Looking at this kitchen, you might not immediately think it belongs to a Hollywood star. Celebrities are gradually moving away from extravagance, embracing simplicity and functionality instead—and Anne Hathaway’s kitchen is a perfect example.
One of the biggest kitchen trends for 2024 is natural, unpainted wood. While it has never truly gone out of style, it’s now enjoying a fresh resurgence. Many stars are opting for simple, rustic aesthetics over "glamorous" interiors, and Hathaway is no exception.
Anne Hathaway lives with her husband, Adam Shulman, in a cozy Alpine-style cottage, with interiors designed in collaboration with the Shamshiri studio. The star of the home is wood in all its natural beauty. The kitchen, in particular, charms with its rustic vibe, featuring a robust professional-grade stove adorned with hanging copper pans and skillets overhead.
In Anne’s kitchen, there are no overhead cabinets. Instead, simple light-wood shelves hang above cabinetry in a trendy mint-green hue. Wood also covers the ceiling, floors, and even the walls, with the only exception being a classic backsplash of small white square tiles behind the stove—a subtle nod to tradition.
Although this kitchen isn’t brand new, it’s easy to see how the popularity of rustic style is gaining momentum. We’ll likely see more of it well into 2025.
Wood is an ideal choice for interiors. It comes in a wide range of tones and can seamlessly complement any style, adding warmth and coziness. As Anne Hathaway’s kitchen demonstrates, this material is versatile enough to be used on nearly every surface.
