Kitchen Cabinet Trends

Kitchen and bath remodeling are top of mind because many of our clients spend almost all of their time in their homes. Many homeowners are making decisions to improve their kitchens’ quality, baths, and other rooms in their homes to respond to the paradigm shift in the way they want and need their homes to function and perform.

The big trends we see include upgrading kitchen cabinetry that occurs with almost every kitchen remodel. The need and desire for improved and enhanced storage drive kitchen cabinet upgrades simply because homeowners are spending more time in their kitchens preparing meals, eating, cleaning up, working, schooling, and performing numerous other tasks. They simply need their kitchens to function and perform much better without necessarily having to increase the size of the kitchen.

Not surprisingly, we see greater demand for storage solutions and pantries, including walk-in, free-standing, pull-out, built-in, and wall pantries. Many homeowners are pleasantly shocked when we show them how they can create pantry space in their new kitchens without changing the size or footprint.

Another trend is a movement toward enclosed kitchens versus open floor plans that flow into other rooms in the home. With children schooling from home and parents working from home, having enclosed spaces that provide privacy and soundproofing are features that many homeowners find extremely attractive.

White shaker cabinets continue to be the most popular choice for homeowners. Neutral tone cabinets, countertops, and wall coverings are most popular in our region. Gray, white and beige wall coverings are the most popular colors. However, many homeowners favor a splash of color in their new kitchens. Blue and green tones are particularly popular for walls, countertops, backsplashes, and even appliances. Black stainless appliances continue to gain in popularity as they off provide a wonderful contrast to white cabinets. Many of our clients also select different cabinet colors for their islands that complement their cabinets, countertops, backsplashes. Blue and gray are among the more popular contrasting colors.
