8 . MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ISLANDS
From extending out into a dining table to bespoke chopping areas and definitive breakfast bar zones , kitchen islands will be more versatile than ever in 2024 , and emulate the gastronomical experience found in a luxury restaurant at home . The working triangle is no longer a necessity in kitchen design , and kitchen islands can efficiently incorporate areas for preparation , cooking , washing up and dining . With almost 1.3 million # kitchenisland posts on Instagram , this key kitchen trend is here to stay .
9 . EARTHY COLOURS
Laminam I Naturali Series – Invisible White
Earthy hues including anthracite , deep browns and nature inspired greens are set to be on-trend in 2024 , as we move away from lighter kitchens in favour of rich , dark designs with plenty of visual depth . This trend will extend to all elements of the kitchen , including surfaces , cabinetry , wall colours and flooring .
10 . CHUNKY SURFACES
Deliberately thick surfaces are perfect for creating bold impact on a central island or kitchen worktop . With the usual thickness for a countertop being 12mm , 2024 will see more instances of a 20mm thickness being used ; particularly striking when used on a waterfall island .
11 . SOFT FINISHES
2024 will see a move towards matt or soft finishes , rather than shiny or gloss . State of the art
