Trends are cyclical, and while there’s a chance linoleum flooring may come back in style, if you intend to undertake a full-on kitchen remodel, the last thing you want to do is pick a trend that’s outdated or overdone. After all, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and whatever design choices you make can set the tone for the rest of your home’s design.
To help ensure your kitchen design choices withstand the tests of time, we reached out to kitchen and design experts to weigh in on kitchen trends to avoid in 2024 and alternatives you can use instead. Whether you’re hoping to remodel your home in Minneapolis, MN or you’re just gathering ideas while living in an apartment, you’re sure to find some easy ways to level up your kitchen design.
1. Modern farmhouse design
If you like to find design ideas on social media, there’s no doubt you’ve seen the modern farmhouse design. Although it was all the rage a few years ago, Allisa Jacobs from Allisa Jacobs Home Styling warns homeowners about incorporating this trend into their home.
“This trend, complete with farmhouse sinks, barn lights, and rustic details, exploded onto the scene almost ten years ago yet now feels too trendy and overdone. Instead, opt for timeless accessories and hardware. And, if you have a hard time letting go of the modern farmhouse approach, just choose one element to incorporate such as black cabinet hardware or butcher block countertops.”
2. Gas stove tops
Certified Kitchen Designers Joy Wilkins, Chrysan Liedholm, and Maurice Velez from Custom Kitchens by John Wilkins Inc. all agree, traditional gas stove tops are on their way out. “Gas cooktops and ranges, once very desirable, are slowly being phased out of many residential kitchens. Heat transfer inefficiency, indoor air quality concerns, and natural gas use regulations/limitations are leading more consumers to induction cooktops. They’re affordable, easy to clean, and offer higher heat transfer.”
3. Over-the-range microwaves
“Over the past decade, almost every new construction kitchen had a microwave over the stovetop range. Not now.” says Erica Reilly from Miller Flooring. She continues, “New appliances have changed the game, allowing microwaves and other appliances to be hidden in the island or behind cabinet panels.”
