From year to year, we see new trends in kitchen design. Like in any other field, the ideas in this industry constantly evolve. What’s considered to be stylish one year may soon become outdated. If we want to remain relevant, we must keep up with these trends. With vast expertise and an unrivalled passion for creative design, The Main Company has been creating handcrafted, naturally bespoke kitchens for over 40 years. We have offered handcrafted, exquisite designs to our customers since 1978. If you’re looking for a stylish, modern kitchen with traditional craftsmanship, you’re at the right place. Our catalogue contains various options for people with different tastes. Let’s review some of the top trends in custom kitchen design for 2024.
Sustainable Materials Take Center Stage
As awareness of ecological problems increases, people start to make sustainable choices. This tendency has been evident for the last couple of years, but in 2024, this trend has grown even more. It is no surprise that we are considering these eco-friendly options as we realise that the planet needs our help and that we need to look after future generations. At The Main Company, we pride ourselves on using the best in new, salvaged and reclaimed materials to deliver custom-made designs with distinctive charm and individuality. We use reclaimed solid wood and metal. Contrary to popular belief, reclaimed doesn’t equate to lower quality; rather, it signifies the use of the highest quality materials that are eco-friendly and possess a rich history. You can tell easily that our commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of our process.
As one of only a few companies in the UK that engineer reclaimed timber flooring that is also compatible with underfloor heating, our machinery ensures that flooring can be re-machined to the highest of standards. If you want to keep up with this trend, we encourage you to check out our ex-display kitchens and reclaimed kitchens.
Smart Technology Integration
Technology is an indispensable part of modern life. It helps us save time and manage everyday tasks more easily. Appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers are the central part of the kitchen. It is hard to imagine our lives without household appliances. If you want to live comfortably and be more efficient, you must use these opportunities to your advantage. Long has gone the time when housewives stayed home and took care of washing and cooking. We live in the 21st century, when technology has boomed and made our lives easier. Our contemporary kitchens are suited for innovative people with dynamic lifestyles.

Multifunctional Kitchen Islands
In 2024, we see a new trend of multifunctional kitchen islands. Beyond their traditional role as extra prep space, these islands are now designed with versatility in mind. It is very much understandable if we think for a minute what defines today’s reality. In a fast-paced world, we try to be more productive and savvy. This trend is a reflection of modernity. Incorporating seating directly into the island creates a casual dining area and fosters a more inclusive atmosphere. It allows you to interact with family and guests while cooking. That is why this option is handy and often a favourite to our clients. This trend maximises space utilisation and promotes socialisation.
Bold Colour Choices
As the world becomes louder and more straightforward, it is shown in interior design as well. You will see that in 2024, people prefer bold colours in their kitchen design. Vibrant hues add personality and character to the kitchen and make it feel more customised. From striking cabinet colours like deep blues and rich greens to dramatic backsplashes in bold patterns or bright tones, bold colours are transforming kitchens into lively spaces. Traditional all-white kitchens are no longer in the spotlight. These colourful designs have replaced them, and they encourage you to be more creative and expressive.
