5 . EXPOSED SHELVING AND FREESTANDING STORAGE
Storage for the kitchens of 2024 will be less formal and fitted and more casual and relaxed , with open , transparent , or freestanding shelving to display everyday items and treasured pieces . Over the past 12 months ( as of Sept , 2023 ), “ Shelving Unit ” has become a breakout search topic , as has “ Pantry ” over the past 90 days , according to Google Trends data . To avoid a cluttered look in a multi-functional kitchen , easy storage is more imperative than ever , and could be just a simple single open ‘ floating ’ shelf , shelves incorporated into an island , or a large , bespoke dresser with premium surfacing to elevate it further .
