The kitchen is the heart of the home and kitchen renovation is important. This is not just where you cook dinner, it’s also where people gather and have fun. A kitchen remodel that appeals to your preferences and adds value to your home is a difficult balance to strike.

If you’re planning an entire overhaul of your kitchen this year or just looking for a few update ideas, you’ll want to know what’s popular this year. Our team of Potomac Kitchen and Bath designers share the stunning top kitchen renovation trends we’re seeing in 2024 related to style, materials and finishes.

Before you can start choosing materials to contribute to the design you would like to achieve, you need to determine what style you’re looking for. In 2024, the most popular kitchen renovation style is contemporary.

Contemporary Kitchen Styling with Clean Lines

Contemporary design is a minimal and simple approach that should not sometimes be confused with the cooler, modern style and contemporary design focuses on tile work and geometric designs. With its clean lines, it creates a very warm and serene environment.

A Focus on Storage and Organization

Since we’re looking to keep the design contemporary and de-cluttered, having optimal kitchen storage space and maximizing on kitchen functionality with organization is necessary.

We’ve had to redesign our homes because many of us are staying home more than ever before, and we’re also cooking from home more too which means more food, more appliances and the need for more space. Many of our clients want to optimize their storage space and keep it organized. A huge 2021 kitchen renovation trend is to focus on seamlessly incorporating as much storage into a design as possible.

Kitchen Storage

Optimizing storage space transforms kitchens into an inviting, contemporary living space that feels clean and tidy. More cabinet space for all types of appliances like an air-fryer or slow cooker is something we all want a little more of in our kitchen renovations.

What Types of Materials Are Being Chosen?

Choosing the right materials for your design look can be overwhelming and difficult, especially when you want to get the most for your budget. Our designers are here to help you envision the perfect kitchen by choosing the right materials.

Warm Wood Tones

Contemporary doesn’t have to mean “cold. Wood cabinetry offers a great way to warm up any contemporary space, especially a kitchen. However, gone are the yellow maple tones and red cherry tones that were so popular for so long.

Need help choosing wood tones? Potomac Kitchen and Bath designers will help you determine the best color palette and countertop style to complement the gorgeous grain and hues of the warm wood.

Quartz Countertops

Quartz countertops are still hot this year, and we can understand why and quartz is harder and more durable than granite.

We’re sure you’ve heard the pros and cons of quartz versus granite, but this year’s overarching opinion is that quartz is more popular because it’s low maintenance, versatile and timeless.

Which Veneers Are Better?

Now that you have determined what style and materials you plan to use by working with our RSI kitchen design teams, it’s time to put the finishing touches on your 2024 dream kitchen renovation.

The bold trends in finishes we are seeing this year complement the popular rising contemporary style. It’s the final touches that really pull the design together and create a warm, inviting room.

Black Stainless Steel Appliances

Black stainless offers a new spin on the stainless steel appliance trend, black stainless steel appliances are easier to clean and have better fingerprint resistance than traditional stainless. It’s also a warmer alternative to stainless steel appliances, which have a slightly more industrial feel.

While most black appliances typically absorb light, black stainless appliances reflect light into the space to add to the positive energy of a contemporary kitchen redesign. 2024 kitchens seem to be ready for this bold design.
