Kitchen trend: round shapes in the kitchen
The kitchen is no longer a place where people only cook; it has become a central space where families gather and where guests are welcomed, it is a place where memories are made. In 2024, we will see a clear trend that perfectly reflects this idea of coziness and functionality: round shapes.
Soft, organic shapes
Round shapes in the kitchen create a sense of softness and organic harmony. Where previously clean, straight lines dominated, we now see a shift towards rounded edges and curved lines. This is not only visually appealing, but also practical. Without sharp corners, the risk of bumps and accidents is significantly reduced, which is ideal in households with young children.
Round worktops
One of the most striking trends is the use of rounded worktops on kitchen islands. This element forms the heart of the kitchen and with its soft shape it invites interaction and collaboration. Rounded worktops are not only beautiful, but also functional, because they offer more freedom of movement and make the space more accessible. Kitchen islands with rounded corners ensure a smooth flow from one side of the kitchen to the other.
The rounded part of the island is usually used as a bar. What we also see a lot is a round bar top on the island. This creates a contrast of shapes which creates a playful effect.
Materials and colours
Natural materials such as wood, marble and stone are often used to make these round shapes stand out. These materials enhance the organic look and add a sense of warmth and luxury to the kitchen. In terms of colours, we see many soft, neutral shades such as cream, beige and light grey, which accentuate the calm and inviting atmosphere of the round shapes.
