Lavish kitchen trends are heating up in 2024 by combining innovative design with modern functionality. 

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a home, it is the heart of everyday living and has great influence over prospective buyers. Therefore, homeowners must invest time and money into making their kitchens an aesthetically pleasing and practical space for the whole family. 

The sink was created in collaboration with designer Tod Babick, and is available in Golden Bronze and Desert Cream Limestone. This product pays homage to the rich heritage of Japanese pottery, while including elements of modern design. “The irregular, imperfect form and surfaces of the piece, as well as the variations within the patina, are in alignment with the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of wabi-sabi,” says Babick.

While there has been a shift towards minimalist design in kitchens, Häcker – a German-based, modern kitchen manufacturer wishes to enhance the “aesthetic of reduction” through select avant-garde accents.

Eurocucina is a major kitchen trade show that is held annually in Milan. This year, Häcker Kitchens will present the “Polygon,” an island solution made of natural stone with an extravagant pentagonal front. The unique shape creates a distinctive and prominent spatial effect. While adding visual interest to a room, avant-garde pieces are also the perfect way for a homeowner to personalize their kitchens.

According to Houzz Magazine, 28-percent of kitchen renovations are to customize a recently purchased home. Homeowners wish to add their own personalized flair to their homes and that is often reflected in the kitchen. Häcker recognizes the importance of individuality and flexibility in interior design. The company offers over 2,000 NCS and 190 RAL colors, which gives homeowners a broad palette and the option to create almost any color scheme.

While the luxury realm has seen many new design trends this year, there has also been an increased focus on creating a kitchen that is functional. According to a study conducted by Houzz Magazine, 2024 saw an increase in homeowners upgrading to high-tech appliances. With nearly one-third of homeowners opting for Wi-Fi-connected appliances, these high-tech installations are the future. 

Brands such as BLAUPUNKT, a built-in kitchen appliance manufacturer, fulfill the demand for high-tech, luxury appliances. It offers stove tops with combi-induction, permanent pot recognition, and automatic activation of controls. Moreover, the sinks and taps focus on durability and functionality with features such as scratch, color, and heat resistance. BLAUPUNKT not only provides homeowners with the latest kitchen tech but also with stylish and sophisticated appliances that will fit in any luxury kitchen.
