Interior design experts are sharing their insights on transforming your kitchen into a timeless haven, moving away from the farmhouse trend that’s been trending in recent years. Once characterized by shaker cabinets, airy spaces, and vintage appliances, the farmhouse look is seeing a decline in popularity for 2024.
A TikTok comment by user @NationalStoneLV, representing someone in the countertops and flooring industry, predicts a decrease in the farmhouse trend. Instead, variations hinting at a more timeless design are emerging.
Design duo Patrick and Meghan Sharp suggest that the farmhouse craze is tapering off. Although traditional kitchens with farmhouse elements are still considered timeless, a full embrace of the farmhouse aesthetic is unlikely. Laura Botelho, a Dallas-based interior designer, notes a transition towards a European cottage style that integrates old-world charm with new organic elements, such as aged brass fixtures and natural stones.
Marisa Bettencourt, founder of North + Fair Interior Design, emphasizes the importance of timeless elements due to the cost-intensive nature of renovations. She recommends seeking designs that resonate with personal taste across elements like color and texture to avoid overly thematic spaces.
Designer Eugene Corless critiques the overused “shaker style” cabinets, suggesting instead a blend of materials for a more nuanced appeal. For instance, contrasting stained oak with painted finishes can create harmony without uniformity.
