Top Renovation Tips And Trends For 2024!

February 2, 2024-5 min read

Wishing for a crystal ball before committing to a big home renovation? Well, here’s your peek into the future of kitchens and laundries in 2024! And, hot tip, we can tell you they’re big on colour, brimming with the latest tech (hello, fancy fridge) and design features to make your busy life just that little bit easier.The secret to a successful reno is to anchor your design around your new appliances. “The last thing you want is to have your kitchen or laundry cabinetry designed and built only to discover your dream oven, fridge or washing machine doesn’t fit on install day,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Refrigeration and Laundry.

“If you are a keen cook, chances are you’ve got the exact steam oven or induction cooktop in mind. Taking an appliance-first approach to your design will ensure those star appliances fit seamlessly into your space.”

What Are The Top Kitchen Appliance Trends For 2024?

Timeless steel finishes and classic white will never go out of style, but the biggest kitchen trend for 2024 puts appliances front and centre in glorious technicolour. 

“Kitchen colour can now start with appliances, not just tiles and paint – even big-ticket items such as ovens, rangehoods and fridges are colour customisable,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking and Dishwasher.

What Are The Top Laundry Appliance Trends For 2024?

Space saving, energy efficiency and appliances that work double time to streamline the laundry workload will be the big trends in laundries for 2024.

“The latest smart-tech washing machines and dryers will help you conquer the laundry piles, but 2024 will also be about saving money by cutting down on energy use in the laundry,” says Peter Simic.

Here are our top five renovation trends for 2024.

Tip #1: Colour Is Big!

White on white is classic, but the 2024 colour trend is about heating up the kitchen with wild pops and pastel perfection.

Make a statement with Smeg’s Italian inspired brights in ovens and rangehoods, or the Samsung Bespoke fridge range with interchangeable door panels in shimmering pink, soft beige and sky blue.

If you’re a kitchen chameleon or can’t commit to a repaint or new benchtops, add a splash using colourful small appliances.

Tip #2: Fancy Fridges

Just chilling? Not anymore! In 2024, your fridge can also be your new personal assistant. Sync your devices to keep track of the family calendar, answer calls and stream straight from the fridge door!

“The fridge technology available today sounds futuristic but it’s actually an affordable option in everyday homes. With Wi-Fi connectivity and built-in recipe apps, you can even ask your fridge to help suggest dinner ideas,” says Peter Simic.

Flexible food storage options allow you to switch sections in the fridge to cool, chill or deep freeze as you need it, and if you’re keen to impress on cocktail night, look for customisable ice to complement the craft drinks craze. Think golf balls, fancy cubes or crunchy pebbles.

Tip #3 Air Fryer Ovens

We’ll fall even more in love with air frying in 2024 as the air fryer, once only a benchtop appliance, appears as a setting in ovens. In-oven air frying allows for bigger batches, making family dinners an even faster affair.

It’s also time to go big, with 90cm ovens the new norm, making more room for big baking trays and entertainer-sized roasting pans.

Tip #4 Smart Rangehoods

Don’t underestimate what a well-designed rangehood brings to a space – these are now a headline act in kitchens. Pairing function with sculptural style, rangehoods are now available in glossy black or even bright red to amp up the drama.

Like other appliances, rangehoods have had an automation makeover. Look for sensors that automatically switch on when you start cooking then automatically adjust extraction levels, depending on what is cooking.

Tip #5 All-In-One Laundry Appliances

Laundry trends see appliances becoming one-stop-shops to streamline your workflow – and turn what was once a chore into more of a joy! There’s no double handling with washer dryer combos, while machines with auto-sensor tech select the ideal wash cycle, so you don’t have to! Plus, there’ll be more of those time-saving speed-clean systems you love.

Laundry floor space can be tight, so in 2024 roll in the LG WashTower 17kg–10kg Combo Washer Dryer in a stacked unit to reduce your appliance footprint. It’s also incredibly energy efficient – another hot trend for appliances in 2024 – helping you save on power bills.
