Our experts reveal the top Minnesota kitchen remodeling trends in 2024.
The kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where to make a typical family dinner or a special holiday meal. It’s where you celebrate birthdays, parties, and other special events.
Because of the amount of time you spend in your kitchen, you want to ensure it both looks good and is functional to make cooking and entertaining easier. If you have an outdated kitchen, or if you need more space or more storage, it’s important to remodel it to fit your needs.
Kitchen trends are always changing. Check out some of the top kitchen renovation trends in 2024 that Prior Lake homes are using.
After years of focusing on keeping color out of kitchens, homeowners and designers are opting for some neutral colors this year. According to BHG.com this year earth tones and neutral colors are trending in kitchen designs. Some popular tones are terracotta and sage green.
While many homeowners love the look and feel of a clean, all-white kitchen, this year’s trend has many adding some natural wood to their kitchen designs. According to BHG.com, new designs are adding wood to cabinets, flooring, and beams to add accents and natural looks.
One of the biggest requests we get from homeowners during kitchen remodeling projects is to add more storage. Households are constantly running out of storage space for their pots, pans, dishes, small kitchen appliances, blenders, coffee accessories, and not to mention food and spices.
Because of this, one of the top kitchen remodeling trends, according to Southern Living, is to add more types of storage. The website lists creative storage spaces like pull-out spice drawers, butler’s pantries, lower drawer storage, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets.
Homeowners are spending more time than ever at home, with many working from home full or part-time. This means instead of grabbing coffee or a smoothie on the way to the office, they are now making the beverage at home. This is convenient, but those appliances require a lot of space.
One of the latest design trends is to build space to add these large espresso machines, or even a cool new bar space for entertaining, according to Veranda.com.
Traditionally, when designing kitchens, homeowners have opted for very balanced looks. These include the same types and number of cabinets on the sides of the stove, sink, or other focal point. They carefully laid out the island to keep everything balanced. Now, this is changing. According to Southern Living, new designs in 2024 feature unbalanced designs. Homeowners are changing up the layout of their cabinets, and are using patterns and colors to change the focus of the room.
Veranda.com reveals that one of the newest trends this year in kitchen renovations is to use a variety of materials. New designs use porcelain and stone for countertops, and stone and metal in cabinet designs. More homeowners are also opting for sustainable materials when building their kitchen cabinets and other fixtures.
