Living room aesthetics transition from contemporary to artistic. Bathroom designs go from modern and sleek to subtle and functional. Bedrooms are altered depending on phases of life and personality. If all of these other rooms can twist and turn their style, why can’t the kitchen? In this article, we will focus on kitchen cabinet trends for the upcoming year. If you’re looking to remodel or spruce up yours, read on!
Open Shelving

Who needs closed and concealed cabinets when you can have open shelving? Travel outside the norm and place your favorite bowls, plates, cups, and mugs in the open for all to see. This break from tradition will give your home a sense of freedom – you just have to watch for mismatched dishware. This is no place to have blue, yellow, and green plates on the shelves. Unless, of course, you’re taking an artsy approach to the room.
Utility Island With Cabinets

The kitchen island has won the popularity contest in modern kitchens, but lately, they’ve proved even more functional and versatile than ever before. Instead of just sitting pretty in the middle of the floor plan, offering a tabletop and surrounding seating for people to have a snack or meal, in 2024, most islands will house cabinets, drawers, pullout shelves, garbage disposals, sinks, and more. Make it stand out by painting the exterior a vibrant accent color or using natural wood stains with a spectacular marble surface.
Warm & Rich Colors

Say bye-bye to all-white kitchens and hello to warm and rich colors. We’re talking dramatic and unexpected combinations like chocolate brown and burgundy or underrated neutrals like pumpkin and navy blue paired together (like in the photo above). The goal is to infuse the kitchen with a homey and cozy appearance so that everyone who enters feels welcome.
Wood Grain Options

Many homeowners are seeking a more eco-friendly approach to home remodels, and one way they’re doing that is through organic wood textures for their kitchen cabinets. The raw materials are inherently beautiful, complex, and unique, making it easy to clear-coat or apply a topcoat stain to amplify their texturized imperfections. The aesthetic provides a warm atmosphere to residents and guests alike.
Glass-Front Cabinets

A good way to make kitchen cabinets trendy is to replace the doors with glass fronts. This updated look gives the appearance of floating shelves with a subtle closed-off feeling. No dust particles will land on your dishes, but people can still see your plates and cups – another great reason to get creative with vibrant dishware.
