Trends in Kitchen Cabinetry Design

The kitchen is the heart of any home. When it becomes dated, or sorely lacks the functionality or space you need, it can be time to embark on a kitchen remodeling journey. Before you start ripping out cabinets and backsplash and coating the walls with primer, you must have a vision—or at least a couple ideas—for what you want the new, remodeled kitchen to look like. This usually begins with choosing your cabinets. You will likely be balancing a desire for something new and modern with complementing the existing style of your home. Sometimes the sheer volume of options available can be overwhelming for our customers. We’ve gathered some of the current trends we are seeing for kitchen cabinetry design to help spark your imagination and, we hope, help you fine tune your vision for your kitchen remodel.

• • Soft, neutral color schemes. We’re seeing less bold, bright colors and more soft color schemes, such as gray, white, or even light blue. Many homeowners approach a kitchen remodel with the intent to lighten up a previously dark space due to dark shades of wood and paint. Choosing an earthy, neutral color scheme for both your cabinetry and your wall color is a great way to accomplish that.

• • Simple cabinetry design. Intricate patterns, particularly on kitchen cabinets, are less popular than simple, clean designs. Many cabinetry retailers, including Legacy, are embracing this trend, offering a variety of styles and finishes to fit a client’s exact preference. The classic shaker style, which is a recessed, rectangular design, continues to be a popular choice of our customers.

• A focus on function. A beautiful kitchen that is not functional is not a good investment, for the simple reason that it will not meet your needs. When you are planning your remodel, you have an opportunity to add essential function to your kitchen. Many cabinetry providers offer functional options such as Lazy Susan corner cabinets, pullout shelving, kitchen drawers designed to hold knives or other kitchen items, and extra storage above upper cabinets.
