Stanley Tucci may be best known for his acclaimed film appearances, but he is also becoming well known in the "foodie" world of Italian cuisine.

On Instagram, the actor-turned-food influencer frequently posts videos of his culinary delights. But it's not just his delicious food that has caught the eye of many, it's his stunning, modern kitchen design.

Indeed, interior designers agree that the actor's choice of traditional styles, bold cabinet colors, marble worktops, and brass accents are the very components of the 2024 kitchen trend.

We asked our interior design experts to share their thoughts on Stanley's chic and luxe kitchen and how we can achieve that look in our own homes.

Perhaps the most eye-catching design feature in Tucci's kitchen is the blue-gray slate-colored cabinetry. Combined with the bright white wall background and brass cabinet handles, this modern take on the traditional shaker style works well to create an all the more luxe, bold, and modern look. [says Molly Woodward-Moore, interior designer and creative director of Stone Superstore. Blue, which is reminiscent of nature, is surprisingly calming when used in a large, enveloping way on the walls, ceiling, and kitchen cabinets, giving a sense of dependability and friendliness."

In contrast to the white walls, marble worktops, and gold accents, Tucci's kitchen is bright and fresh, with yet perfectly balanced palette that exudes character and warmth."

"The kitchen is a perfect balance of light and freshness, with a touch of warmth and character.

Additionally, bold kitchen cabinet colors are predicted to be a big trend in 2024, with many ditching neutrals and pastels for rich, vibrant tones and luxe design features." When designing your kitchen, you want it to last a lifetime, and the stunning combination of shaker doors, brass accents, and marble surfaces featured in Stanley Tucci's home is an utterly timeless and immensely popular style."

"Many people usually lean toward lighter tones in their kitchens for the purpose of "opening up" the space," adds Camilla Lesser, interior design expert at Essential Living. "But Stanley opted for a dark gray, which adds a trendy, modern feel. Combined with the monochrome marble countertops, the colors balance each other perfectly, giving the room a sophisticated and luxurious feel."

Another notable design style is the "open shelf" look in kitchens, which is now making waves. This can either replace wall cabinets or add extra storage. In Tucci's kitchen, stainless steel pots and other cooking utensils are neatly arranged on long floating shelves. In addition, the warm glow of the backlighting behind the shelves creates an ultra-luxurious ambiance.

"Another way Stanley brings texture to this space is by decorating with wooden elements," Lesser agrees. For example, displaying wooden cutting boards and utensil holders serves not only a utilitarian purpose, but also as a decorative element in the kitchen."

Open shelving is also a great way to declutter a kitchen. The idea is that all the clutter is in sight, so you're forced to clear out the clutter quickly (in theory.)

Fortunately, you don't have to be an A-list star to create an A-list kitchen. You can achieve this timeless, contemporary look on an affordable budget.

"You don't have to do a complete renovation to upgrade your kitchen," says Lesser. For example, "To recreate a Stanley Tucci kitchen, at a minimum, you need only replace handles and faucets and incorporate a deeper color scheme.

An inexpensive but subtle way to bring a little more luxury to a kitchen is to finish the cabinets with a touch of gold; Stanley uses brass-gold hardware, a popular metal among homeowners for its durability and aesthetic appeal. The gold hardware adds the perfect contrast to the gray color scheme, creating a warm, rich look." New accessories and cookware would also add sophistication and help tie the space together.

And what about eye-catching cabinets? If you don't want to replace your cabinets, you can always learn how to paint kitchen cabinets to transform them on a budget. Just remember to remove the kitchen cabinet doors, drawers, and handles first before preparing the room and painting. While it may seem convenient to paint kitchen cabinets while they are still hanging on their hinges, it is always best to remove these for a quality finish.

"With a few simple updates, you can employ these design cues to breathe new life into an existing space without taking out your kitchen," Woodward-Moore suggests.

"Repainting your kitchen cabinets is one of the most effective ways to revitalize the look of a tired kitchen. For the best coverage, it's important to invest in the right tools and paint type for your cabinet materials to ensure a high-quality finish you can be satisfied with. A moody, inky blue with a green base will look richer, while a dark gray paint with blue undertones is a good choice if you don't want to stray too far from neutral colors.

To finish the look, simply changing small hardware and fixtures can completely change the look of a space. Matching faucets and light fixtures to these color accents will complete the kitchen and create a truly cohesive and well thought-out design."

Marble countertops can give any kitchen an ultra-luxurious, top-of-the-line feel, but they also come with a top-of-the-line price tag. However, this look can be achieved with inexpensive alternatives.

"As an inexpensive alternative, opting for the identical look of marble-effect porcelain tile will provide better resilience against wear and tear in the kitchen while giving you that luxurious look for less. Porcelain tile alternatives also come in a much wider range of shapes, sizes, and colors, which means you can get creative with the marble effect look that works for you."

So whether you prefer bold, cabinet colors, marble worktops or stylish brass accents, take inspiration from Stanley Tucci's timeless kitchen to create a striking space this year.
