Peering Into the 2024 Crystal Ball

Jacob Evans • January 15, 2024

Earth tones continue to trend upward not only in kitchen design but also in interior design. The 1st Dibbs 2024 Designer Trends Survey found that the largest percentage of the design community named light green/sage as their favorite color for 2024. Earthy color palettes that create a cozy inviting atmosphere also are trending in kitchen design for homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA. Sage green, light browns, tans, and other earth tones enable homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA to bring the outside indoors. 

Our showroom designers continue to advise homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA how they can create a dream kitchen that not only looks out of this world and functions impeccably, but also serves as a center for healthy living. This can be accomplished by leveraging smart appliances that inventory the contents of refrigerators, offer menu suggestions based on contents, and prioritize ingredients that are about to spoil to design features such as refrigerated columns and drawers that provide more flexibility. Steam ovens and air fryers also can contribute to healthier lifestyles.   

The primary function of a kitchen never changes. Improving the kitchen’s functionality is a compelling reason to rely on a professional designer. Homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA can obtain the functionality they expect and deserve in a new dream kitchen by paying particular attention to storage and organizational amenities that keep counters clean and provide a place for everything. The number one regret of homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA after they have completed a kitchen renovation is not investing enough in kitchen storage and organization solutions. 

Lighting also plays a key role in enhancing kitchen functionality. In-drawer, under-cabinet, behind cabinet lighting solutions combined with strategically placed task, accent and ambient lighting enhance the look, feel and functionality of a kitchen. 

We are also seeing homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA gravitating away from a predominately white pallet in favor of wood tones that add warmth and texture. The NKBA survey found that wood is the second most popular color among kitchen designers nationwide.
