The National Kitchen & Bath Association conducted its annual Design Trends research in two waves for 2024 – Kitchen Trends and Bath Trends. This Kitchen Trends report provides a comprehensive look into key aspects of kitchen design with the goal of revealing anticipated trends for the next three years in styles, colors, products, materials and finishes. Our findings are based on feedback from 630 industry professionals across North America – three-quarters of whom are NKBA members. Fifty-two percent were designers and the remainder were showroom professionals, dealers, K+B remodelers, contractors and architects.
The most important goal when selecting specific kitchen colors is to create a sense of nature, calm and harmony.
