Cabinets are one of the most important parts of your kitchen design. Not only are cabinets valuable for storage and organization purposes, but they are often a focal point in your kitchen. Outside of the fridge and sink, your cabinets are probably the most highly used elements of your kitchen, as you open drawers and doors to access the items you need.
One of the most impactful ways to upgrade your kitchen is to modify your cabinetry’s appearance using high-quality cabinets from KraftMaid. We have outlined some of the top trends below to help inspire your kitchen remodel.
Transitional Styling
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly kitchen remodel, partially replacing your cabinet doors with a complimentary style is a great place to start. A combination of different styles in harmonizing colors can create an inviting space, and the possibilities are almost limitless. You could pair your more traditional cabinets with a sleek modern island or add romantic hardware to your contemporary drawers.
This transitional styling may include modern, open shelving paired with crown molding inserts.
If you are not ready to fully commit to new cabinets, create the same transitional effect with decorative elements and kitchenware. An industrial kitchen appliance on your traditional wooden shelves or copper cups behind glass cabinets can add elements of this trend to your home.
Keep it Simple
Maintaining simplicity in your kitchen design allows you to add both value and mass appeal to your home. Having cabinets that are both functional and beautiful can give your space a modern, clean look. This trend commonly reoccurs in cabinetry design for its timeless appearance.
Using shaker or slab-style doors are the most popular cabinet door options to maintain a minimalist, and modern style.
More Wood
As entirely white kitchens slowly fade from being in fashion, designers are seeing homeowners use more wood in their designs. From light oak to mahogany, the options are nearly limitless for wooden kitchen cabinets.
Wood adds dimension and warm luxury to any space, bringing the natural element into your space. Deciding which wood and color to select should be determined based on the lighting in your kitchen and the countertops in the space.
Some wood materials are preferred for stained wood cabinets because of the more pronounced grain of wood. Not only are wood cabinets durable and built to last, but the unique grain, pattern, and textures of each cabinet will make your kitchen truly one-of-a-kind.
Color Customization
As seen in the transitional styling trend, cabinets need not be uniform throughout a kitchen. In that same vein, having cabinets with more than one color throughout your space is a great way to show your personal style.
In the past few years, blue and gray kitchens have become more popular. Gray can transform a space, and it can coordinate with warm or cool tones depending on the undertone of the paint.
