Monday Market Update: What’s Cookin’ For Kitchens In 2024

Fun (and many affordable!) ways to update the most popular room in the house! 

It’s time. Time to go beyond open concept kitchens, farmhouse style sinks and quartz countertops. 2024 looks to be the year that kitchen concepts take steps forward into a new modern… and we are excited to share 3 articles that define what that just might look like! If you are looking for easy ways to update your cabinets (not just paint!), ready to see the new and improved (and clay!) vent hood and incorporate beverage areas – read on to see how, why and what other updates you can make to the most popular room in your home.


5 Ways to Refresh Your Kitchen Cabinets If You Hate How They Look

Real Simple

You’ve no doubt heard that the ‘easiest’ way to update your kitchen without a full remodel is to paint your cabinets. And that is a great option! But you can also swap out hardware, replace the doors, swap out select areas with open shelving and even utilize peel and stick wallpaper for a fresh look.

Realtor.com

HGTV has been the major source (if not primary driving force) of home design trends over the last decade. The hosts of the acclaimed Property Brothers series recently shared some ideas that go beyond the basics. Try balancing a brave and bold countertop with neutral cabinets, adding texture with a Roman clay vent hood (think a sueded feel with a textured paint finish similar to Venetian plaster) or using a mural as a grounding statement piece.

We highly recommend you click on this article in full to see these ideas come to life. Themes such as quiet luxury (moody spaces with metallic shine and understated neutrals), out-of-the-box storage (kitchens with ‘furniture’ and bistro shelves vs. standard perimeter cabinetry) and even the resurgence of (gasp!) tile are all the rage.


We know that some of our most favorite foods and absolute best memories are made in the kitchen. As the center of your sanctuary, we hope that some of the ideas above provide inspiration and contemplation from what you want in this space and how you want to make it happen.
