Cabinet styles and trends checklist.

  • Less is more in cabinetry design. Popular choices include the clean lines offered by Shaker and flat-panel door styles. These simple yet striking styles adapt easily in transitional or contemporary rooms.
  • Island heights are trending toward the same 36” height as countertops to create a more open feel and larger work space, versus a raised island/bar area that can limit visibility.
  • Open shelving creates an airy display area for decorative dishware.
  • Mixing wood species and colors adds interest and an eclectic flair to your space. Islands, hutches and the inside surfaces of open cabinets are great places to include a complementary color.
  • Cabinetry replicating the look of furniture is elegant for spa-like vanities, buffets, hutches or entertainment areas.
  • Recycling bins are being included in kitchen and mudroom cabinetry designs for discreet yet easy sorting
  • Base drawer cabinets are being incorporated into kitchen design. Contents stored in deep drawers are more visible, and are accessible with less bending. A variety of dividers are available for organizing plates, cookware or utensils.
  • White remains the top color in cabinetry, however, expect to see warmer off-whites and a variety of neutral gray tones.
