New year, new trends.
While kitchen trends don't change as often as they do in industries like textiles, kitchen innovation never rests on its laurels.
Every year, Alveus experts develop innovations that follow and create trends.
Kitchen design trends provide variety, innovation, and plenty of opportunities to express your personal style, whether you're a fan of minimalism, luxury, natural vibes, or eco-friendly solutions.
We've put together eight key trends for 2024 to help you if you're considering renovating your kitchen or creating an entirely new home.
These tips 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 certain rooms.
It is recommended for large rooms with plenty of natural light, such as large windows.
If you love black but your kitchen lacks natural light or you're concerned that it will be too dark, consider a black sink with a black faucet and accessories.
A black sink and faucet can be the jewels of a black kitchen.
Combined with lighter pieces, they will stand out even more, creating an impressive contrast and highlighting the focal point of the kitchen.
Don't worry about practicality; Black sinks are just as easy to maintain as lighter ones.
Regular wiping with a soft cloth will prevent water stains from accumulating.
The advantage of black is that it hides stains and scratches better.
Because black sinks and faucets are so popular, we have prepared the ALVEUS BLACK EDITION especially for you, offering black Granital sinks, kitchen faucets and accessories.
2. SMART KITCHENS
Technological advances don't stop at kitchens.
Smart kitchens are equipped with advanced kitchen appliances that are connected to the network.
This includes smart refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and more. These devices allow remote control and management via smartphones.
For example, on the 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 keep track of the contents of your refrigerator and pantry. These innovations will make cooking more efficient and convenient.
3. GOLD AND BRONZE LUXURY
The colors of gold and bronze are no longer reserved for jewelry and prestigious decorations.
They have become trends in kitchen interior design and are no longer the exceptions.
These luxurious and shimmering shades can be used in a variety of ways to add sophistication and elegance to your kitchen space.
The easiest way to incorporate gold and bronze is through a sink and faucet.
With the Alveus Monarch line, the sink and faucet will become the centerpieces of your kitchen, more than just functional objects – It will be designer 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 (wiping with a microfiber cloth).
In addition, a special ceramic nitride coating makes it highly scratch-resistant.
These sinks blend beautifully with a variety of color combinations and kitchen styles, from classic to modern and minimalist.
Another unique feature of Alveus Monarch sinks is the ability to combine colors with the Mix It Up system, allowing you to achieve a completely individual and unique look.
For example, a sink may be one color, while a drain and overflow are a different color.
4. KITCHEN ISLAND - MEETING CENTER
A kitchen island is becoming an essential element of modern kitchens, But it is evolving towards more functional and flexible forms.
Elevated portions with bar stools allow for socializing while preparing food, adding to the social aspect of the kitchen.
Family members or guests can sit and talk while cooking.
It is also a space where children can do their homework or engage in activities under the supervision of their parents.
5. NATURAL TOUCH
In our busy lives, we seek a connection with nature, even in the interiors of our homes.
That's why in 2024, a natural accent in the kitchen will be a visible trend.
Wood remains a key element in modern kitchens, and the addition of plants and natural décor such as 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 add an organic touch to your kitchen, the Granital sink is a fantastic addition.
Alveus Granital is a mix of two materials. It is one of the most durable materials on the market, surpassing even natural granite, which is the second hardest substance on Earth after diamonds.
This mixture gives Alveus sinks incredible strength while maintaining flexibility and resistance to high temperatures.
In 2024, there will be more Alveus innovations in the Granital material.
The first of these will be the OMNI family of sinks, known for its elegant and fashionable look, available in four natural shades. Here you can also find the existing Granital sink families from Alveus.
6. OPEN SHELVES AND DISPLAY CASES
Open shelves and glass cabinets have become a popular choice in modern kitchens.
Instead of traditional locked cabinets, these accessible solutions allow you to express your creativity and style in a unique way.
You can display your favorite foods, cups, and glasses as part of your kitchen décor, creating a visually appealing space.
Open shelves also create a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere in the kitchen, making it more welcoming and inviting.
Additionally, they provide easy access to kitchen equipment and tools, making cooking and organization easier.
7. STAINLESS STEEL - A 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 is a material that never goes out of fashion.
Every year, Alveus experts prepare stainless steel innovations that are in line with trends in functionality and design.
Alveus uses only high-quality steel, ensuring a long service life for its sinks. It is easy to clean and resistant to impacts, chemical influences and high temperatures.
This year, the Alveus development team introduced a new family of stainless steel sinks that stands out for its unique and modern design – the LUXAL family made of stainless steel.
8. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the world.
Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient appliances are in line with the ecological trend in kitchen design.
Alveus places a strong emphasis on 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 long lifespan.
Some materials (e.g. inox) are even 100% biodegradable. Alveus products are shipped to customers in environmentally friendly packaging – replacing polystyrene with cardboard.
