As fall descends, the kitchen takes center stage yet again. As seasons change, trends shift, and this year’s focus is on designs balancing functionality and cozy aesthetics. Fall 2024 brings a fresh perspective, from warm, earthy tones to clever storage solutions. Here is an overview of the top trends for the season.
What’s In
1. Warm Neutrals and Earthy Hues
Say goodbye to stark white and gray; this fall, the trend is shifting towards charming, inviting shades.Count on a notable increase in cabinets painted in beige, taupe, and soft browns. These colors bring a sense of comfort to a kitchen. While, earthy greens and deep, moody blues create a rich, organic feel.
Key Styles:
2. Textured Wood Finishes
Natural textures are taking the spotlight this fall. Homeowners are looking for wood cabinets with visible grains, distressed finishes, etc. Over 45% of designers have noticed a growing trend in natural wood cabinetry. These finishes add character, perfect for creating a comfortable fall kitchen.
Trending Examples:
3. Bold, Dark Cabinets
Darkened cabinetry, especially rich browns, bold blacks, and lush greens, continues to be popular this season. When paired with lighter countertops and backsplashes, dark colors create a dramatic contrast, offering a bold sophisticated appearance.
Popular Choices:
4. Minimal Shaker Cabinets
Shaker cabinets remain a staple, but slimmer, more minimalist designs are on the rise. The Slim Shaker style offers a streamlined, modern look while maintaining a traditional feel.
Key Example:
5. Creative Storage Solutions
Performance is a top priority this fall. Cabinets with built-in features like pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, and hidden compartments are all the rage. These innovations keep the kitchen tidy and maximize space, making it easier for homeowners to stay organized.
Stylish Options:
- Pull-Out Waste Bins
- Pull-Out Under Sink Storage
What’s Out:
1. Simple White Cabinets
Once the hallmark of a sleek, modern kitchen, white cabinets are being phased out in favor of warmer tones, many designers believe that white can make a kitchen feel cold and sterile, and the desire for more customized, unique kitchen designs is driving this shift.
2. Open Shelving
Open shelving can create a sense of practicality and showcase personality, it may lack functionality for modern homes though. Homeowners choose more concealed storage options to keep kitchens clutter-free.
3. Millennial Gray
Cool grays, which dominated kitchen design in the early 2010s, are going out of style. Designers are moving away from millennial gray in favor of warmer neutrals and vibrant colors.
4. Ornate Cabinets
Ornate designs are being replaced with cleaner, more minimal styles. A desire for simplicity and ease of maintenance drives this trend. People opt for understated designs that let other design elements, like countertops or backsplashes, be the star of the show.
5. Glossy Finishes
Matte or semi-matte finishes have replaced the high-gloss cabinets that once symbolized elegant, streamlined design. They add a refined look, preventing fingerprints and smudges familiar with shiny surfaces. About 60% of newly installed cabinets have matte rather than glossy finishes.
Final Thoughts
Fall 2024 is all about balance—finding harmony between design and functionality. The cabinets’ warm, textured, and dark shades are timeless choices that will keep a kitchen stylish for years. Homeowners want cozy, inviting kitchens with storage solutions to keep the heart of the home clean and functional.
