Innovative Designs for Kitchen Cabinets in 2024
May 31, 2024
Natural Materials
Natural materials, such as wood and clay, have been in style for some time now, and for good reason. These materials evoke warmth and peace by bringing the outdoors in, and they are usually eco-friendly. Earthy materials also often have natural variations that allow for uniqueness, even amongst spaces that use the exact same materials in their kitchens. They come in many different colors, finishes, grains, and textures, so they can be used to elevate any aesthetic. IKONNI carries wood panels, such as the Milled Panels and Flexible Panels collections, as well as clay panels that are perfect for use in the kitchen.
Mixed Materials
Mixing materials has come more into fashion lately and can be used to create an effect that is truly unique. The ability to mix materials effectively is a more specialized skill that requires a deep understanding of design and how to balance color and texture. With mixed materials, you can give a nod to different styles or time periods while creating a cohesive look that’s a single aesthetic all on its own.
For kitchen cabinets specifically, there are several ways you can mix materials. You can design different upper cabinets from lower cabinets, you can use different finishes for hardware, or you can have cabinets of an island or another area of the kitchen in a different material from the main cabinet area. Using a specific design plan, mixing materials in the kitchen can elevate the room to something that looks designed rather than merely a utilitarian space.Return to Color
Though whites and grays will always be timeless, color is becoming more popular for kitchen cabinets in 2024. Green and blue, in particular, are being embraced in designed spaces, and even yellow and red are being featured in a movement to embrace retro styles with a contemporary twist. Many different materials can be stained or painted in these colors and can be mixed with more natural hues to retain a warm and contemporary feel. IKONNI offers several wood, clay, stone, and metal paneling options that are naturally different hues or that can be customized in a variety of colors to suit the particular look you would like to create.
