Kitchens are often the “hearth of the home” because they're actively used every day and are often the main gathering and socializing spot for family members and friends.
It’s no surprise that homeowners have “dream kitchens” that fulfill their every aesthetic and functional desire or believe that investing in kitchen alterations will significantly up a home’s resale value. But, as with any other space over time, kitchen design trends come and go—or shift.
If you’re planning a kitchen makeover, consider these cabinetry trends that architects, designers, and remodelers are predicting will be popular in 2024.

Some designers and architects foresee new takes intransitional design with regards to cabinetry and hardware.
“We are seeing a surge in the ‘skinny shaker’ cabinet style which updates the classic cabinet with a much thinner frame typically around a half an inch wide,'” Karen Frome, founder of Rise Projects, says.
Frome explains how this kind of update will refresh and modernize any shaker look while also helping it maintain the warm, homey feeling of the more traditional rendition.
«The skinny shaker style will make for a fresh take on a timeless kitchen,» Frome says.
Laura Brophy, founder of Laura Brophy Interiors, says that there has been a growing appreciation for the charm and warmth of past eras in modern kitchen design.

And it makes sense why they're so beloved—they’re easy to store, you can reuse them, you can buy a ton of them at once, and you can use them for everything, from storing soups in the freezer to packing carrots into a kids’ lunch box and creating a DIY piping bag.

Since entering horticulture professionally over a decade ago, I’ve noticed a correlation on the Colorado Front Range between wood mulch (also called arborist chips) and water-wise gardens. A beautifully designed garden goes in, with appropriate irrigation and plant palette, and the garden looks great—briefly—before languishing.

Riegers range from reds, pinks, and bright yellows to shades of orange and stark white. What’s more, under the right conditions, they can bloom indoors for several weeks and they’re fairly easy to propagate, too.
