The Elevated Living team had the chance to explore the latest trends in all things kitchen and bath design at the annual KBIS Market. Follow along as we share some of our biggest takeaways on how to elevate your home this year.
1. Decorative Lighting
Lighting, often said to be the jewelry of a home, sets the ambiance and mood in your kitchen or bathroom. Bold, sculptural chandeliers, two-toned pieces, gilded gold, and interesting textures are all making an appearance in trending lighting must-haves this year!
2. Curve Appeal
Enhance your kitchen or bathroom area with a little bit of curve. A new and exciting trend for 2024 is an increase in popularity for circular counters on islands. Curve styled edges on your countertops are IN! Custom countertop edges make your kitchen stand out, revealing more of your personality and style to guests. Many people are turning towards having a different feel than the traditional go-to design. If you are looking for a unique taste for your kitchen or bathroom, this is the ideal outlet for you!
3. All Things Marble
As seen at KBIS Market, nothing says classic & flawless like marble. Set the scene with all things MARBLE, add a little bit of a superior natural surface to your space with rich Italian marble that will turn your space into luxury, as tradition upholds. A timeless selection, marble is an absolutely gorgeous natural stone with every slab being a piece of art. Embrace the beauty of this stone in your home!
4. Mosaic Tile
One of our favorite trends of 2024 for your kitchen and bath area is mosaic tiles. Add a little bit of dynamism to your space with the kaleidoscope of options. If you are wanting to take on the trend and enhance your kitchen or bathroom appearance, mosaic tile adds a visual interest to any wall, floor, or space. We would like to share the following manufactures: Ann Sacks, Artist. Tile, Akto Clin
5. Black & Brass
Black and gold are two color combos that are making an appearance to many kitchen and bathroom spaces this year. From brass hardware in your space to black fireclay sinks, these two make for the perfect dynamic duo. For a minimal impact on your kitchen or bathroom design scheme, there are many ways you can add elements of black and brass into your space to stay on trend. Black and brass integrated burners are beauty queens of cooktops. The additive of brass hardware to cabinetry adds a wow factor to flat panel doors. Remember to complete the look with coordinating lighting. Get creative and throw a hint of black or brass into your space this year!
6. The Scullery
Thinking of kitchen renovations? This historic kitchen layout is making a comeback. A scullery kitchen is essentially a smaller, secondary kitchen space that has plenty of cabinet storage and secondary appliances, such as the relocation of a freezer from the kitchen to the scullery. It also is used to help handle the extra dirty kitchen tasks or maintain overflow from the main kitchen. The scullery is a traditional, yet highly efficient spaces for those that host many gatherings, guests, and those that just don’t want to see the mess.
7. Bold Color Choices
Bold colors are always a great idea to add a visual hint into your spaces. From customizable refrigerator panels and counter spaces to small appliances, this year’s Kitchen & Bath Industry show proved that this trend is evident. Brands like La Cornue, Smeg, Viking, Bertazzoni, Kohler, Forza, and more are hopping on this trend with colorful ovens, small appliances, and more.
From firm cabinet edges to luxury unique lighting choices, we hope you enjoyed reading Elevated Living’s take on seven trends this year that will elevate and enhance your kitchen and bathroom spaces.
