Restore Functionality and Style to Your Kitchen

You might not even notice it, but you may spend more time in the kitchen than in any other room in your home. You prepare and eat your three meals there throughout the day. It could be one of the first places you head to after getting out of bed in the morning and the last place you visit before retiring at night.

“If you’re spending that much time in your kitchen, it might as well enhance your lifestyle,” said Christi Pryor, Marketing Manager with Callen.

“The 2024 kitchen styles do just that — help you prioritize your daily home life.”If you’re looking to remodel your kitchen or just give it a refresh, consider these popular features.

Savvy Storage Solutions

2024 kitchens have taken a page out of Europe’s book by making the most of the space. Examples of this include appliances that are hidden by cabinetry, cooktops that are integrated into the countertop, and floating cabinets and hutches which can make your kitchen look bigger.

“Emphasized in newer kitchens is refrigerator space, making fridge drawers and beverage fridges a much-needed asset,” Christi said.

Refrigerator drawers are nestled among a kitchen’s lower cabinetry for easy access to items. Other kitchens have beverage fridges — under the counter minifridges stocked with everything from soft drinks and beer to wine and juice. “This dedicated drink appliance is often placed away from the main kitchen and closer to a seating or living area,” she said.

Climatic Colors

“Gone are the ever-so-trendy all-white kitchens,” said Christi. “Environmentalism is now in, and today’s kitchens feature earthy tones.” This includes everything from neutral colors like terracotta and creamy whites, to more stark hues like deep blues and dark forest greens.Behind green, which is the most popular color for cabinets and countertops, wood is the second most popular style. “Wood adds massive warmth to a space, and a wood-look to the cabinetry or flooring is also trendy this year,” Christi said.

Knockout Pieces

While color and storage are big-ticket items, sometimes it’s the little things that count. Take the hardware in your kitchen, like the handles for drawers and cabinets. “Add some personality to your space by mixing traditional and eclectic hardware, or add a mix of gold, silver, and brass pieces,” said Christi.

In addition, seen in more modern kitchens are showstopping backsplashes paired with floating shelves. “These backsplashes display bold patterns and colors in amazing designs, perfect for making a statement,” she said.

“Callen understands the importance of making your kitchen a space that betters your lifestyle,” Christi said.
