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: 
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. 
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. 
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. 
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! 
5. Countertop Extension as a Backsplash
The extension of the countertop into the backsplash is a strong trend in 2024. Whether it’s a full backsplash or a border ranging from 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! 
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 for its resistance to fingerprints. This trend, which started several years ago in Europe, is slowly gaining recognition 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.”

7.Massive Hood
Range hoods are becoming a major decorative element in kitchens in 2024. Whether crafted in molded wood or light cladding (concrete, stucco, etc.), these massive hoods evoke traditional styles with a contemporary twist that has been notably recognized by the designers at Atelier C3 Design. They add a distinctive style to the overall kitchen concept. 
8.Matte White Handle and Faucet
Matte white handles and faucets, which have been popular in recent years, are gaining even more ground 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. 
9.Sand-Colored Silgranit Sink
Silgranit sinks have been around for over 40 years. They have been catching attention in Quebec for more than a decade. Blanco, a leading company in the industry, has introduced a stunning color called Truffle. The sand-colored sink pairs perfectly with other materials and the trending colors of 2024.
