By / custom cabinets, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on 4 Custom Kitchen Remodeling Ideas for 2024

Trends come and go. Inspired Remodels keeps an eagle eye on kitchen remodeling trends so every kitchen they design and build is perfect for its time. Here are four custom kitchen remodeling ideas you need to incorporate for an updated 2024 kitchen.

The rarely noticed range hood works hard to vent odors and grease from the cooking area. It’s a dirty job, but as Mike Rowe says, “somebody’s got to do it.” In the past, range hoods suffered neglect from designers. Those days are gone!

In 2024, these hoods will leave their shrinking violet heritage behind and make a bold statement.

Incorporate a statement range hood in your custom kitchen remodel and you’ll find it is a game changer.

 

Warmer Tones

Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2024, Peach Fuzz, sets the stage for warmer tones throughout the house. So, it’s no wonder that custom kitchen remodels incorporate warmer and moodier colors.

Warm green hues add a cozy vibe to a white & gray kitchen

Stark white-on-white kitchens aren’t the cream of the crop in 2024. While many stunning white kitchens come into being in 2024, the real winners will be those that opt for warm tones.

Think terracotta accents if you can’t wrap your head around peach.

Earthy tones bring coziness to large spaces

Opt for comforting tones for a cost and trendy kitchen. Luckily, these warm tones play well with mosaic tiles and a variety of cabinet and countertop colors.

Statement Backsplashes

Backsplashes traditionally put function over form. They prevent water, food, and grease from staining and sticking to kitchen walls.

Yeah, but one super-hot custom kitchen remodeling trend for 2024 lets the backsplash become fashion-forward.

Inspired Remodels led the way in 2023, incorporating statement backsplashes into their kitchen remodeling projects.

Now the backsplash provides an important design element in the kitchen remodel. Watch out bathrooms – you may be next.

Colors, textures, and designs all play a part in creating a beautiful statement backsplash.  This trend also supports the final trend for 2024 – death of perfectly matched design elements.

Eclectic Elements

If you feel a need for every element of your kitchen to be a perfect match, 2024 might be a bad year for you. 

One of the hottest upcoming kitchen remodeling ideas for Orange County kitchens is a mix-and-match approach to everything from lighting to hardware.

Mixed metals add an eclectic touch

Even upper and lower cabinets stray from an everything must match aesthetic.

Mix up cabinet hardware. Install pulls here and knobs there. Heck, toss a few handles in for good measure.

Why must all walls be the same color?

Nothing customizes a kitchen like adding your own eclectic elements and when you do so in 2024, you’ll be riding a rising wave.

Kitchen remodels are a popular update in Orange County. That’s why homeowners looking to update their living spaces and increase their home’s value look to the kitchen. With so many new materials and technologies, it’s a great time for a kitchen remodel. Here are 8 trends you might want to add to your kitchen update.

kitchen remodel adds bamboo lighting and other ecofriendly materials

Eco-Friendly Materials

To begin with, start with sustainability. Unquestionably, this trend is hot in home design.  Naturally, it extends to kitchen remodels. Homeowners love eco-friendly materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, and recycled glass to reduce their carbon footprint. Eco-friendly materials offer unique, natural looks that add character to your kitchen.

Smart Technology

With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart technology is at home in homes across California. Smart kitchen technology includes everything from appliances with Wi-Fi to voice-activated assistants that manage your grocery list or preheat your oven. Subsequently, kitchen makeovers make the most of current smart technology.

kitchen remodel incorporates open concept for kitchen and dining areas

Open-Concept Layouts

Orange County homeowners love open-concept homes. Open-concept kitchens promote a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. They create a more spacious and airier atmosphere.  A kitchen remodel that uses this layout creates the perfect environment for entertaining guests and quality family time. To achieve this look, remove walls or install large windows to connect the spaces and bring in natural light.

Minimalist Design

The minimalism trend has been around for a while. Surely this trend appears here to stay. For kitchen remodels, use clean lines, simple color palettes, and streamlined storage. Open shelving looks great and makes it easier to access dishes and cookware.

Colorful Cabinets

Many homeowners opt for colorful cabinets to add personality to their kitchens. Without question, these bright and bold cabinet colors break up neutral color schemes and add visual interest. Plus, they are fun!

Natural Stone Countertops

Natural stone countertops like marble and granite continue to be popular. Certainly, these materials offer a timeless, elegant look that adds value to any kitchen. However, don’t overlook new options like engineered quartz. Given that this material offers greater durability than natural stone and requires less maintenance – it’s bound to quickly become a favorite.

Custom Storage

Custom storage solutions made possible by custom cabinetry are a must-have for any kitchen remodel. So, add everything from pull-out pantry shelves to built-in spice racks to boost storage. Obviously, using custom solutions make the most of your kitchen space, no matter how much space you have!

Luxury Finishes

Finally, many homeowners are opting for luxury finishes in their kitchen remodels. High-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and designer light fixtures create beautiful kitchens. These finishes elevate your kitchen and create a truly luxurious space that you’ll love.
