New year, new trends.
While kitchen trends don't change as often as in industries like textiles, innovation in kitchens never rests.
Alveus experts develop innovations every year that follow trends and create them.
Kitchen design trends bring diversity, innovation, and plenty of opportunities for expressing personal style, whether you're a fan of minimalism, luxury, natural vibes, or eco-friendly solutions.
We've gathered eight key trends for 2024 to help you if you're considering a kitchen renovation or creating a brand-new home.
These guidelines will help you create a kitchen that reflects your personality and makes you feel great.
1. BLACK REMAINS IN ALL ITS GLORY
Black symbolizes elegance and luxury in the kitchen bringing a unique atmosphere to your home.
However, an all-black kitchen is only suitable for some spaces.
It's recommended for large rooms with ample natural light, such as large windows.
If you love black but your kitchen lacks natural light or you're concerned about it being too dark, consider a black sink with a black faucet and accessories.
A black sink and tap can be the jewels of a black kitchen.
They'll stand out even more when combined with lighter elements, creating an impressive contrast and highlighting the focal point of the kitchen.
Don't worry about practicality; black sinks are as easy to maintain as lighter ones.
Regular wiping with a soft cloth will prevent the buildup of water stains.
The advantage of black is that it hides stains and scratches better.
Since black sinks and faucets are so popular, we've prepared the ALVEUS BLACK EDITION exclusively for you, offering black Granital sinks, kitchen faucets, and accessories.
2. SMART KITCHENS
Technological progress doesn't stop in kitchens.
Smart kitchens feature advanced kitchen appliances connected to a network.
This includes smart refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and more. These appliances allow remote control and management via smartphones.
For example, on your way home, you can turn on the oven or check if you forgot to turn off the stove.
Smart kitchens also include smart lighting and smart storage systems that can track the contents of your fridge and pantry. These innovations will make cooking more efficient and comfortable.
3. GOLD AND BRONZE LUXURY
Gold and bronze colors are no longer reserved for jewelry and prestigious decorations.
They have become trends in kitchen interior design and are no longer exceptions.
These luxurious and shiny shades can be used in various ways to add sophistication and elegance to your kitchen space.
The easiest way to incorporate gold and bronze is through your sink and tap.
With the Alveus Monarch line, your sink and tap will become central elements in your kitchen, more than just functional items – they'll be design pieces of furniture.
Alveus Monarch sinks are not only aesthetic masterpieces but also extremely high-quality and functional.
The metallic shine is the result of perfectly smooth stainless steel, which is hygienic and easy to maintain (wipe with a microfiber cloth).
Additionally, a special ceramic nitride coating makes it highly scratch-resistant.
These sinks pair beautifully with various color combinations and kitchen styles, from classic to modern and minimalist.
Another unique feature of Alveus Monarch sinks is the option for color combinations with the Mix It Up system, allowing you to achieve a completely individual and unique look.
For example, the sink can be in one color, while the drain and overflow are in another color.
4. KITCHEN ISLAND - THE CENTER OF GATHERING
The kitchen island is becoming an essential element in modern kitchens, but it's evolving into more functional and adaptable forms.
Raised portions with bar stools allow for socializing while preparing meals, increasing the social aspect of the kitchen.
Family members or guests can sit and chat while you cook.
It's also a space where children can do homework or engage in activities with parental supervision.
5. NATURAL TOUCH
In our busy lives, we seek a connection with nature, even in the interior of our homes.
Therefore 2024, a natural touch in the kitchen will be a prominent trend.
Wood remains a key element in modern kitchens, and adding plants and natural decor like stones, shells, and containers made from natural materials enhances the natural vibe.
Earthy tones inspired by nature, such as brown, beige, anthracite, reddish clay, and stone, will dominate the color palette.
If you love nature and want to incorporate an organic touch into your kitchen, a Granital sink is a fantastic addition.
Alveus's Granital is a blend of two materials. It represents one of the most durable materials on the market, even surpassing natural granite, which is the second hardest substance on Earth after diamonds.
This blend gives Alveus sinks incredible strength while maintaining flexibility and resistance to high temperatures.
In 2024, there will be more Alveus innovations in Granital material.
The first will be the OMNI family of sinks, known for their elegant and trendy appearance, available in four natural tones. You can also find Alveus's existing Granital sink families here.
6. OPEN SHELVES AND DISPLAY CABINETS
Open shelves and glass cabinets have become a popular choice in modern kitchens.
Instead of traditional closed cabinets, these available solutions allow you to express your creativity and style uniquely.
You can showcase your favorite dishes, cups, and glasses as part of your kitchen decor, creating a visually appealing space.
Open shelves also create a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in the kitchen, making it friendlier and more inviting.
Additionally, they provide easy access to kitchen equipment and tools, making cooking and organization easier.
7. STAINLESS STEEL - THE TIMELESS CLASSIC IN THE KITCHEN
Stainless steel, often referred to as "rostfrei" or inox, is one of the most popular materials in the kitchen.
It's a material that never goes out of style.
Every year, Alveus experts prepare stainless steel innovations that align with functionality and design trends.
Alveus uses only high-quality steel, ensuring the long lifespan of their sinks. It's easy to clean and resistant to impact, chemical influences, and high temperatures.
This year, Alveus's development team has introduced a new stainless steel sink family that stands out for its exceptional and modern design – the LUXAL family made of stainless steel.
8. ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the world.
Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient appliances are part of the ecological trend in kitchen design.
Alveus strongly emphasizes environmentally responsible practices at all levels, from development to waste management and low-energy production.
They return purified, uncontaminated water to nature, and their products are of high quality and have a lengthy lifespan.
Some materials (like inox) are even 100% biodegradable. Alveus products are sent to customers in environmentally friendly packaging – replacing styrofoam with cardboard.
