winning wood tone
Okay, listen. You might want to give your wooden cabinets a coat of white paint, or try out that pretty shade of green you've been seeing lately. That's understandable! For years, everyone has been saying that brown wood cabinets are too boring and feel outdated. But this year, trend reports are flooding into our inboxes that suggest stained wood cabinets may be making a comeback. We're going to agree! For example, take a look at this stylish setup in Bambi's Costanzo's West Virginia cottage. I love how the wood adds much-needed warmth to the all-white kitchen. Designers are aware of this, as clients seek to work with existing cabinetry or ask for wood outright. “I can't wait to use dark wood stains and walnut finishes on cabinets, beams, and other accents around the kitchen,” says Texas-based designer Shelby Van Daley.

San Francisco Bay Area-based designer Ashley Makuga is seeing more and more clients asking for decorated pantries. “They want to customize every detail of their cabinets, and our designers work with professional organizers to create expertly crafted cabinets that maximize functionality while ensuring seamless integration with the overall aesthetic of the kitchen.

decorative vents
Decorative cabinet vents (also known as punch-outs) have long been popular in British kitchens, but they haven't yet made a big splash in the United States. “I started using Punch Out several years ago because it adds charm, whimsy, and personality to ordinary wood panels,” says designer Katie Rosenfeld. She loves the bespoke feel it brings to a kitchen, but always considers scale before drilling holes to ensure they have maximum decorative effect without compromising the overall design of the kitchen. I'm warning you that there is.

All drawers, no doors
Yes, that's right. Designer Max Humphrey has declared 2024 the year we say goodbye to cabinet doors. There's a very compelling reason for that. “Kitchen drawers are much more useful than traditional cabinets with doors,” says Max. “You can easily split the drawers so you don't have to dig all the way to the back of the cabinet for things.” If you're worried about things slipping around too much, we recommend lining the drawers with cork to keep things stable. . Additionally, it protects the wood from unintentional damage.
cafe core
Pinterest also predicted a rise in dedicated coffee spots. Pinterest says that “coffee stations at home will be the new way to drink your own espresso this year,” as search volume for search terms like “coffee bar styling” has skyrocketed by his 1,125%. Masu. We hope the purpose-built coffee setup heralds the return of the popular appliance garage.
