9 Kitchen Trends for 2024
The kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where design, functionality, and conviviality meet. The 2024 kitchen trends highlight distinctive elements that transform this central space of the home. Here are the nine must-have trends for kitchens this year: 
Kitchen Trend No. 1 – Rounded Island
Kitchen islands take on a new shape in 2024 with elegant curves. The base cabinets of the island adopt a rounded form and are often finished with small slats or ceramics to embrace the shape and provide a unique texture. Additionally, curves are becoming more common at the countertop level in the LUNCH area. This countertop overhang is often supported by round legs, adding a retro and refined touch to the island. 
Kitchen Trend No. 2 – 3/4” Shaker Door Panel
We have often seen wider 2 1/4’’ shaker doors in recent years. The 2024 trends are leading us towards a cleaner and more discreet look. The smaller 3/4’’ shakers are available in solid woods such as cherry, oak, maple, and also in polymer. These finishes provide a more minimalist yet elegant aesthetic. This type of panel is at the heart of the kitchen trends. All these door models are available for your kitchen project. at Atelier C3 design. 
Kitchen Trend No. 3 – The Trend is Wood
Wood remains highly trendy in kitchens for 2024. This year, it stands out in medium tones (orange and caramel) with lots of visible knots. It is mainly seen in cabinets, flooring, or the integration of decorative shelves in kitchens. 
Kitchen Trend No. 4 – Heat-Resistant Countertops
Atelier C3 Design’s favorite! Ultra-compact stone and natural stone countertops (cut into slabs rather than blasted) are very trendy in kitchens for 2024 due to their heat resistance. Ultra-compact stone, such as Dekton or Terracanto, chosen in a matte finish, provides exceptional durability, meeting the growing market demand. These materials are both aesthetic and durable. At Atelier C3 Design, we offer all the latest from these companies for your home! 
Kitchen Trend No. 5 – Countertop Extension as Backsplash
The countertop extension as a backsplash is a strong trend in 2024. Whether it’s a full backsplash or a border of 4 to 12 inches in height, this visual continuity adds depth and elegance to the kitchen. It’s a chic design solution that fits well with any project! 
Kitchen Trend No. 6 – The New Brushed Nickel Finish
Brushed nickel is making a gradual comeback in 2024, this time with warmer tones. This brushed metallic finish with a golden undertone, designed for faucets and handles, is highly appreciated as it does not leave marks with use. This trend, which started several years ago in Europe, is quietly gaining attention in Quebec. The designers at Atelier C3 Design have noticed a Quebec-based company, Baril, that pays tribute to this finish and calls it “Polished Nickel.”

Kitchen Trend No. 7 – Massive Hood
Hoods are becoming a major decorative element in the kitchen in 2024. Made of molded wood or lightweight cladding (such as concrete, stucco, etc.), these massive hoods evoke traditional styles with a contemporary twist that is highly noted by the designers at Atelier C3 Design. They add a distinctive style to the overall kitchen concept. 
Kitchen Trend No. 8 – Matte White Handle and Faucet
Matte white handles and faucets, already popular in recent years, are gaining even more traction in 2024. The lighter color adds a visual softness to the kitchen. They pair perfectly with other current trends, offering harmony in kitchen design. The kitchen trends for 2024 favor matte finishes for handles and faucets. 
Kitchen Trend No. 9 – Sand-Colored Silgranit Sink
Silgranit sinks have been around for over 40 years and have been gaining attention in Quebec for more than a decade. The company Blanco, which stands out in the industry, has released a beautiful color called truffle. The sand-colored sink pairs perfectly with other materials and the trendy colors of 2024. All models are available at our trusted partner, Lacroix Décor. 
By incorporating these trends into your kitchen, you will create a space that is not only functional but also incredibly stylish. These design elements, both modern and timeless, promise to make your kitchen the true heart of your home in 2024.
