Philadelphia Kitchen and Bath Trends 2024: A Local Designer’s Guide
As we step into 2024, Philadelphia's kitchen and bathroom design landscape is embracing nature and personal flair like never before. Devin, our NKBA Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer, shares the latest trends that are transforming homes across our vibrant city.
Embracing Warmer, Earthier Color Palettes
Gone are the days of the all-gray palette.
Warmer Neutral Tones
This year, we're welcoming a shift towards warmth and coziness with dried clay and putty hues, replacing the once ubiquitous millennial gray. Whites are taking a turn too, from stark brightness to the softness of canvas or linen, adding a serene backdrop to our spaces. Earthy Colors Drawing from the rich tapestry of the earth, we're infusing our designs with terracotta, ochre, forest green, and ocean blues. These colors not only add depth but also bring the calming essence of nature into our homes.
Natural Wood Tones
Natural wood tones, devoid of the dated orange or red stain, are also gaining popularity. Textural alder, cherry, and quarter sawn white oak wood species will lend a more organic feel to more layered design spaces. With a collective yearning for genuine materials, we're moving away from the faux era towards authenticity and sustainability.
Timeless Natural Stones
Slate, terracotta, limestone, marble, and quartzite are making a comeback, offering timeless elegance that resists dating. These materials are not just about aesthetics; they’re a nod towards durability and sustainability
Seamless Integration
Integrated sinks are carving their niche in both kitchens and baths, offering a sleek, unified look that elevates the space.
Vintage Materials
And for those who cherish uniqueness, the incorporation of vintage or thrifted materials is more than a trend; it’s a statement of individuality and environmental consciousness.
Statement Pieces: The Heart of Design
Elevate your space with statement pieces that capture attention and express elegance.
Range Hoods
To take your kitchen to the next level of design, a statement or custom hood in a custom, metal or wood finish contrasted from, or integrated with the rest of the kitchen cabinetry is a must.
Accent Lighting
Widely considered the jewelry of the home, unique lighting personalized to every client adds that ‘extra touch’ to take your kitchen or bath design from bare to illuminous.
Innovative Showers
Custom showers, with their myriad of personalized features, are defining luxury in the bathroom. Think recessed alcoves, curbless entries, and hidden drains for a sleek, modern look.

Cabinetry: Beyond Functionality
2024 sees a departure from standard cabinetry to furniture-style designs that add character and warmth to your space.
Built-In Comfort
Integrated seating, whether in the form of a cozy banquette or a practical island extension, emphasizes comfort and functionality, making every meal an experience.
Convenient Beverage Centers
Be it a coffee station, wet bar, or dry bar depending on the individual needs of the client, a separate area to prepare beverages separated from the main workflow of the kitchen can be immensely convenient.
The Bigger Picture: Sustainability and Individuality
At the core of 2024's trends is a focus on sustainable materials and designs that promote healthy living.
But beyond any trend, we celebrate individuality. Your home is your canvas, and this year, we're here to help you paint it with your unique strokes.
