Interview to Mario Bolici, CEO of Interni and Bolici International

As an Interior Design & Manufacturer Expert, what are the top trends for 2024 that you’ve identified?

From my experience in interior design and manufacturing, and after exploring the latest insights from Salone del Mobile in Milan, EuroCucina, and recent industry reports, I've noticed some interesting trends for 2024. These trends are set to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of kitchens, adding significant value to homes. For 2024, luxury kitchen designs focus on seamlessly blending elegance with functionality.

1. Bold & Modern Color Palette 


In 2024, Luxury Kitchen Design are moving away from the traditional whites and grays. Bold, Vibrant Colors are taking center stage, with Deep Blues, Rich Greens, and Striking Terracotta shades becoming increasingly popular. These colors add warmth and personality to the kitchen, creating a space that is both Inviting and Stylish.

Why It Matters:

  • Bold colors make a strong design statement.
  • They can be paired with natural materials to create a balanced look.
  • Adding color to your kitchen can make it a focal point of your home.

Example: The use of Pantone's Color of the Year 2024, "Radiant Green", in Kitchen Cabinetry and Backsplashes has been a hit at the latest design fairs, bringing a fresh and lively feel to the heart of the home. Modern kitchens are embracing bold colors like rich green (#355E3B), deep blue (#2C3E50), and warm white (#F5F5DC). These colors create a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere

2. Sustainable, Innovative and Eco-Friendly Materials


Sustainability continues to be a driving force in Kitchen Design. In 2024, expect to see more Eco-Friendly Materials such as Recycled Wood, Bamboo, and Reclaimed Stone. These materials not only reduce environmental impact but also add a unique, natural aesthetic to your kitchen.

Why It Matters:

  • Eco-friendly materials support sustainable living.
  • They often have unique textures and patterns, adding character to your kitchen.
  • Using sustainable materials can increase the value of your home.

Example: A new practice gaining popularity is the use of Mushroom-Based Composite Materials for countertops and cabinetry. This innovative material is not only sustainable but also boasts excellent durability and unique aesthetics.

These materials are derived from mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, and are known for their sustainability, durability, and unique aesthetic qualities.


Benefits of Mushroom-Based Composites:

  • Sustainability: These materials are biodegradable and produced with minimal environmental impact.
  • Durability: Despite their organic origins, mushroom-based composites are strong and resilient.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: They offer unique textures and appearances that can enhance the visual appeal of your kitchen.
