but I wanted to say that I really want one of those appliance lift shelves – for my ICE CREAM maker. I almost have the perfect bottom cabinet for one, where I don’t need to have an electrical outlet inside, since there’s one very nearby, but it just isn’t deep enough. But, from my measurements, I think you can put some things underneath it.
Regarding MW, no one brought up microwave drawers. I have the Rev-a-shelf three-tier blind corner base pullouts it is the best purchase I’ve made for my kitchen. I always thought if one has a lot of upper cabinets, it would be cool to have a long, thin grommet that would install on the underside of a wall cabinet that would give a clean opening to feed the paper-towel roll housed inside the cabinet.
35:33 Response to Jackie’s …what are some great examples? I look at the America’s Test Kitchen ratings on YouTube and have found that they seldom steer me wrong. I like the performance and look of the DASH Clear View toaster, an ATK “best buy” (in other words, almost as good as the top pick, but substantially less expensive). An endearing quirk is that it has a very strong pop-up spring that can send your toast airborn like in an animated cartoon, but I am usually standing by with my catcher’s mitt, and if I miss my Norwegian Elkhound (also and by pure coincidence named DASH) is usually standing by for any wild pitches. I also recommend having an elkhound (gorgeous critters) on standby.
@steveLP washers in the kitchen was due to regulations. I think has to do with how dangerous boilers/ water heaters were, and electrical dangers. similar with non mixing taps saw a history article on utube a while back explaining it. So it could still be done bc of regulations or now out of habit/culture. had seen a article of a house for sale in Canada or the usa w a washer and dryer in the kitchen… very rare here for sure. could also be convenience not running waterlines to other spots, in some places in the USA they have their machines in a garage etc. I’ve seen a lot of washer and dryers seem to be in what were porches converted to inside spaces if they aren’t in a basement. I prefer a laundry rm,, and taps that premix- had the 2 separate taps in our old house hated it till we renovated. not mark btw.
Wire pull-out accessories are OK, but they do waste some space – and stuff falls through the cracks WAY too easily and you often have to get on your knees to fish the stuff out again… I prefer a tall, wide drawer (one is usually enough) to store baking pans, cookie sheets and cutting boards upright – but they probably do cost a bit more for equivalent storage volume.
I can reach the bottom two shelves of my wall cabinets, but not the top shelf, so I use the top shelf to store rarely-used or backup items. For instance, the top shelf in my Dish Cabinet holds my backup dishware. I live alone and don’t have visitors, so I store daily-use dishes on the bottom shelf. The ones on the top shelf replenish daily dishes that break (the style is discontinued, so I check eBay for replacements) If I need anything from the top shelves, I have a stepstool that lets me easily reach things. Also, I store all my dry pasta in the wall cabinet over the fridge. I can only access the pasta with the stepstool, but this discourages me just enough to minimize my consumption of pasta carbs. As for the base cabinets, I’m getting too old to be able to get down or up easily from the floor. I got two metal pullout shelves (adjustable width!) off of Amazon and installed them on the floor of two cabinets so I could access the full depth of the interior. I left in the one full-depth shelf in each cabinet and use a large bin as a ‘drawer’ to hold and slide out the upper shelf storage. With tax, it was about $75 for the pair, from KIKIBRO. Critical interior dimensions were 22.5″ D x 13.3″ (adjustable out to 18.5″) W. The biggest problem is finding organizational aids that are renter-friendly. I rent, so I can’t install pulldowns in my wall cabinets. ‘Technically’, I shouldn’t have the pullouts in the base cabinets, but I think I can disguise the 6 holes per base cabinet. The cabinet run in my tiny galley kitchen is only 10ft.
My fav features and gadgets: 1. Kitchenaid mixer with attachments (chopper and pasta) — i insisted on getting mixer lift and near a plug. I do not plug in all the time 2. Vertical pan cabinet with divider (pizza pans, roasting pan, cutting board, cookie sheets, etc) 3. Many cutting board types and colors–dedicated to beef, chicken, onions, tomatoes and last one for other vegetables 4. Pull out drawers with adjustable pegs for different size plates, pans, etc 5. Giant island with flat quartz surface. great for baking or parties 6. Circular rotating tray for canisters and butter (yes, I keep my butter at room temp all the time). Sits in corner, is pretty, and everything is accessible 7. Knife block with scissors 8. Tall pantry cabinet that is 12″ depth max (skip the walk in if space or use for stocking up on paper products) 9. Task lighting — I eliminated upper cabinets over counters to improve the aesthetic, add art and improve lighting 10. Hidden moulding lighting. Those cans and pendants are not good as I’m sensitive to those bright beams of light 11. Big apron sink (single basin) — I use a washtub when I need to wash/rinse separately 12. Microwave mounted under cabinet 13. Spice shelving next to fridge. Please label expiration dates on all spices and food in freezer 14. Trash Compactor next to sink 15. Filtered Water Station between sink and fridge — I drink tea so this space between fridge and sink is the best design 16.Mount vertical paper towel holder to right of sink (I’m right handed) 17.
If you are disabled, the Rev-A-Shelf is the best. Gas-powered will save your shoulders and your spine. I am a certified Aging-in-Place specialist and a licensed occupational therapist. My kitchen has StepWise flooring and is designed to adapt to my future self. Ready for being able to age in place until it is no longer possible.
Pull down dish drainer – OMG and NOT a good OMG either. These were hugely popular here (I live in Israel) many years ago, but they’ve stopped doing them. Why? Unless you leave them down until the dishes are dry, the water from the wet dishes drips down and will RUIN the inside of your cabinet. Blech. Don’t bother.
37:50 Helen, congratulations on your paddle steamer cruise plans, Sounds like the dream vacation I’ll take when I win the lottery. As it is, my next holiday will be chasing the total solar eclipse with my little dog somewhere between San Antonio and Canada on 8 April, 2024. Bought a new car for the trip.
Hi Mark, I prefer the paper towel roll out in the room instead of inside of a cabinet door. Raw meats and door pulls don’t go together well. Mine is currently mounted vertically to the right of and over the kitchen sink. Dish towels to the left for when I am not concerned with contamination. Bob’s our nephew, so we say “Bob’s your nephew”.
