Modern houses are increasingly committed to open spaces and connected environments. Thus, the barriers between the living room, the dining room and the kitchen have tended to disappear in recent years and 2024 maintains this trend towards ‘open space’ in homes. Therefore, the kitchen becomes one more part of the living room, being much more than a space that seeks functionality.

The idea of a kitchen that is increasingly visible in relation to the rest of the spaces in the house is also transferred to the kitchen furniture itself. The furniture trends for 2024 are inspired by the most cosmopolitan and modern markets and bars, where visible shelves and the arrangement of food, spices and jars of all kinds are carefully arranged to be one more decorative element.
