In a period in which functionality is increasingly linked to feelings of comfort, hospitality and the joy of living, the trends in kitchen furnishings are moving in the same direction.

Whether you are planning to move into a new home or simply want to update your kitchen in the new year, using these colors will be one way to make sure your kitchen will be "trendy".

So, specifically, what are the color trends for kitchens in 2024? Well, keep reading:

Black and dark grey

Dark colors will dominate in kitchen furnishings for 2024. Choose black or dark grey for your furniture, furnishing accessories and also for the walls (and perhaps creating a contrast with a lighter shade on the backsplash, the island or the worktops and shelves). This play of contrasting shades will help you increase the lumination and expand the space, especially in very small kitchens.

Dark blue and olive green will also be very popular in 2024. These natural and relaxing shades that will help create a more intimate and welcoming environment in the kitchen. Again, contrasts with lighter shades in strategic areas will help complete the look.

Lighting will also play a fundamental role in kitchen furnishings for 2024: the preference will be for low, soft lights, accent lighting and even candlelight in appropriate spots. The use of a spotlight can also help complete your lighting needs in the kitchen.

Bright accessories

Finally, the use of "bright tools", utensils, fittings and accessories will be part of the new look for kitchens in 2024. For example, gold or copper handles (on kitchen cabinets), will add elegance and reflect the light. Stainless steel chandeliers and sinks will also help highlight the beauty of the dark tones while helping to illuminate the environment.

Are you ready for your new kitchen?
