What Home & Kitchen Appliance Trends Will We See More of in 2024?
The modern kitchen is more than a space for preparing food. It’s a space to enjoy the company of family and friends over a warm meal and a drink. This is an aspect heavily reflected with the appliances trends for the upcoming year.
In 2024, open plan spaces with space-saving solutions are becoming more and more common in kitchen design. Integrated appliances with smart features that save you time are also taking the scene, allowing you to make your home more efficient.
Open Kitchen Spaces with Integrated Appliances
Open plan kitchens have been dominating the interior trends for quite a while. In 2024 we will see even more spacious, open kitchen layouts combined with sleek, integrated appliances. Built-in kitchen appliances are a natural choice with an open kitchen because they seamlessly integrate within your cabinets, providing a clean line and unobstructed path.
But you can take this trend one step further by choosing panel-ready appliances. This style works best with integrated fridges and dishwashers, but you can sometimes see it with integrated washing machines as well.
Who is this trend suitable for?
An integrated, open plan kitchen could be the right choice for you if you’re looking for a premium look. Rooms with an open layout tend to flow seamlessly into each other, giving your home a modern, luxurious feel. It also works well in houses where you don’t have a separate kitchen and dining room as it opens up more space for interacting with guests while cooking.
Kitchen Islands with a Hob or Range Cooker
A kitchen island is often not a practical solution due to the amount of space it takes up. If you do have the space for it, however, you might want to consider integrating an induction hob or even a range cooker into it.
This way you will not only keep up with the kitchen trends in 2024, you can also efficiently utilise more space in your kitchen. This centralised placement of your cooker allows you to look around the rest of the house while cooking – perfect if you enjoy talking to guests while preparing dinner.
Who is this trend suitable for?
You should consider installing a hob or range in your kitchen island if you like to engage with family and friends while cooking. With the central position of the hob and extra sitting spaces around the island, you can interact with people while you bake, stir and fry. Islands in general also give you more counter space to unleash your full culinary potential.
Undercounter Wine Coolers
Undercounter, integrated wine coolers are not only stylish, but also very practical in a modern kitchen. A wine cooler keeps beverages at the perfect temperature, so you can always enjoy a chilled glass of your favourite cabernet sauvignon or sauvignon blanc.
Who is this trend suitable for?
If you often host dinner parties where the wine keeps flowing all night long, then you will definitely benefit from an integrated wine cooler. Not only will you keep your kitchen trendy, but you can also show off your impressive wine collection.
Modern Stainless Steel Appliances
Stainless steel appliances are one of those timeless trends that will never go out of style. Steel complements all cabinet colours and tones of wood making it a great choice for any kitchen. The durability of stainless steel also makes it suitable for even the most demanding kitchen environments. These appliances are also easy to clean, guaranteeing effortless maintenance and a stunning look for longer.
Who is this trend suitable for?
If you’re opting for bold coloured cabinets or walls in your kitchen, but want to have a modern finish with the appliances, then stainless steel is the perfect option for you. This trend is definitely also for those of you looking for kitchen appliances that are easy to maintain and will remain trendy for years to come.
