They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, but sometimes, following the latest design trends can be just as important as pouring your heart into your kitchen’s decor—especially if you’re aiming to impress with your interior design or increase the value of your property. Whether you’re planning a complete overhaul or simply looking to refresh some elements, staying ahead of the curve can transform your kitchen into a stylish and functional space that caters to modern living.
So, for anyone curious about which trends have been making waves in 2024 that are worth considering revamping their kitchens with, here’s a look at the top 10 design movements shaping today’s culinary spaces.
In 2024, the clean, uncluttered ethos of minimalism continues to captivate homeowners, especially those aiming to blend functionality with streamlined luxury.
This approach extends beyond mere visual allure; it simplifies the kitchen environment, reducing clutter and enhancing the overall usability of the space. Open shelving, for one, supports this minimalist trend by offering an organised display area for kitchenware, transforming everyday items into decor pieces.
To complement the minimalist design, even often overlooked appliances like cooker hoods are being designed to fit seamlessly into this aesthetic.
FUJIOH’s FR-CL1890 model, for instance, showcases the perfect blend of form and function. Available in elegant monochrome colours such as white and black, as well as distinctive other tones, these kitchen hoods add a touch of sophistication while maintaining the clean lines and monochromatic look favoured in minimalist kitchen designs. Similarly, the FR-SC2090 model complements this aesthetic with its availability in textured black, textured white, silver metallic, and more, further enhancing the minimalist design with a sleek, modern finish.

But while monochromatic minimalism is all the rave, gone are the days when white dominated kitchen design.
In 2024, embracing earthy and sandy hues such as powder pink, salmon, and olive green is the key to crafting a modern living space. These colours not only inject life and vibrancy into your kitchen but also reflect a deep connection with nature’s palette. And when paired with minimalist designs, these relatively bold colours create a refined yet dynamic aesthetic.
At FUJIOH, we recognise the desire for flair in kitchen design.
Designed by leading professionals and engineered for excellence, our range of cooker hoods offers a variety of features, including a high oil-capturing ratio and quiet operation, among others. Available in a range of colours to perfectly match your kitchen’s style, options include solid colours like the seasonal exclusive Sakura Bloom Pink and even sophisticated two-tone combinations—such as textured black with silver metallic, textured white with silver metallic, and silver metallic with rich silver. These customisable options allow you to tailor your kitchen’s look to your heart’s content.
Why settle for one hue when you can mix and match to create your ideal kitchen palette?
Now, there is no doubt that the integration of technology into kitchen design has become not just a trend but a standard many homeowners expect. Given this advancement, today’s kitchens are becoming hubs of efficiency with appliances designed to streamline cooking processes and enhance user convenience.
So, what types of home kitchen appliances can you utilise to embrace this shift in kitchen design?
In line with this trend, FUJIOH’s FR-MS2390 cooker hood represents the pinnacle of kitchen appliance innovation. How so, you ask?
This super slim kitchen hood features cutting-edge gesture control technology, allowing users to effortlessly operate the hood with simple hand motions. Powering on, adjusting speed, and powering off require nothing more than a wave of your hand, exemplifying the hands-free operation that modern homeowners crave. This not only offers superior convenience but also aligns perfectly with the sleek, high-tech aesthetic that is increasingly popular in contemporary kitchen designs.
Additionally, our ovens, like the FV-EL62 built-in oven with Pyrolytic Self-Clean, exemplify this integration of convenience with swift cleaning technology that heats the oven to a high temperature of up to 445°C, effectively incinerating food residues and grease. This feature not only allows for a quick and easy wipe-down but also eliminates the need for laborious scrubbing.
This year, we also see kitchen design going through an evolution with the use of mixed materials and textures, turning surfaces into vibrant playgrounds for creativity.
For instance, the increasing popularity of incorporating varied textures has been making a significant impact, with stainless steel leading the trend as a preferred choice for adding a sleek, elegant accent.
Beyond that, the charm of kitchen design also lies in the combination of robust metallic elements with more delicate materials such as glass, creating a visually striking contrast that enhances both functionality and style.

In this vein, FUJIOH’s FR-FS2290 cooker hood is a prime example of how mixed textures and colours can revolutionise kitchen appliances. This slim kitchen hood features an ultra-slim design that comes with a choice of seven colours, including four solid shades and three two-tone combinations—textured black with silver, textured white with silver, and silver metallic with rich silver. This selection contributes to a modern aesthetic that complements any contemporary kitchen.
This next trend is all about creating spaces that not only look good but also promote comfort and well-being. We’re talking about features that enhance air quality, reduce contaminants, and facilitate clean cooking practices.
FUJIOH is at the forefront of this movement, with innovations designed to promote a healthier cooking environment. For example, our cooker hoods, equipped with the Aqua Slit Filter featuring a hydrophilic coating, make cleaning effortless by allowing grease to be washed away with just water. Additionally, our Super Kirei Fan technology* plays a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and functionality by effectively eliminating oil and stain build-up, repelling and channelling cooking fumes into an oil tray, and ensuring the internal body of the hood remains pristine over extended periods.
*only for Made in Japan models
By integrating these features, FUJIOH cooker hoods not only support a clean kitchen but also contribute to the overall wellness of the home, making them a pivotal element of any comfort-centric kitchen design.
Regardless of all the trends that may come and go, the desire for a kitchen that truly reflects personal style and functional preferences always stands strong, which makes personal aesthetics a timeless trend in kitchen design.
FUJIOH embraces this trend by offering extensive colour options for our range of cooker hoods.
Understanding that every kitchen has its unique flair, FUJIOH provides several pre-set colour combinations to complement different design themes. Whether you prefer the understated elegance of a solid monochrome tone or the vibrant contrast of two-tone combinations, FUJIOH ensures your cooker hood enhances both the functionality and style of your kitchen, making every piece a standout element of your home decor.
Matte finishes have been making a significant impact in kitchen design this year as well, favoured for their sophisticated, contemporary look that avoids the glare and fingerprints associated with glossier surfaces.
While an all-matte finish can be stunning, you don’t need to overhaul your entire kitchen to be on board with this trend. In fact, integrating matte finishes through smaller elements can effectively elevate your kitchen’s style, too.
For instance, FUJIOH embraces this trend by incorporating matte finishes into our range of Made in Japan cooker hoods. This subtle yet stylish feature not only complements a modern aesthetic with its understated elegance but also seamlessly ties into the matte aesthetic, proving that even the smallest details can make a significant difference in achieving a contemporary kitchen design.

With the rapid changes in kitchen design trends, the appeal of timeless elements combined with unique, modern touches continues to grow. These designs are not only built to last but also to create a lasting impression, blending classic aesthetics with contemporary innovation.
And the key to a timeless kitchen lies in the details—subtle geometries and distinctive features that draw the eye and create compelling visual lines, ensuring the space remains relevant and stylish year after year.
Embodying this philosophy is FUJIOH’s FR-SC2090 cooker hood, an inclined design kitchen hood that marries form with function in a beautifully ergonomic way. This model showcases a sleek, stylish design that not only enhances the look of diverse kitchen designs but also enhances usability. In addition, its lower positioning relative to the hob optimises the absorption of cooking fumes, making the kitchen environment cleaner and more pleasant.
In today’s kitchens, flexibility and functionality reign supreme, leading many homeowners to explore the benefits of combining induction and gas cooker hobs. This innovative approach caters to diverse cooking preferences and techniques, allowing for a more adaptable and efficient cooking environment. Whether you prefer the precise temperature control of gas or the quick and even heating of induction, integrating both types of hobs into your kitchen setup ensures you’re equipped for any culinary challenge.

FUJIOH recognises this need for versatility and offers solutions such as the Domino series, which allows for the seamless integration of different hob types within the same space. This combination allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds—rapid, efficient induction heating for quick meals and the nuanced control of gas for simmering and searing—providing a versatile cooking experience that meets all your needs.
Concealed kitchens revolve around integrating kitchen appliances and fixtures seamlessly into the overall design, making them virtually invisible when not in use. The goal is to create a kitchen that appears as a continuous extension of the living space.
FUJIOH’s offerings perfectly complement the concealed kitchen concept. Our induction hobs, such as the FH-ID5230’s bevelled design, are designed to blend smoothly with your countertops, providing powerful functionality while maintaining a low profile.
Similarly, FUJIOH’s slim cooker hoods offer efficient ventilation without disrupting the visual harmony of your kitchen. Together, these appliances provide the necessary kitchen functions while keeping the design streamlined and sophisticated.
As we look towards the future of kitchen design with the new ones that are bound to pop up in 2025, it’s clear that the trends are not just about aesthetics but also about incorporating practicality and advanced technology into our daily lives.
At FUJIOH, we are committed to enhancing these trends with our state-of-the-art cooker hoods and gas cooker hobs, designed to meet the highest standards of performance and style.
