INTERIOR DÉCOR Styles and Trends

COLOURFUL
Kitchens

Appliances are slowly but surely becoming the biggest stars in the kitchen, a transition that makes
sense considering how much space they occupy and how significant an investment they can be.

n 2024, the kitchen is going full-blown
technicolour. Gone are subtle colour palettes
like duck egg and deep green. In their place,
Ihomeowners and kitchen designers like
colour schemes and ovens, microwaves and
dishwashers to match, like black or pink, moody
versus bright.

With advancements in smart technology, expect
more and more appliances that seamlessly
integrate into interconnected homes, offering
unprecedented automation and customisation.
Increasingly, manufacturers and consumers are
focusing on appliances that can reduce energy
and water waste.

Fridges with functional features that keep food
fresh for longer will likely continue to trend
in 2024 – humidity-controlled drawers with
adjustable airflow so food can be exposed
to different humidity levels for optimal fresh
storage.

What colour appliances are most popular?
White appliances are back in style, and white
brightens up the kitchen space and is easy
to clean, making them a favourite among
homeowners (especially moms!).
