With 2024 just around the corner, now is the perfect time to start considering what design trends and styles will be popular in the kitchen world. Whether you’re planning a complete renovation or simply looking to make a few updates, staying up-to-date with the latest innovations can help ensure that your kitchen is both practical and beautiful. From sustainable thinking to laminate kitchen worktops and on-trend colour choices, there are plenty of exciting options to choose from. So, let’s take a look at what’s on the roster for next year.
Kitchen splashbacks are experiencing a significant shift in trends for 2024. Interior design trends are leaning towards more natural and soothing elements this year, and splashbacks are following suit. Homeowners and designers are turning towards warmer, earthy tones and muted greens to create a sense of calm and grounding in their kitchen spaces. These colours, often infused with organic textures like marble veining or natural stone finishes, are increasingly popular choices for splashbacks. Designs like these offer a harmonious balance and serve as focal points, adding depth and character to kitchens.
We have a wide variety of stunning splashbacks available here at Savoy Timber in all styles, colours and finishes to suit all kitchens. However, we have a few recommendations if you’re looking for the latest trends. Choose between our gorgeous Painting Brown Zenith Splashback 3000 x 600 x 9mm, Rouille Zenith Laminate Splashback 3020mm x 600mm 9mm and Marble Veneto Wilsonart Splashback 3000 x 595 x 9mm for the perfect natural and earthy vibes that’ll ensure your kitchen is soothing and stylish in 2024.
The trend towards sustainability in kitchen design isn’t going anywhere. More homeowners than ever are now prioritising eco-friendly practices. However, implementing sustainable features does not have to be a lengthy task. Making a few small changes here and there can significantly influence your environmental impact. It can be as simple as actively choosing energy-efficient appliances, opting for eco-friendly materials, and keeping up with your recycling.
One easy way to make your kitchen more sustainable is to invest in some reusable kitchen storage, which can help limit waste. Using reusable containers for food storage can minimise single-use plastic, keep ingredients fresh for longer periods, and reduce food waste (plus, it looks nicer in the cupboard and helps you stay organised!). Additionally, composting any organic waste like vegetable trimmings, fruit skins, and peels is a sustainable habit that can contribute to an eco-conscious kitchen environment, in line with the growing emphasis on environmental responsibility without too much extra effort!
Unsurprisingly, kitchen islands are still a popular feature in modern kitchen designs. Kitchen islands are versatile and multifunctional, providing extra counter space, storage options, and a gathering spot in the kitchen. They make meal prep easy, offer additional storage, and create a central place for dining, socialising and having a good cup of tea. And in 2024, laminate kitchen worktops will be the preferred countertop choice for many homeowners because of their versatility and affordability.
At Savoy Timber, our laminate kitchen worktops come in a wide range of styles, including stone and wood style finishes, providing the aesthetic appeal of expensive materials at a fraction of the cost. Stone-style laminate worktops like our Granite (Rossini Granite) 30mm Laminate Kitchen Worktop and Marble Noir Wilsonart Worktop 3000 x 600 x 30mm
offer the elegance of marble or granite, adding sophistication to kitchen islands without the hefty price tag.
On the other hand, wood-style laminate worktops like the Walnut Block Wilsonart 40mm Worktop and Omega Nordic Beech Worktop provide a warm, natural look that creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere in kitchens. With their durability and diverse design options, it’s not hard to see why laminate worktops are a practical and stylish choice for kitchen islands in 2024!
Ultimately, though, it’s important to have a kitchen that reflects your personality and workflow, regardless of the current trends! So you should always opt for what you like over trends!
