At P J Cook Building, we recognise the importance of innovative and versatile kitchen designs in our New Home and Granny Flat projects that adapt to our clients’ multifaceted lives . In collaboration with Envision Kitchens, led by Managing Director Rhys Armstrong, we explore the latest kitchen design trends, shaping Australian kitchens into spaces of ease, style, and functionality.

The Evolution of Kitchen Design in 2024:

Kitchens in Australia are transforming to meet the demands of modern homeowners who seek spaces that are not just about cooking but also about living, dining, and connecting. Envision Kitchens’ expertise in creating bespoke kitchen renovations on the Central Coast, and Newcastle has given us unique insights into the trends expected to define kitchen design in 2024.

10 Australian Aesthetic Kitchen Design Trends in 2024:

  1. Bold Cabinet Colours: Moving away from traditional whites, 2024 sees various captivating cabinet colours. These trends signal a move towards personalised kitchen spaces, from soft beige for a modern feel to bold black and green shades for dramatic flair. Rhys notes an increasing preference for earthy tones that evoke tranquillity and nature.
  2. Marble Veined Backsplash: Luxury returns with marble veined backsplashes, offering timeless elegance. Envision Kitchens suggests considering textured tiles for added warmth and depth, moving away from flat, plain surfaces.
  3. Multipurpose Kitchen Islands: Islands remain a focal point, serving multiple purposes, from meal prep to socialising spots. The trend towards islands with integrated seating and storage solutions emphasises their role in enhancing kitchen functionality and design.
  4. Floating Shelves: 2024 welcomes the chicness of floating shelves, offering a lighter alternative to traditional cabinetry. Rhys Armstrong highlights the trend towards using natural materials like wood and marble to add a touch of sophistication.
  5. Organic Shape Tiles: There’s a shift towards tiles with organic shapes, with zellige tiles leading the way. This trend adds softness to the kitchen’s geometry, creating a more inviting space.
  6. Concealed Appliances: In 2024, concealed appliances, integrated seamlessly into cabinetry, will amplify kitchens’ elegance and contribute to a clutter-free environment.
  7. Exhaust Hood Designs: Stylish exhaust hoods become statement pieces, moving beyond functionality to serve as a key design element.
  8. Unified Wood Flooring: Extending wood flooring into the kitchen creates a seamless flow throughout the home, with modern materials offering both beauty and durability.
  9. Metallic Accents: Metallic finishes add a layer of glamour, with a mix of polished brass and nickel offering versatility and sparkle to kitchen designs.
  10. Personal Touches: Open shelving allows homeowners to display personal items, infusing the kitchen with individual personality and charm.

Innovation and Functionality in Kitchen Trends:

Beyond aesthetics, 2024 kitchen designs focus on innovation and functionality. Smart technology integration, sustainable material use, and wellness-oriented designs are at the forefront. Envision Kitchens’ Rhys Armstrong shares that the integration of smart appliances and the emphasis on sustainable, eco-friendly materials are becoming increasingly important to homeowners.
