2024 Kitchen & Bath Trends

The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) 2024 Trend Outlook Report coincided with the annual KBIS held in Las Vegas in February. The report highlighted trends for the home, particularly the bathroom and kitchen. Many featured products were displayed by manufacturers at KBIS. From modern design to smart and sustainable products, there is something for every home in the 2024 kitchen and bath roundup.

The ASID Trend report featured some highlights that showcased key shifts and indicators affecting the kitchen and bath industry. Modern, contemporary design styles continue to be strong in bathrooms. In 2024, look for these features to move toward the kitchen, the room in the home that is the most used. Spa-inspired amenities will continue to create a sense of serenity and luxury in bathrooms. This will be seen in features such as steam showers with rain heads, showers with curb-less entry and more stone, quartz, and marble materials.

Post-pandemic, homeowners still seek clean-ability and durability. In bathrooms, many are opting for quartz sink, vanities and large slabs or solid surface panels as a grout-less option, particularly in showers. Consumers are also looking for matte and brushed [metal] finishes, enhanced with “Spot Defense” for fewer watermarks. Pragmatic, utility spaces offer unique design opportunities. “Less can be more” with mudrooms being combined with laundry rooms, optimizing space.

Lifestyle is Key

Quartz sinks continue to grow and gain in popularity within the kitchen sink market as an alternative to stainless steel due to its durability and range of bold colors. Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, the industry’s largest supplier of cleaner water solutions for drinking water, hygiene and sustainable water management, launched in March new quartz collections. These timeless sinks work with a variety of modern faucets. Lifestyle and fashion are not mutually exclusive as shown by the Peerless Ezra Slide Bar with Hand Shower system. Peerless has also rolled out an expansion of its Precept Bathroom Collection with ADA products that prioritize accessible living while keeping aesthetics front and center.
