Kitchen colors 2024
If you decide to update your kitchen, it is worth considering that bold bright colors are no longer in trend. Their presence is permissible only in limited quantities, if the design style dictates it. A fashionable kitchen design 2024 should have a neutral light or dark design. Pay attention to white, milky, beige and, in antipode, laconic black.
For those who are used to surrounding themselves with catchy and original colors, we advise you to experiment and try to decorate the kitchen area in a combination of white and black colors. Small bright accents in details are allowed, but they are undesirable.
Stylistic kitchen trends in 2024 are minimalism, loft, hi-tech, scandi, country and ethnic styles that deny bright colors. The interior should be as monochromatic as possible, with the exception of a couple of bright accents that are dictated by the design style.
Bright kitchens
The bright kitchen can be considered a classic for all time. She makes the room cozy and welcoming.
It may seem to many that a light tone is limited to only a couple of shades, but this is not so. The color scheme includes several dozen options, such as the color of baked milk, porcelain, cream, vanilla, creme brulee, ivory and many others.
Pastel colors will go well with the natural wood tones of the accompanying furniture. They look extremely impressive both in a spacious kitchen and in a small room, visually expand the space and increase the height of the ceilings. Modern technologies make coatings non-staining and easy to clean, so cleaning such a kitchen will not take much time.
Shades of light look good in both natural and artificial lighting. In addition, light furniture accumulates and multiplies light, which is important for rooms with a small window and dim lamps.
Dark kitchen
Many have managed to fall in love with black kitchen sets for their conciseness and style. However, kitchen design trends in 2024 has its own nuances. So, when designing, it is worth giving preference to the color of charcoal. Surfaces may have a slight natural sheen, but mirror planes are excluded.
Pay attention to the touch-soft matte finish. It is not only practical and pleasant to the touch, but has an extremely unusual appearance that attracts attention.
Unfortunately, the dark color used in small spaces visually “presses”, so if you are not the owner of a large kitchen, we advise you to abandon this option or consider combinations of black and white.
Combinations
The combination of black and white creates the perfect harmony, a versatile composition that will never go out of style.
With the right combination of dark and light shades, even a fairly modest room will seem more spacious. So, it is possible to install a black headset with white walls and an apron. This combination will look good even in the smallest kitchen. A row of light matte upper cabinet fronts surrounded by dark fronts will create contrast and lighten the overall picture. A black countertop against the background of milk cabinets will add juiciness and softness due to the right contrast.
Materials and textures for walls, ceilings and floors
Fashion is cyclical and has returned to smooth practical walls without textures. Especially popular in 2024 will be white with light shades of pink, greenish, cream or gray.
Ceiling decoration, on the contrary, allows the use of a large relief.
- An excellent solution for budget repairs will be polystyrene tiles with a three-dimensional pattern. It’s inexpensive and looks decent.
- With a more impressive estimate, it is possible to create a relief using plaster. This option is close to classical stucco both externally and in terms of wear resistance.
The main focus on the updated kitchen area can be juicy flooring. This option diversifies the interior and makes it catchier. The material can be different, whether it is linoleum, tile, porcelain stoneware or flexible tile. Designers suggest using contrasting or even bright colors that act as an antipode to the overall style of the room. If such a daring decision is alien to you, give preference to wood-like floors, they always remain in fashion.
Kitchen furniture materials and textures
The choice of furniture for the kitchen is no less important than the overall finish. Keep in mind that modern kitchen sets are becoming more and more like ordinary furniture that we are used to seeing in living rooms. In the trend are cabinets with painted or wooden facades, a retractable countertop, long open shelves.
The main rule that should be followed when choosing furniture for the kitchen is versatility and ergonomics. You should not buy those items that are intended for beauty, and not for use.
Kitchen shapes
Many experts believe that the classic version of the kitchen set may fade into the background. Some designers recommend looking at facades finished with designer plywood or veneer.
Others say that when decorating, you should give preference to an apron, a dining area, and even floors. Cabinets, with this approach, should become as invisible as possible. Trends also speak of the complete replacement of the headset with open shelves mounted on the wall in an asymmetrical manner or simply at different levels.
Among other things, it is worth noting antitrends:
- Avoid handles on kitchen cabinets.
- Give preference to Scandinavian three-level kitchens in the ceiling. The gap between the cabinet and the ceiling is not welcome in the new season.
- If we are talking about ethnic styles, take a closer look at the lower cabinets without doors. Replacing doors with textile curtains in many ways gives convenience, comfort and allows you to update the interior in a matter of seconds.
- Avoid flashy jewelry and frills. Convenience and simplicity are in vogue.

From there, the style combines the incongruous: rough industrial finishes and high-tech equipment against the backdrop of designer furniture.
When designing a kitchen in this style, give preference to natural raw materials, stainless steel elements, tiles and concrete. Do not forget that style implies a large number of modern household appliances. As a rule, such options are chosen by young families without children and bachelors.
Scandinavian

When choosing this style, you should not highlight the floor and ceiling from the overall picture. The ceilings are decorated in white shades, and the floors are textured like a tree. It is possible to use materials imitating natural stone in the floor part of the working area. The style is perfect for families with children due to the lack of unnecessary details.

All materials used to create a kitchen in this style must be natural and environmentally friendly.

Such a kitchen should be as comfortable as possible. The carefully thought-out arrangement of functional areas and the distance between appliances and drawers is designed to ensure that everything you need is at hand during the cooking process.
Neoclassical kitchens
If you want to stay in trend, but novelties in design are alien to you, consider the neoclassical style. It combines timeless vintage and modern trends.
This style is based on the use of a natural palette of light shades, an unusual combination of classic and modern elements, ergonomics, conciseness and an abundance of structures. You have the right to be free to choose the style of details such as lamps, handles, faucets and dining group items.
How to arrange kitchen lighting

When decorating a small kitchen, small pendant spherical lamps are acceptable.
Do not forget about the need for accent lighting in certain areas, such as the food preparation and cutting area. These areas can be illuminated using a flexible RGB strip or small spots placed on rails or facades.
Do not neglect the internal lighting of cabinets. Even with sufficient kitchen lighting, the far corners remain in the shadows and make it difficult to find the desired item.
Pay attention to dimmers (electrical power regulators). They allow you to increase or decrease the brightness of the lighting, depending on the time of day, as well as change the color scheme.
