8 Kitchen Design Styles That Are No Longer Cool, Designers Say
28.07.2024 - 11:42 / thespruce.com / Megan McCarty
Think of kitchen design styles like fashion. Some trends come and go (jean silhouettes, the height of socks), while other elements (say, a white button-down shirt) will be timeless generation after generation.
The biggest difference between home design and your wardrobe? Renovating a kitchen once you’re tired of a style isn’t as easy or affordable as trying a new outfit.
So, it’s best to get ahead of the trends. That’s why we tapped two interior designers for their takes on kitchen design styles that are out—take notes.
Kitchens seeped in Old World influence could be seen everywhere in the 90s and early 2000s—but those times are long over.
“Tuscan-inspired kitchens, with their dark wood cabinets and rich, earthy tones, feel like overly ornate dungeons at this point,” interior designer Amy Peltier says.
Now, people tend to crave cleaner lines and a more minimalist approach, one that brings a sense of calm and openness to the kitchen. It's all about creating a serene space that feels welcoming, according to Peltier.

Although Wolf tries to avoid can lighting whenever possible, they’re often necessary in a kitchen—just don’t go overboard.
“Too many can lights in the kitchen can make for a Swiss-cheese ceiling,” interior designer Katie Tells us.
To prevent a holey ceiling, Wolf recommends opting for four-inch cans (instead of six-inch) and placing them only where necessary. When coupled with under-cabinet lighting and pendants over an island, you might be surprised how few cans are needed.
“After all, a kitchen needs to be functional, but we aren’t interrogating our vegetables!” says Wolf.
