Kitchen worktops, splashbacks and furniture cladding have previously focused on granite, quartz and marble. But as new innovations and advances in sustainability have meant that slabs of porcelain are richer and more design-led than ever before, it’s become the material of choice for the kitchens of 2024.
Available in a huge choice of colours, textures, sizes, finishes and patterns, porcelain has a similar look and feel of these former surface heroes but without the price tag and maintenance to match. Porcelain also offers many benefits as well as aesthetics – it’s waterproof, hygienic, durable, hardwearing, UV, stain and scratch resistant as well as easy to clean. With Laminam superior natural and sustainable surfaces, you can bring an authentic Italian look and feel into your kitchen for less.
Dark kitchens are big news for 2024 with black surfaces and splashbacks alongside additional dark elements such as stained or painted cabinetry for an opulent finish. This statement style can also be achieved with porcelain worksurfaces, which are easy to clean and care for so they won’t lose their lustrous sheen, giving your kitchen that high-end luxury look.
We’re all making more sustainable choices when it comes to the products we choose for our homes and this goes for the whole production process too. Brands and manufacturers who embrace an eco-friendly way of production, packaging and delivery will be highly sought after.
More of us will also be looking for natural materials for our kitchen and products that are safe to be recycled at the end of their life. Kitchens for 2024 will see a lot more recycled, upcycled and handcrafted pieces too.
Laminam is the perfect option when it comes to your kitchen surfaces, as porcelain is incredibly eco-friendly and has one of the lowest carbon footprints. Our surfaces contain up to 60% recycled materials while 100% of the water used is fed back into production with 95% raw waste recovered.
Much like bathrooms, kitchens are set to become spaces for self-care and well-being. With the rise in healthy home cooking and biophilic design, this key trend will transform the kitchen into an area of calm, whether cooking, dining or entertaining. One way to achieve this is with design elements that bring a sense of the outside, in. This could be with plants and fresh herbs, an earthy colour palette or the use of natural materials such as porcelain.
