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
Ilike duck egg and deep green. In their place,
homeowners 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!).
