Kitchen trends we're seeing in 2024!
As we move through 2024, the world of kitchen design is booming with innovation and creativity, offering endless possibilities for elevating your home. We have compiled a list of the styles and designs that are shaping kitchen aesthetics this year, providing inspiration and solutions for those transforming their kitchen into a space of style and functionality.
Mixed Metals and Finishes
Similar to the increasingly popular bathroom trend, combining different metal finishes is a popular kitchen trend for 2024. This mix-and-match approach can be seen in faucets, hardware, light fixtures, and even appliances, adding depth and interest to the kitchen design.

Open Shelving and Glass Cabinets
Open shelving and glass-front cabinets are gaining popularity, providing a modern and airy feel to the kitchen. This trend encourages homeowners to showcase their beautiful dishware and decorative pieces while maintaining easy access to everyday items.

Smart Technology Integration
Homes are getting smarter, and the incorporation of smart technology continues to evolve, with more kitchens featuring smart appliances, voice-activated controls, and integrated home systems. Partners Fisher & Paykel have adopted this trend and provide Connected Home appliances. Upgrade your kitchen appliances from an electrical gas stove to an induction cooktop.
Take a look at Fisher & Paykel kitchen appliances featured in our display homes below.
Keeping things clean with curves and zero clutter
Curved benchtops and clean and clear work zones are the new faves. Sleek induction cooktops, which remove the hassle of cleaning around knobs and burners, are growing in popularity, along with minimalist tapware fixtures to give the kitchen a sophisticated edge.
Check out our Saxonvale at HomeWorld Thornton for bringing this look to life.
Bold Colour Palettes & Cool Tiling
Shifting away from the classic all-white kitchen, 2024 sees a trend of bold and vibrant colours taking centre stage with the incorporation of patterned tiles and colourful splashback. Deep blues, sage greens, and warm terracotta create a striking visual impact, adding personality and warmth to the heart of the home.
